Addressing the Chromium VI directive

Chromium VI is a soluble form of Chromium found in cement and other materials including mortars. As it can cause dermatitis, a new European Directive requires that the Chromium VI content of cement based preparations can't exceed two parts per million.

 

The new legislation means finding practical, innovative solutions to its demands. And as we're at the forefront of the cement industry, we’ve done exactly that.

To protect against dermatitis, a shelf life will be imposed on cement and fresh cement based products. Rapid turnover becomes crucial and our ready-to-use mortars are an ideal way to address this. Available in a number of different delivery method's, they're also practical enough to meet the needs of your site.
