Faraday honored with 2013 Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award

Faraday and a supporting team that includes The Boeing Company, United Technologies Research Corporation, UTC Aerospace, Messier-Bugatti-Dowty, Advanced Tooling Corp, and the National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS) won a 2013 Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award for its Trivalent Chromium Electroplating technology. This work was funded by the U.S. EPA through the SBIR program, NCMS through the Commercial Technologies for Maintenance Applications (CTMA) program, and commercial clients.

Faraday’s Trivalent Chromium Electroplating Process enables the deposition of thick, hard functional chrome from a trivalent bath. This technology will replace hexavalent chromium plating.
