I understand that copper foils are protected with chromates
(Cr6) prior to producing laminate. Since this is an RoHS
banned substance I need to understand why all my laminate
suppliers have certified their material to be RoHS
compliant.

One supplier responded by stating that Cr6 is reduced to a
state of Cr3 or Cr0 which is not a restricted substance.

Can somebody explain how it goes from a state of Cr6 to one
of the reduced states and why sometimes Cr3 versus Cr0?


Thank you,
Eddie Rocha
