In recent years, functional chrome plating has come under enormous pressure from the environmental agencies in North America and Europe to limit the discharge of certain substances such as chromic acid and PFOS/PFAS fume suppressants.

With Fumalock® Atotech has developed a fume suppressing process for functional hard chrome which is easier to control, operate and can comply with non-PFOS and non-PFAS legislation and directives. Fumalock® provides effective reduction of chromic acid mist during the plating operation, facilitates a safer working environment and can reduce the possibility of contaminating peripherals around the plating tank by chromic acid fumes.

Fumalock® can achieve up to two times lower values of emissions compared to existing processes. Additionally, Fumalock® possesses strong resistance to hard water and excellent tolerance to metal impurities.

We would like to invite you to our first webinar on the Fumalock® process and share with you details of the process operation and benefits during a 25-minute session:

• How fume suppressants work in functional hard chrome baths
• What is Fumalock®?
• Process chemistry
• Replenishment and control
• Summary
