Our new innovation in the spotlight: VisioKrom® colored additive

Among the new products presented at the Paris Air Show, VisioKrom® was the star of our stand. Our innovative solution, developed over the last five years in our laboratories in Pessac, meets a crucial need: to make colourless anti-corrosion treatments visible and traceable. These are now used to replace yellow chromium VI treatments, which have been banned for ecological and health reasons.
VisioKrom® is a coloured additive added directly to existing treatment baths. On application, the part takes on a slight visible coloured tint, guaranteeing immediate visual verification of the entire treated surface, without altering anti-corrosion performance, conductivity or compliance with environmental and health standards.
This patented technology, already validated on an industrial scale by Thales DMS, SECO (Aegis Plating) and L'Electrolyse, was officially launched at the show. It represents a major step forward for the aerospace, defence, rail, automotive and industrial maintenance industries, enabling greater traceability, fewer rework operations and optimised quality control.
On the stand, VisioKrom® attracted the attention of a large number of manufacturers, who were won over by its ease of use and tangible benefits: productivity gains, process security and ease of inspection. This enthusiasm reinforces our position as a pioneer in intelligent materials and non-destructive testing, and paves the way for large-scale deployment after the show.
