They can reduce environmental impact
compared to traditional carbon black formulations,
allowing the use of less energy and water during
the manufacturing process and thereby helping
to reduce product carbon footprint (PCF).

When bonded to the
metal, the polymer core mimics a natural disc, absorbing impact and shock while
bearing mechanical stresses from the vertebrae.
