Ecomass – Offering Exceptional Lead

Replacement Compounds!

For years scientists,

medical experts and

researchers have

understood that lead and

other kinds of toxins

when exposed to the

atmosphere or a water

supply are hazardous to

human health. In fact,

with the proliferation of

technologies and the

growth in manufacturing, the human exposure to toxins and chemicals has

significantly increased in the last hundred years, resulting in some significant

health risks. Lead has immense negative effects on the operation of different

systems inside the human body. Higher levels of exposure it could be fatal and in

lower levels it can slowly poison your body, leading to significant long-term health

concerns.

Lead can be found in several common household products. Lead is prevalent in

antique jewelry, crystal, plastic toys, pottery and ceramic glazes. It has also

contaminated water supplies, especially where there’s industrial waste pollution

from insecticides or pesticides. Exposure to lead in the atmosphere is extremely

problematic as once this metal stored inside the body it can result in extreme

health conditions.

Workers who are exposed to lead in the work place can develop an assortment of

illness, such as gastrointestinal effects, neurological effects, anemia and kidney

aliments. As a result, employers are required to safeguard employees from

extreme lead exposure under OSHA lead standard covering shipyards,

construction and general industry. The lead standard ascertains an acceptable

exposure limitation of 50 ug/m3 of lead for eight working hours for all workers.

Workers can take action against their employer if the above mentioned rules are

broken. As such, many industries and product developers are looking for lead

replacement materials and parts so that they can avoid any lead related health

hazards to their workers and the significant regulatory costs and concerns that

accompany any use of lead in the workforce.

Take advantage of Ecomass’s unique lead replacement compounds:

Introduced in 1999, Ecomass Technologies has become the industry leader in

producing high density lead replacement plastics. Ecomass Compounds are

completely non-hazardous and are utilized as superior lead replacement

materials. Ecomass products are eco-friendly, containing absolutely no

environment pollution whatsoever. Furthermore, these thermoplastic composites

accomplish the density of lead, thus providing near identical physical properties

without any deadly concerns.

Ecomass’s injection moldable high gravity compounds are a great lead substitute

material. Most importantly these high density engineered thermoplastics can be

custom formulated and developed to meet the density and physical property

requirements of your specific application needs. Therefore Ecomass’s product can

be an ideal lead replacement material, especially for those seeking an injection

molding solution.

Ecomass’s high density specialization:

Specializing in high density and lead replacement applicaitons, Ecomass high

gravity compounds can be formulated up-to 11 g/cc and can be used in an

extensive range of applications including balancing, weighting, vibration

dampening and radiation shielding. Most importantly, all Ecomass composites

meet the RoHS instruction, are hundred percent lead free, and don’t contain any

harmful materials.
