Traditional TPE types are known as two-phase systems.
To get an accurate reading you must have a flat part surface, as well as sufficient part thickness to prevent the support surface from affecting the result.
It is this chemical cross-linking that is the principal difference between thermoset and thermoplastic systems.

Broadly recognized for their chemical inertness, thermal stability, hydrophobicity, low surface energy, and low coefficient of friction (CoF), making them useful in many applications.
With this approach, however, questions can remain regarding future regulations and the availability of alternative compounds as they could become restricted.
This approach removes uncertainty regarding the future state of potentially stronger regulations and market pressures.

Gravi-Tech REC recycled grades enable visual
surface effects and aesthetics including metallic
finish, cool touch and color variation, suitable for
applications in packaging and consumer goods such
as cosmetic caps and closures, perfume caps, spirit
bottle caps and luxury boxes.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Customized density offering a wide range of
specific gravities (1.2–11 gm/cm3)
• Based on recycled resin from PIR and PCR
sources
• Broad modulus range, from very flexible to very
rigid grades
• Corrosion resistance that withstands oxidization
for long-term use and benefit
• Chemical resistance can be adapted depending
on base resin as required
• Provides visual surface effects, aesthetics, and
cool touch
• Design flexibility and processing ease
MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS
Applications in packaging and consumer goods in
which a more sustainable solution is preferred:
• Cosmetic caps and closures
• Perfume caps
• Spirit bottle caps
• Luxury boxes
• Handles and knobs
SUSTAINABILITY BENEFITS
• Formulated with recycled resin from
post-industrial recycled (PIR) and/or
post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources including
ocean bound plastic waste
• Reduces waste and supports the circular
economy
• Reduces carbon footprint compared to fossil
feedstock alternatives
• Simplifies manufacturing and lowers costs
versus metal
