Metal Framing & Cable Tray — Superstrut
®
Metal Framing System
Overview
Thomas & Betts is proud to introduce the new and improved
Trivalent GoldGalv
®
finish. GoldGalv
®
finish is a combination
of .5 mils electro-plated zinc and a gold Trivalent Chromium finish.
New Trivalent GoldGalv
®
Finish Is RoHS Compliant
• Gold Trivalent Chromium Finish — The new GoldGalv
®
finish features
a Trivalent Chromium formulation that provides all the features and
protection of Hexavalent Chromium (CR VI) without the use of this
chemical compound. Hexavalent Chromium is restricted by some
standards such as the European Union directive on the restriction of
the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic
equipment (RoHS).
• RoHS Compliant — One great feature for the new Trivalent
Chromium formulation is RoHS compliance. Because Hexavalent
Chromium is a substance that is restricted by RoHS, moving away
from a Hexavalent formulation to the new Trivalent formulation will
make the performance of GoldGalv
®
coating available to customers
affected by RoHS and other standards like RoHS around the world.
• Trivalent GoldGalv
®
Finish Is OSHA Safe — The Hexavalent
formulation of the GoldGalv
®
finish is safe with regard to the revised 2006 OSHA standard. This new Trivalent
formulation of the GoldGalv
®
finish does not contain any Hexavalent Chromium and therefore does not fall under
the scope of the OSHA standard at all. As a result, the new Trivalent GoldGalv
®
finish, just like the Hexavalent
GoldGalv
®
finish, is OSHA compliant.
• ASTM B633 Specification — The improved GoldGalv
®
finish is applied in compliance with ASTM B633 coating,
the same standard as used previously. This standard outlines electro-deposited coatings of zinc on steel.
