CS Unitec's Aluminum Bronze Round Shovel is non-sparking, non-magnetic, and corrosion resistant. Our safety hand tools are manufactured from special Aluminum-Bronze or Copper-Beryllium alloys for safe use in Ex zones where hazardous, flammable or combustible vapors, liquids, dusts or residues may be present. Our line of safety tools comply with ATEX Directives for Ex Zones 0, 1 and 2 (Flammable Gas, Mists or Vapors); Zones 20, 21 and 22 (Combustible Dusts); and M1 and M2 for mining. Appropriate applications include oil drilling platforms, petrochemical plants, oil refineries, natural gas installations, ammunition plants, varnish factories, sugar refineries, grain silos, mining and other industries where non-sparking safety tools are required. The non-magnetic feature of these alloys also makes them ideal for working on special machinery with powerful magnets such as MRI machines, military de-mining and explosives. CS Unitec's safety tools are drop forged for the highest quality in hand tools. Our Safety Tools are continuously spark-proof tested according to strict test procedure (CST Test). Because of the heat treatment processes, our Copper-Beryllium Tools (CuBe2) have a Rockwell C hardness of 38 HRC. CS Unitec Aluminum-Bronze Tools have a Rockwell C Hardness of 27 HRC.
