The Cr Free REAL project aims to develop a process for removing anodic and conversion layers from aluminum without using hexavalent chromium. This innovative approach seeks to prevent substrate damage while ensuring effective layer removal through the use of new stripping agents and additives.
In 2024 the use of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) will be forbidden by REACH regulation.
Many studies have been carried out to replace Cr(VI)-based coatings for lightweight metals such as aluminium and have resulted in the development of new protective layers (SAA, TSA, Cr(III)-conversion coating).
However, the removal of protective oxide layers is still performed with Cr(VI)-based stripping processes.
Cr(VI)-free stripping with NaOH leads to deterioration of the substrate if the process time exce…
