Removing chromium 6

Safety is our top priority. To minimize risks to people and the environment, we adhere to the current safety regulations when removing paint layers containing Chromium 6. These safety requirements are extensively outlined in the management regime of Rijkswaterstaat. SealteQ contributed as an expert to this management regime. It states, among other things, that current paint removal techniques, such as the use of blasting grit and induction, meet the requirements, provided the additional rules of the management regime are followed.

Extensive Experience in Removing Chromium 6

Over the years, SealteQ has gained extensive experience in the safe removal of Chromium 6 paint layers. We have removed coatings from concrete and paint from the lighthouses of Vlieland and Scheveningen, the platform roofs of the stations in Leeuwarden and Groningen, and various tunnels and bridges in the Netherlands. Additionally, we removed paint layers at several locations on the southern ring road in Groningen, commissioned by Combinatie Herepoort.

Different circumstances require customized solutions. Since the ban on the use of Chromium 6, we have shared our experiences with Rijkswaterstaat, among others. We test with them and provide results that form the basis of the management regime. It consistently shows that we can remove paint layers containing Chromium 6 in a conventional manner, with additional safety requirements, and that expensive, newly developed removal methods are not necessary.
