The future of drinking water safety starts now: From 2027, stricter hygiene rules will come into force with the new EU Drinking Water Directive. Use of brass alloys containing lead, which are no longer permitted in future, will be particularly affected. Already today, EMS-GRIVORY provides high-performance alternatives – approved, reliable and up to 65% cheaper than brass.
The specially developed products Grivory FWA and Grilamid FWA already meet the requirements of DWD 2020/2184. This means that brass components can be completely replaced and non-compliant thermoplastics can be substituted without any problems. In the case of brass, cost savings of up to 65% can be achieved thanks to significantly lower volume costs and the elimination of costly post-treatment processes. EMS application technology supports customers with cost calculation and uses comprehensive CAE simulations to show which design adjustments and functional integration provide potential for additional savings.
