ROHS Substances

XECO inverted mesa blanks and plated blanks are inherently RoHS compliant. XECO products use cultured high quality pure quartz which is nearly 100% SiO2. The determined levels of content of RoHS Directive listed substances and other elements tested for quartz are as follows:

Substance

Symbol

Tested Results (ppm)

Lead

Pb

Mercury

Hg

Cadmium

Cd

<1

Hexavalent chromium

Cr6+

<1

polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)

This tables below define the maximum substance content of for XECO blanks. RoHS substances are not detectable in quartz and XECO does not use any RoHS substance in production. Hexavalent Chromium is an RoHS substance, however the chromium listed below is not an RoHS listed substance as it is not Hexavalent-Chromium.

Metal Maximums are calculated using 50% coverage of each side. Actual may be lower and determined by each unique pattern. Actual maximum for each design can be determined by determining percent coverage and recalculating.
