Good morning
I would appreciate some help with this phrase in a text about a Spanish's company's involvement with nanotechnology and its applications.
XXX cuenta con un sinfín de actividades, pero su negocio principal se focaliza en la generación de aplicaciones para la mejora del plástico. Desarrolla un novedoso proceso de metalizado de plástico que sustituye al actual y que evita la utilización del cromo hexavalente, una sustancia altamente tóxica y cancerígena. El proyecto denominado XXXXXX no sólo consiste en esa eliminación de sustancias tóxicas sino que, además, permite metalizar plásticos a menor coste que los convencionales.
My effort:
XXX has an endless list of activities, but its main business is centred on creating applications to improve plastics. It is developing a very new process of coating plastic with metal which is replacing the present method. This avoids the use of hexavalent chromium, a highly toxic and carcinogenic substance. The XXXX project not only consists of eliminating toxic substances, but also allows plastics to be coated in metal at a lower cost than conventional plastics.
Thank you!

Note from asker:
| Thank you! Must have had an innate aversion to this word, don't know why!! Also, UK English = metallisation. Although this text is to be reviewed by an American:) Odd the client doesn't ask an American to do the translation? Maybe it's economics. |
