QTI Copper Titanium Non Sparking Tools

Prevent Fire Hazards use QTi Copper Titanium Non Sparking Safety Tools:

As you are aware that use of Non-sparking tools is mandatory to provide protection against fires and explosions in environments where there is a possibility of sparks igniting flammable solvents, gases, vapors, liquids, dusts or residues. 

Copper Beryllium (Cu-Be) is an extremely hazardous alloy due to the toxicity associated with Beryllium. Use of Cu-Be hand tools or other parts, constantly exposes employees and contractors to a severe and often fatal lung disease caused by exposure to Beryllium. Many countries are thus severely curtailing use of Cu-Be or completely banning it. Due to the above reasons, some users have adopted Aluminium Bronze (Al-Br) as the preferred alternative for non-sparking tools.

However, Al-Br is a very weak material having strength of about 60% of Cu-Be. These tools thus break very frequently leading to high consumption and risk of injury to the user. Cu-Ti alloys – being introduced by us as QTi® is an excellent replacement for Copper Beryllium, and Pahwa MetalTech are manufacturing the alloy for several applications in which Copper Beryllium is currently used.
