PolyCase needed a material with a specific density and uniformity, essential to making projectiles that would penetrate soft and intermediate barriers reliably, but that also offered a reduced risk of ricochet when hitting a hard target such as a hardened steel plate.
And the projectiles still needed to provide the accuracy and trouble free operation of conventional lead-core ammunition.
The Avient team used their extensive knowledge and experience working with high-density polymers to develop a specialized Gravi-Tech™ high-density polymer composite that met PolyCase’s needs and fit the profile of their proprietary injection molding process.

what kind of properties you need (e.g., stretchy, hard or soft, color)
In more complex cases, the application development expert will relay your needs to material scientists, who create a specific formula and blend of materials to generate the properties you need.
In general, TPEs are recommended when you need a material that can be:

As a design engineer at a phone case company, you need to stand out from your competitors and capture consumers’ attention.
Not only do your cases need to protect expensive mobile phones from breakage, scratches, or water damage, they also must showcase style and personality.

Seats may also be adjusted more frequently throughout the day to accommodate, for example, one driver’s need to carry a surfboard or another driver’s need to transport four kids to soccer practice.
They don’t remove the need for long-term maintenance, as parts will still wear, contaminate other interior finishes, capture dirt, and corrode.
That means you can eliminate the need for a costly two-step manufacturing process to fuse or fasten parts, and also reduce overall component weight.
