C<strong>on</strong>clusi<strong>on</strong><br />
� <strong>SurTec</strong> 650 chromitAL is a Cr(VI)-free alternative for the yellow<br />
passivati<strong>on</strong>.<br />
� Equal properties (corrosi<strong>on</strong> protecti<strong>on</strong>, adhesi<strong>on</strong> of paints and c<strong>on</strong>tact<br />
resistance).<br />
� The trivalent passivati<strong>on</strong> is somewhat more heat resistant.<br />
� Same pretreatment before <strong>SurTec</strong> 650 as befor Cr(VI)-c<strong>on</strong>taining<br />
passivati<strong>on</strong>s.<br />
� Approved by QPL, Qualicoat and GSB.<br />
� <strong>SurTec</strong> 650 chromitAL is used by several companies and was<br />
adopted to intern normings.<br />
� In Germany, <strong>SurTec</strong> 650 is used in 50 producti<strong>on</strong> sites.
