Why Magnesium?
Environmental Sustainability
Magnesium metal molding is friendly to both the user and the environment. G-Mag™ International is a “green” company that values the environmental advantages of the magnesium metal molding process to preserve our air, our water, and our earth for generations to come.
The magnesium metal molding process respects the environment
- No ozone depleting gases such as SF6 (sulfur hexoflouride) are used, produced, or released into the air, so there is no “greenhouse effect”
- There are no landfill concerns because there is no solid waster residue
- No dross or slag is generated
- Magnesium used in this process has excellent recyclibility
- Because there is no foundry (the entire process takes place in a closed machine), workers are not exposed to molten metals
- Utility costs to run metal molding equipment are lower than other metal forming processes
