Since September 2017 ALBEA is applying only Chrom6-free processes. For parts up to length of 3000 mm a dipping bath is installed with a passivation containing Chrom3 (SURTEC 650), which is according RoHS- and REACH-regulations, mainly for parts which are used in electronic components. In addition this treatment can also be used before a powder or liquid coating. For more than 10 years ALBEA is using a chromium-free NoRinse-System (NABUTAN 310) in its own powder coating line. In here mainly aluminium parts are coated for architectural applications.
