Colorant and additive masterbatches created with virgin resin, however, means a package does not reach the full 100% PCR goal.  Replaces virgin resin, reducing total energy consumption and limiting emissions* Add antistatic and UV protection to products built from biodegradable resins.

The problems arose where two clear resins were being blended at the press. Switching from two blended resins to a single material delivered several key benefits to the manufacturer, including:

The first, Gravi-Tech™ REC Recycled Formulations, is based on recycled resin and/or filler from post-industrial recycled (PIR) and/or post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources. The second, Gravi-Tech™ BIO Bio-based Formulations, contains bio-based resin from renewable plant sources. Formulated using engineered thermoplastic resins and select metallic fillers, they offer densities similar to traditional metals while providing design and processing flexibility.

Their suitability spans various resins from polyolefins and styrenics to engineering resins. For use across a wide range of resins Colorants and Additives for Recycled Resins E&E Applications

Bio-derived dispersions of PVC resins Phthalate-free dispersions of PVC resins Liquid at room temperature, these customized resins can also be toll blended for any application

Performance advantages: • High dielectric strength: composite material is custom formulated to optimize electrical properties resulting in exceptional insulation • Lightweight: insulators are up to 80% lighter than porcelain and utility poles are more than 50% lighter than wood equivalents • High strength: high tensile, compressive, flexural and inter-laminar shear strength to support various design configurations and line loads • Resilient: deflect and return to original shape for structural damping to minimize damages and outages • Durable: insulators are durable and shatter resistant vs. ceramic and glass; composite utility poles are UV corrosion resistant for a long service life Arrestors Electrical Transmission & Distribution Applications COMPONENT DESCRIPTION SIZES Insulators for transmission and distribution Suspension insulators Epoxy/glass fiber rods 0.625" to 1.25" diameter Line post and station post insulators Epoxy/glass fiber rods 1.50" to 4.74" diameter Arresters Cage type Polyester or vinyl ester/glass fiber rods 0.125" to 0.50" diameter Custom tubular Polyester, vinyl ester or epoxy/ glass fiber custom shapes 2.0" to 6.0" envelope size Pole line construction Conductor standoff and equipment support arms Polyester/glass fiber rods 1.50" to 2.00" diameter Guy strain insulators Polyester/glass fiber rods 0.50" to 0.812" diameter Cross arms Tangent and deadend, support braces Polyester/glass fiber rectangular tubes 3.62" x 4.62" and 4.0" x 6.0" rectangular Utility poles GridCore™ Composite Utility Poles Polyester/glass fiber hollow custom tubes 12" to 14" diameter, typical lengths from 35' to 75' Pole line construction, cross arms, rods, and utility poles feature an integral fabric surfacing veil for long-term weather resistance and retention of properties.

Traditional GRP is composed of high strength E-glass fibers impregnated with a variety of specialized proprietary resins. Our resin chemistry is optimized for process conditions, fiber adhesion, and end-use application of the FRP. Common resins include MDPE, HDPE, PVDF, PVC and Nylon.
