GRAVI-TECH™
Density Modified Formulations
Gravi-Tech™ polymer-metal composites are high-density materials developed as thermoplastic-based
alternatives to lead and other traditional metals.
These materials have been formulated using select metallic
fillers and engineered thermoplastic resins to have densities similar to actual metals, while also providing the
design flexibility and processing ease of conventional thermoplastics.
