Ecomass® Compounds and Products

Ecomass Compounds are high density, thermoplastic composite materials that can be formulated up to the density of lead (11.0 g/cc). 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 into products that effectively reduce dose without the environmental health or toxicity concerns of lead.

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, not only for radiation shielding products, but for weighting, balancing, vibration dampening, applications as well. 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.

Examples where Ecomass Compounds have been used as a replacement for traditional materials and have helped customers achieve their goals include:, x-ray tube housings, x-ray and gamma ray analyzer shielding, isotope shipping containers, lead-free shielding blankets, syringe shields, reactor shielding, pipe wrap shielding.
