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.

Gravi-Tech™ BIO Bio-Based Formulations
Gravi-Tech™ BIO bio-based formulations are density
modified engineered polymers that contain partially
bio-based resin from renewable plant sources.
Gravi-Tech BIO bio-based formulations enable visual
surface effects and aesthetics including metallic
finish, cool touch, and color variation.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Customized density offering a wide range of
specific gravities (1.5–11 gm/cm3)
• Formulated with partially bio-based resin from
renewable plant sources
• Broad modulus range, from very flexible to very
rigid grades
• Corrosion resistance that withstands oxidization
for long-term use and benefit
• Chemical resistance that can be adapted
depending on base resin as required
• Provides visual surface effects, aesthetics and
cool touch
• Design flexibility and processing ease
• Food contact compliance available
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 partially bio-based resin
from renewable plant sources
• Reduces waste and supports the circular
economy
• Reduces carbon footprint compared to
fossil feedstock alternatives
• Simplifies manufacturing and lowers cost
versus metal

Challe
nge Accepted.
Therma-Tech formulations offer similar
heat transfer, dissipation, and cooling capabilities to
metals, when heat is transmitted into air.
As a
result, Elausa replaced Zamak with Therma-Tech
thermoplastics, significantly reducing part weight from
38g to 9g.
