| PRODUCT SUMMARY GRAVI-TECH™ DENSITY MODIFIED FORMULATIONS High-Performance Alternative to Lead and Other Traditional Metals PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Gravi-Tech™ polymer-metal composites offer a high-performance thermoplastic-based alternative to lead and other traditional dense metals.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS The primary features and benefits of Gravi-Tech formulations are: • Customized density, offering a wide range of specific gravities from 1.5 to 11 gm/cm3 • Broad modulus range, from very flexible to very rigid grades • Corrosion resistance, withstanding oxidation for long-term use and benefit • Chemical resistance, withstanding fuels, oils and other harsh chemicals Additional features include: • Design flexibility and processing ease • Good impact strength • Elevated heat deflection temperature 6 Gravi-Tech Design Guide 7 CHAPTER 2 | PROCESS SETTINGS 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.
