Why XENOLITE Lead Free?

• First and only products available on the market today that are entirely lead-free, recyclable and safe for non-hazardous disposal.

• None of our core materials contain “cross-linked” or “cured” rubber or vinyl matrices.

• XENOLITE is the world’s lightest apron material offering full protection (80 kV – 120 kV).

• Lite Tech products do not contain any amount of phthalate plasticizers, latex, or heavy-metal based rubber additives and therefore comply with the EPA under RCPA regulations and with European “WEEE” legislation.
