Ecomass® Compounds
are nontoxic, high density, thermoplastic composite materials that
can be formulated up to the density of lead (11.0 g/cc).
These materials can be used as a lead replacement, but
unlike lead, they are completely nontoxic
and can meet some of the most demanding physical
property requirements utilizing a variety of polymers
and metal powder weighting agents. 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,
radiation shielding and vibration
dampening 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 special requirements,
contact us - we
are probably already working on a solution.
