Our green commitment
HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM-FREE FINISHES
STUA’s chrome plating process uses a trivalent chromium bath to replace the highly-toxic hexavalent chromium bath.
The trivalent chromium process must produce hard chrome components that perform as well as or better than the older process.
Other additional advantages involved in this process:
• It is not necessary to reduce hexavalent chromium in wastewater.
• It makes it easier to handle and use the product.
• No gas emissions are produced.
STUA is committed to the environment.
Over the years it has been implicated to the search for environmentally friendly raw materials, processes, products and packaging.
Among many others, we can highlight the following characteristics and actions:
