Wolfram Industries Announces Triamet â–°With the European Union regulating lead and the nation recognizing its weight and toxicity, manufacturers are continually seeking safer alternatives, including high-density plastics and tungsten. Tungsten is not toxic or environmentally hazardous.

▰Wolfram Industries recently announced another tungsten based substitute:
Triamet, a heavy metal, high density, tungsten-based alloy, which absorbs radiation and shields against gamma radiation. Because tungsten is heavy and dense, it’s appropriate for shielding against high-energy electromagnetic radiation. Plus, Triamet’s melting point of more than 1,000°C makes sure there is little fire risk.
▰Triamet is also used in radiation therapy for tumor treatment.
Radioactive seeds delivered to a tumor and later removed during internally delivered radiation therapy can be stored in Triamet containers.

Ecomass Industries ▰Ecomass Technologies has also responded to the European union’s directive and the nation’s concerns and has helped original equipment manufacturers and material processors around the world to develop eco-friendly thermoplastic compounds that offer lightweight, toxic free radiation shielding, gamma ray shielding, and x-ray shielding ▰For years, lead was the standard in radiation shielding. It was cheap, simple, and effective. Mounting health, safety and environmental concerns, however, resulted in progressively severe environmental regulations. Ecomass employs a tungsten powder lead substitute and polymeric matrix composite to optimizes material density and wall thickness. Moreover, it is a completely lead-free, injection-moldable thermoplastic solution that satisfies all regulatory concerns and satisfies, gamma, x-ray, and radiation shielding requirements.

▰Ecomass Compounds have replaced lead in numerous radiation, x-ray, gamma, and gamma ray shielding applications, including:
industrial x-ray shielding medical x-ray shielding temporary shielding at nuclear power plants

▰Like the entire Ecomass Compound product line, Ecomass’ lead free radiation, gamma, and x-ray shielding compounds are RoHS compliant and do not contain lead, lead compounds, or any other U.S. EPA hazardous or toxic material.
