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.
VALUE SOLUTION
Improve safety and reduce costs with
Gravi-Tech formulations
When Gravi-Tech polymer metal composites are
substituted for lead, manufacturers can avoid
the regulatory, disposal and employee exposure
challenges associated with lead.
Several grades
of Gravi-Tech composites used for radiation-
shielding applications provide protections similar
to traditional lead-based materials, yet these
Gravi-Tech polymer-metal composites are 37
percent lighter.

Orion Shines Even More Brightly with PolyOne Therma-Tech™ Conductive Polymer
Replacing metal with PolyOne Therma-Tech™ conductive polymer enables Sylumis to manufacture the lamps more efficiently and with even more innovative designs.
The Therma-Tech conductive formulation selected for these LED lamps outperforms aluminum, the material traditionally used in heat sinks, with a 25% increase in heat exchange surface area and a 9% reduction in weight.

Therma-Tech™
Therma-Tech™ Thermally Conductive Formulations have been engineered to combine the heat transfer
and cooling capabilities of metals with the design freedom, weight reduction and cost advantages of
thermoplastics.
Therma-Tech formulations have been shown
to improve thermal conductivity by 50-100 times that of conventional plastics and can be used in a wide
range of thermal management applications.
