What is white trivalent passivate my uk customer specifies zinc plate white trivalent passivate?

[Edit]

Trivalent Passivates

A 'trivalent passivate' is a 'conversion coating' applied to a zinc surface. It is called a 'conversion coating' because it converts the zinc to a coating comprising zinc and trivalent chromium salts. These products and processes have been developed in response to End-of-Life-Vehicle requirements in Europe and Restrictions on Hazardous Substances (RoHS). Their performance is inferior to classical hexavalent chromates and they are more expensive to apply.
