With constant efforts towards innovation, Ecomass Technologies has specialized in developing and producing high density plastics that are more effective and safer than lead, the traditional giant of high density materials. These nontoxic high density material solutions have proven to be highly beneficial to part makers in a wide range of applications, most notably vibration dampening. Ecomass materials are very versatile, but when it comes to vibration dampening, they are able to deliver materials that are both high in density and soft, an ideal combination for this particular application.

Austin: Ecomass is in the news for its innovative compounds that deliver lead-free thermoplastic solutions for vibration damping applications. These versatile material solutions have resulted in improved performance and increased service life in several direct customer-contact products.

For any material to act as a feasible vibration dampening solution, it needs to be soft and dense. With this in mind, Ecomass Technologies has applied its material expertise to produce high density materials as per the requirements of any customer-specific vibration dampening application.

Ecomass can choose from a wide range of plastic base resins and metallic fillers which they can adjust depending on the customer-specific requirements. One such example of a nontoxic compound for vibration dampening applications is made up of stainless steel and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). It boast a density level of 3.4 g/cc and ensure admirable toughness along with flexible molding grade.

Also known as high gravity compounds, these lead free compounds are in use in aircraft audio headphones to reduce external noise and to improve the quality of reception. The high density plastics, molded into golf club weights, are installed in wedges and woods to improve swing and ball-striking performance while dampening vibrations passed via the shaft.

In case of a transmission shifter, the operators of automobiles truly admire the reduced vibration, which is achieved via a sliding cartridge over the shifter rod produced from Ecomass high density compounds. According to a spokesperson, “A robust, virtually vibration-free experience through a direct customer-contact device certainly adds value to an assortment of consumer products. Depending upon the application, our technical team picks an appropriate soft base resin and adjusts the filler to allow the newly developed material to fulfill the density needs at the most efficient cost point.”
