Can Ecomass Compounds be used to replace lead and other heavy metals in all applications?
The primary formulation of Ecomass Compounds is a tungsten / polymer composite. As such, for many of the applications that rely on the chemical properties of lead or other metals (such as automobile batteries), Ecomass Compounds would not be a suitable alternative. However, the physical properties of Ecomass Compounds are superior to lead in almost all aspects. For radiation shielding applications and weighting or balancing applications where large volumes of close tolerance parts are required, Ecomass Compounds can be a smart, environmentally friendly, cost effective solution.
