SurTec, a leader in the development of chromium (VI) replacements. SurTec will present the latest technologies for the automotive industry reaching from high-performance industrial cleaning systems over best-in-class bare metal corrosion protection to high-quality decorative layers on a chromium (III) basis at the expo. With 25 years of expertise, recognized as a leader in this field, their novel high-quality technologies continue to evolve with the market. SurTec 883 XT is the original proprietary formulation achieving identical color values to standard chromium (VI) and hence perfectly suited for automotive applications, where exact colour matches are required. In addition, the SurTec 88X-family covers a comprehensive palette of aesthetically appealing chrome colours ranging from blue bright to deep dark. SurTec 650 in combination with a gasket optimally prevents corrosive seal creep age of moisture into a battery compartment and ensures low electrical contact resistance. The technology also provides electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and is hence the perfect solution for surface treatment of e.g. battery pack housings and Electronic Control Unit (ECU) housings. Due to its best-in-class bare metal corrosion protection, additional e-coating applications of the battery housing could be considered redundant.

Cleaning daily means of transportation is one of the toughest tasks and to add to the difficulty, these mostly smaller surfaces are made up of different materials, each of which requires an individual treatment. And finally, there are varying weather conditions that must be considered in the cleaning efforts: Summer and sun might require less cleaning than winter snow and slush, which makes the job especially tough. Based on these conditions, only the most efficient and ergonomic tools are suitable for the task. Vileda Professional provides the products, concepts, and training to tackle the specific needs of transport cleaning.
