Balancing Applications for Ecomass® Compounds
- Golf Clubs
- Inertia Discs
- Return Weights
Ecomass Compounds are used as injection molded balancing weights in high-end golf clubs. These weights, which are produced in 1 gram increments, allow the shaft and club head to be perfectly balanced and, due to the polymer selected for these compounds, dampen the vibration transmitted up the shaft.
Small flywheels, also known as inertia discs, are an excellent application for Ecomass Compounds. Many electric and electronic devices use steel or lead inertia discs which can result in corrosion issues and if these products contain lead, they can not be sold in the European Union. Ecomass Compounds at 10 g/cc provide the necessary weight with a minimum part size.
Ecomass Compounds are used as return weights for kitchen faucets with pullout spouts. Previously, these weights were made of lead or die cast zinc. But a specially formulated injection molding grade Ecomass Compound weight replaced these traditional materials resulting in a superior product at a lower cost. |
