Have a proven track record
Unlike many manufacturers who are making promises of future products, GreenAlloys are available now and have an impressive track record. There are millions of pounds of low-lead and no-lead alloys in service today that are produced by Wieland Concast, all with very positive customer feedback.
Are the first of their kind
A group of alloys, which include C89831 and C89844, are produced using a patented process in which lead is replaced with bismuth to create pressure-tight plumbing fittings and fixtures. It also has excellent machinability. Wieland Concast is one of the few continuous cast foundries in the nation that produces this series of lead-free copper alloys. Started in 1891, the company's experienced and knowledgeable team is composed of some of the most skilled craftsmen working today – each being a specialist dedicated to the task of producing superior products for a diverse customer base. They continually refine the process and are always pushing toward greater improvements.
Are environmentally friendly
Wieland Concast produces a full range of regulatory-compliant GreenAlloys that have extremely low lead content, often as low as 0.05%. Lead in water-handling fixtures, especially those made of brass, can leach into drinking water in significant levels, posing a health hazard. GreenAlloys are free of the elements that impact health and the environment and still perform in the manner for which they were intended. At Wieland Concast, we manufacture a wide selection of these copper alloys in which we replace lead with other elements while still offering exceptional lubricity, tightness, wear, strength, hardness, and machinability.
Keep you ahead of the curve
The green movement is happening in nearly every industry – it's a long-term trend. Progressive companies know that consumers are demanding eco-friendly products. Even state governments are taking action. One state, with others expected to follow, passed a law declaring that no valve or fixture in the state can contain more than 0.25% lead. By choosing Wieland Concast's regulatory-compliant, lead-free copper alloys, your company will be ahead of the curve and will be recognized in doing its part in caring for the environment.
Are exceptional quality
Within GreenAlloys, lead is replaced by other elements, but the product still offers exceptional lubricity, tightness, wear, strength, hardness, and machinability. The quality of the alloys remains exceptional while the concerns surrounding the use of lead disappear. Wieland Concast remains an industry leader as the producer of GreenAlloys. In fact, we've been producing environmentally friendly products for the past fifteen years, all with far-reaching applications.
