MT2 Firing Range Services - Metals Treatment Technologies is an American LLC, based in Arvada, Colorado that provides environmental firing range services, and lead remediation services. Founded August 4, 2000 the company seeks to continue development, distribute, and deploy heavy metals treatment technologies for firing ranges and at contaminated sites. The proprietary technology for those is implemented under the brand name ECOBOND. MT2 is listed as a technology vendor on the EPA website for contaminated site Cleanup-Information, as well as the Interstate Technology and Regulatory Council's "Technical/Regulatory Guidelines, Characterization and Remediation of Soils at Closed Small Arms Firing Ranges."
The services provided by MT2 include:
MT2, LLC distributes several versions of its product ECOBOND under the U.S. Patents: US 7314512 B2 and US 6984769 B2. These patents cover the treatment of surfaces to stabilize heavy metals. This includes more specifically, a paint stripper additive, a paint that can support the non-hazardous removal of lead-based paint, as well as a QuickCoat paint that provides a latex barrier for non-removal purposes.

EcoBond

The metals treatment technology process used by MT2 includes chemical treatment processes for the remediation of heavy metals. This treatment is achieved via MT2's process under the brand name ECOBOND. The product chemically changes the heavy metal making it less leechable and subsequently substantially less hazardous to the environment as well becoming safer to work with.

Recent national bullet shortages have resulted in higher prices for consumers, and lower ammunition availability for the military. This need has provided a significant market for MT2. There is an estimated 15 years worth of lead bullets in the ground in American shooting ranges, waiting to be extracted. In 2007 MT2 extracted 560,000 pounds of the heavy metal.
