Able to remove up to 60 percent in weight versus metal, this composite material can be tailored to meet an application's needs.

In addition to its non-halogen formulation, the regulatory-compliant Maxxam solution has a lower density than traditional materials, which reduces material consumption and housing weight for greater production efficiency.

Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation

The team will focus on improvements such as light-weighting and metal replacement, sound and vibration dampening, non-lead alternatives, ergonomics, and aesthetics.

For example, Gravi-Tech formulations impart weight, sound and a metallic finish to caps and closures for both cosmetics and spirits applications, while removing the secondary operations and constraints that traditional metals require.

For example, biobased polymers help automotive manufacturers achieve their desire for lighter weight parts that still deliver superior performance.
