New Technology for CBPM’s Plate Making

Many countries and regions are strengthening regulations to control environmental pollutants, chromium being a case in point as its emissions significantly impact the environment and human health. As a result, numerous countries have implemented strict standards and control measures to reduce chromium pollution.

These countries include China, where the government has enacted relevant regulations and standards to limit chromium emissions and usage while encouraging enterprises to adopt more environmentally friendly production processes and technologies.

This is the context for the introduction of the PVD plate equipment CBDE-Neochro, developed by China Banknote Designing and Engraving Co (CBDE), a subsidiary of China Banknote Printing and Minting (CBPM).

The technology utilises environmentally friendly PVD chromium plating techniques, which prevent the potential pollution issues associated with chromiumcontaining wastewater and acid mist that arise from traditional chromium electroplating processes. The PVD technology also enhances product lifespan as well as contributing to environmental protection and human health.
