SAFETY & COMPLIANCE
At VES, safety isn't just our priority -
it's our obsession.
Every remediation solution we engineer is built to protect operators, support compliance, and perform in demanding military and commercial environments.
Our remediation offerings include Hex Buster™ products, Tempest Category II air showers available via NSN, containerized decontamination units, and large scale abatement solutions for facilities of any size. These solutions are designed to meet TO 1-1-8 requirements for military partners while also helping commercial facilities comply with applicable state, local, industry, safety, and environmental regulations.
Hex Buster™ is designed to eliminate hazardous hexavalent chromium dust generated during blasting, sanding, and painting operations. By helping reduce contaminant transfer to other areas, personnel, and equipment, Hex Buster supports safer work environments where exposure control matters.
At the same time, VES continues to engineer systems that reduce hazardous dust at the source. From dust mitigation improvements built into our equipment to effective contamination control products, VES remediation solutions deliver mission critical protection in environments where safety cannot be compromised.

DETECTION TO REMEDIATION
A Smarter Approach to CR(VI) Control
A clear process from identifying contamination to neutralizing the hazard.
The Hidden Killer In Your Workplace Just Met Its Match
Every day, workers across industries face an invisible threat that traditional safety measures can't truly stop. Hexavalent Chromium, CR(VI), a proven carcinogen lurking in welding fumes, coatings, primers, plating operations, and countless industrial processes. While others focus on containing this deadly contaminant, we asked a different question:
What if we could make it harmless instead?
The Hex Buster™ Revolution: From Deadly to Harmless in Minutes
Traditional approaches to CR(VI) only push the problem around—containment systems, disposal protocols, protective equipment. They reduce exposure, but the underlying danger remains, waiting to strike when containment fails.
HEX Buster™ Takes A Fundamentally Different Approach
BREAKTHROUGH SCIENCE: Our advanced ascorbic acid-based technology doesn't just capture Hexavalent Chromium—it permanently converts it into Trivalent Chromium [Cr(III)], a stable, non-hazardous form that occurs naturally in the environment.
PROVEN RESULTS: Independent laboratory testing confirms what our customers already know: Hex Buster products achieve greater than 99% reduction of Cr(VI). Not containment. Not reduction. Elimination.
COMPREHENSIVE PROTECTION: From our flagship Hex Buster Solution to everyday workplace essentials—degreasers, hand soap, laundry detergent, absorbents, and more—every product in our Hex Buster™ family shares one mission: neutralizing Cr(VI) at its source.
Why Elimination Beats Containment Every Time
Traditional Method: Capture dangerous CR(VI) → Store it → Transport it → Dispose of it → Hope containment never fails
Hex Buster™ Method: Convert dangerous CR(VI) → Into harmless CR(III) → Problem solved permanently
The Science You Can Trust
Trivalent Chromium isn't just safe—it's actually considered an essential nutrient in trace amounts. By converting the carcinogenic CR(VI) into this naturally occurring, stable form, Hex Buster™ doesn't just eliminate the hazard—it creates something the environment can safely process.
Complete Protection for Every Application
- Industrial Operations: Neutralize CR(VI) in welding, plating, and coating processes
- Maintenance & Cleanup: Convert contaminated surfaces to safe zones
- Personal Protection: Hand soaps and detergents that eliminate exposure during cleanup
- Emergency Response: Absorbents that neutralize spills while containing them
Built For The Real World
We know that compliance, safety, and sustainability aren't competing priorities—they're essential partners. Every Hex Buster product is engineered to deliver practical, reliable protection that:
- Eliminates risk instead of managing it
- Safeguards workers without complex procedures
- Supports genuinely cleaner operations
- Provides peace of mind that containment never can
