The effect of copper – CuTouch protects your health
CuTouch is the new brand for a family of antimicrobial materials.
Cutouch is able to support the containment of the increasing spread of infections.
Especially antibiotic resistant germs come to be a vital threat for patients and a challenge for medical centers. The risk of spreading often derives from contact surfaces such as door handles, hand rails or something similar. Those are touched by different persons hundred times a day.
Therefore contact surfaces play a significant role in spreading diseases. Innovative copper materials offer an additional protection concerning that issue.
CuTouch has antimicrobial effects at any time and any place. Rapidly and effectively – like numerous studies have proven.
CUPHIN – the lead-free valve material made for drinking water applications
CUPHIN is the lead-free copper alloy that was especially developed for drinking water applications and still will meet the legal requirements in the next years. Today lead-freeness is possible – CUPHIN is already today the answer to tomorrow‘s material requirements.
The material is lead-free and nickel-free and meets already the legal requirements. Because of its chemical composition and its complete recyclability CUPHIN fulfils the desire of sustainability. Due to the unique combination of its technical characteristics CUPHIN ensures safety, hygiene, health and well-being as well as ecological balance.
ECOBRASS – the lead-free high-tensile brass for the automotive industry
Especially for the needs of the automotive and electronic industry as well as mechanical engineering Diehl Metall offers the lead-free material ECOBRASS, completely without any toxic additives. This means that the requirements of the future EU guidelines for old vehicles and electronic scrap are met already today.
ECOBRASS features extraordinary high strength and corrosion resistance. This material is usable for applications in mechanically and chemically corrosive stressed components.
The alloy-family TEC.PURE comprises innovative, lead-free and wear resistant brass materials. These materials are especially used for components with high working temperature or at a lubrication system failure.
The automotive industry is the typical industrial application for components such as valve guides or synchronizer rings.
ECOMERICA - low-leaded brass alloys for drinking water applications according to US-legislation
Drinking Water is essential for our daily life - the basis for our health. For this reason, materials that come into contact with drinking water have to meet ever increasing stricter regulations. In the USA the lead content of drinking water conducting components has to be lower than 0,25 % in the weighted average. This regulation is currently valid for the states of California and Vermont - and beginning January 2014 for the entire United States of America.
Due to a maximum lead content of 0,2 % brass alloys of the brand ECOMERICA for drinking water applications - tubes, fittings, valves and other drinking water conducting components - already meet the US-regulations.
Our lead-free and low-leaded copper alloys are applied in a variety of applications in the mega trend mobility.
The lead-free and low-leaded copper alloys by Diehl Metall effectively support a pure drinking water supply in the mega trend water.
In the mega trend green technologies our lead-free and low-leaded copper alloys save the scarce resources.
