Gravi-Tech™ polymer-metal composites are unique, high-density materials developed as effective alternatives to lead and other traditional metals. Benefits & characteristics of this high performance alternative to lead and other traditional metals An eco-conscious alternative to lead in shielding and other high-density applications

Interestingly, perfectly alternating polyketone copolymer results in a highly crystalline material that is very difficult to process. Offering a Sustainable Nylon Alternative In fact, the equilibrium moisture of PK is even lower than the long-chain nylons, making it a good alternative for moisture-rich environments.

To improve longevity in these critical components, the industry is shifting to alternatives such as spoolable reinforced thermoplastic pipe (RTP).
