# Ripack® complementary products updating > Ripack Supplies is updating SECURIPACK regulators and the gas tap for Ripack® shrink guns. Nickel plating is being removed in favour of a natural brass finish, without affecting operation or safety. - URL : https://ripack-supplies.com/en/ripack-complementary-products-updating/ - Mis à jour : 2024-07-04 - Langue : en-US - Auteur : Julien MARIGOT - Source : Ripack Supplies leader in heat-shrinkable products As part of our ongoing commitment **to respecting the environment and people** , we are constantly looking for ways to improve our products. Lately, we've been working, among other things, **to reduce polluting treatments.** The first parts concerned are our **SECURIPACK regulators** (all references) and our**gas tap** (248113) for our [Ripack® shrink gun](https://ripack-supplies.com/en/ripack-complementary-products/) . We are putting an **end to a chemical treatment called "nickel plating"** on these parts. Chemical nickel plating is a chemical or autocatalytic process. This purely "aesthetic" treatment for these parts requires numerous baths and numerous manipulations by operators to give our parts a "grey" colour. Our regulator and gas tap will now have **the natural colour of brass** (golden yellow). Of course, this in no way detracts from the quality of their operation or the safety they provide. ![visuel-evolution-detendeur](https://ripack-supplies.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/visuel-detendeur.jpg) There may be a transitional period for some regulator references, and the untreated parts will appear very soon. Thank you for your understanding and for passing on this information to your staff and/or end customers.
