experienced significant price inflation and
tight inventory
o Average cost of hydrocarbon based materials
was up 45% year-over-year and 20%
sequentially
o Average cost of non-hydrocarbon based
materials was up 10% year-over-year and 8%
sequentially
• Additionally, we experienced other supply
chain challenges during Q2 related to raw
material spot purchases, freight constraints
and productivity loss as a result of these
shortages

Trilliant™ HC high performance formulations were
developed for specific healthcare enclosure needs,
including:
• Chemical resistance to common disinfectants
• UL 94 ratings of 5VA at 3.0, V-0 at 1.5 mm &
V-1 at 0.75 mm
• Retained color aesthetics after chemical
exposure
• Ability to utilize existing PC/PET & COPE tooling
Tested using an adaptation from ASTM D543 for
environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR),
15 bars of each material were placed into jigs at
1% and 2% strain.
Versaflex HC grades provide:
• Resistance to common disinfectants
• Excellent bonding to Trilliant HC materials
and other engineering thermoplastics
• Customization to achieve desired haptics
and color branding
A BINDING CONNECTION

Además de los ahorros en los costos, la sustitución de
metal permitiría al productor de empaques proporcionar
a sus clientes de bebidas alcohólicas la personalización
de la densidad y el color, ya que las fórmulas de Gravi-
Tech son colorables y su peso se puede ajustar para tener
hasta 5 veces la densidad de polímeros tradicionales.
