Ecomass® Compounds are
high density, thermoplastic composite materials that can be formulated up to the
density of lead (11.0 g/cc). But unlike lead, these compounds
are completely nontoxic and can meet some of the most demanding
physical property requirements utilizing a variety of polymers and
metal powder fillers. Ecomass Compounds
meet the EU RoHS Directive and are completely lead-free
(Pb-Free). Best of all, Ecomass Compounds
can be injection molded, compression molded, and extruded on
conventional equipment.
Over one hundred Ecomass
Compounds ranging in density from 2 g/cc to 11 g/cc are commercially available from Ecomass Technologies and
compounds are continually being developed for weighting, balancing, vibration
dampening, and radiation shielding products. To date, Ecomass
Compounds have been used as a replacement or substitute for aluminum, steel, stainless steel, brass, bronze, copper,
lead, and tungsten in a variety of applications. Physical Properties and Material Safety Data Sheets for many of our standard
products appear on the Products
Page.
In almost any application where a high density
material is required, Ecomass Compounds can be
used without the environmental health or toxicity
concerns of lead. A variety of examples where
Ecomass Compounds have been used as a lead replacement
and have helped customers achieve their goals
can be found on the Case
Studies page. If you have a special requirement,
contact us - we
are probably already working on a solution.
