Hexavalent Chromium Neutralizer
HexChecksTM Neutralizer is an easy to use, cleaning solution that is designed to instantly neutralize Hexavalent Chromium (Cr +6) ion, also called HexChrome.
HexChrome can enter the industrial area through many processes such as plating, blasting, and welding operation. HexChrome is a known carcinogen and must be detected and neutralized in unwanted areas to keep your workers safe.
Apply the HexChecksT Neutralizer solution on suspect area until wet via spray, cloth, or saturation. Let stand for 10 second, then wipe. After neutralizing, use a HexChecksTM Testing Swab to verify HexChrome has been neutralized.
