Why use steel for adhesive balance weights?
Trax® has pioneered the use of steel as a material for adhesive balance weights & steel is the natural choice as a balance weight material.
The best environmental solution. Easier to recycle than zinc or composites
The most widely used automotive material
The most ecological solution. Easy on the environment & non-toxic
The best balance weight accuracy – more dense than zinc or composites
A more stable price as it is not a traded commodity (unlike zinc)
Steel balance weights are used almost exclusively by car manufacturers in the USA (since 2009) with Japan using steel since 1999. Steel was preferred over zinc and composite materials as it is considered the most suitable lead-free material available when considering recyclability, ecology (groundwater), density and cost. Steel (or iron) adhesive weights are used by Ford, Volvo, Land Rover, Renault, Honda, & Toyota.
