Hard Anodising Surface Treatments Ltd Secures Long-Term Chromium Trioxide Authorisation

Hard Anodising Surface Treatments Ltd has been granted authorisation to continue using chromium trioxide for the next 12 years, making it one of only a select few companies in the UK to receive this approval.

This enables Hard Anodising Surface Treatments to continue providing chromium trioxide-based surface treatments for engineering components—particularly within the aerospace and defence sectors—to achieve critical performance characteristics through:

           Chromic acid anodising

           Chromate conversion coating

           Passivation of metals

           Sealing after anodising

This authorisation is valid until 19th February 2037, ensuring long-term consistency and compliance for customers' high-specification needs.
