Product catalog summary

Lead-Free Copper Material for Drinking Water Installations

Introduction: The document introduces Ecocast®, a lead-free copper material (CuZn21Si3P) offered by KS Gleitlager under license from Wieland-Werke AG. This material is designed for the sanitary and fittings industry and complies with the EC Drinking Water Directive (98/83/EC).

Specifications: Ecocast® meets the recommendations of the German Federal Environmental Agency and the Drinking Water Ordinance as per DIN 50930-6 (2013). It is produced using continuous casting, which provides better processing properties compared to extrusion, such as lower strength and hardness, and a low gamma phase percentage of ≤ 1%.

Mechanical Properties: The material exhibits a minimum tensile strength (Rm) of 420 N/mm², a yield strength (Rp 0.2) of 140 N/mm², an elongation at break (A) of 20%, and a Brinell hardness (HB 10/1000) of 80. These properties make it suitable for cold forming applications like press fittings.

Corrosion Resistance: Ecocast® is presented as an equivalent alternative to other materials like Ecobrass® or Cuphin® due to its corrosion resistance.

Available Dimensions: The material is available in various forms and sizes, including solid rods (Ø 21 – 465 mm), hollow rods (Ø 21 – 504 mm), squares (6 x 20 mm to 270 x 400 mm), hexagonal bars (SW 21 – 152 mm), and octagonal bars (SW 21 – 152 mm). Other dimensions can be requested.
