Built to suit the needs of DoD maintenance, repair, and overhaul operations, Hex Checks are designed to be carried everywhere and anywhere that Hex Chrome dust might travel. HexChecks have been designed to provide visual confirmation of Hexavalent Chromium, turning a pink to purple color when meeting Hex Chrome. The darker the color, the higher the concentration.
