Environmental Data

Granta's aim is to enable a rational and well-informed response to eco challenges. Such an approach must be underpinned by the right data. Granta's Eco Data Series is a unique source of such data, drawn from or estimated using the best sources currently available.

Data module Datasheets Content summary Attributes and properties
3,500
Part of the MaterialUniverse product—complete, normalized, generic datasheets allowing comparison and selection for metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, and natural materials
Eco properties include: Geo-economic, production energy and emissions, processing energy, end of life, bio-data and sustainability. MaterialUniverse also provides physical, cost, mechanical, thermal, electrical, optical, durability properties
6,000+ substance records

60+ national & international regulations
Linked data on restricted substances and the legislation that affects them
Each substance record provides general information on the substance plus links to records on legislation that impacts it.

Each legislation record describes the regulation and links to records for affected substances.
> 100
A reference source for coatings and a tool to support decisions relating to coatings. Coating categories include anodize, corrosion inhibitor, conversion coating, electro/electroless plating.
Each record provides over 60 well-referenced technical, restricted substance, substitution, cost, and other information. Fully linked with the Restricted Substances data module.
67 elements

Links to 3,500 MaterialUniverse materials
A reference source that enables you to identify and understand supply risk for the materials used in your organization based on factors such as geopolitical risk, physical scarcity, co-production risk, conflict mineral risk, and price volatility.
Supply risk data for 67 key elements, for example, including rare earths. Elements are linked to any of around 3,500 materials in which they can be found, enabling you to identify at-risk materials.

The MaterialUniverse data module can be accessed through the GRANTA MI materials information management system (for enterprise-wide access and use) or CES Selector software (for rational materials and process selection). It is particularly suited to supporting materials selection and substitution studies within CES Selector.

The Restricted Substances and Coatings data modules are designed for use with the GRANTA MI:Restricted Substances solution. The Critical Materials data module can also be accessed within GRANTA MI.
