Please contact Avient for additional information HOW GRAVI-TECH MAKES THE DIFFERENCE FOR PACKAGING CLOSURES IN THE LUXURY COSMETICS AND SPIRITS MARKETS FOR BRAND OWNERS Create a weighted closure for a luxury brand product – Gravi-Tech is a high density, injection moldable material which can be as lightweight as plastic or up to four times as heavy as aluminum. Get the look and touch of metal – With grades suitable for metalization and electroplating you can achieve the look and feel of metal FOR CONVERTERS Compete in premium markets – Gravi-Tech material’s luxury aesthetics allow plastics converters to reach new markets by competing against aluminum, zinc, iron, or steel and other alloys. Utilize existing molds – Replace current ABS solutions with low shrinkage PP grades and utilize your existing molds GT5200- 0013 GT7300- 0006 GT7300- 0010 PVD 2.0 GT5200- 0016 PVD 3.0 GT5200- 5025 GT7300- 5020 NATURAL FD GT5200- 5009 BLACK SO FD GT5200- 5044 GT5200- 5016 X2 BLACK FD GT7300- 5007 X1 WHITE FD GT7300- 5003 BLACK FD GT5200- 5003 BLACK FD GRV PP- 030-IO BLACK FD GT5200- 5068 X2 BLACK FD GT5200- 5009 X5 BLACK SO GT7300- 5021 NATURAL FD GT7300- 5003 BLACK FD GT5200- 5003 BLACK FD GRV PP- 030-IO BLACK FD CI GT5200- 5089 NATURAL C GT5200- 5082 BLACK Specific Gravity* 2 2 2 3 1.25 1.6 1.85 2 2 2.2 2.5 2.5 3 1.20 1.90 2.2 2.50 2.50 3.0 1.20 1.20 Electroplating No Yes Possibly Possibly Possibly Yes Yes Yes No Possibly Possibly Yes No Yes Yes Yes Not tested Not tested Not tested Yes Yes Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD)/Vacuum Metallization Possibly Possibly Yes Yes Possibly Possibly Possibly Possibly Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Possibly Possibly Possibly Yes Yes Yes Possibly Possibly Base Resin PP ABS ABS PP PP ABS PP PP PP ABS ABS PP PP PP PP ABS ABS PP PP rPP (ocean bound) rPP (PCR) Base Color White Black Grey Black Natural Natural Black Beige Black White Black Black Black Black Black Natural/ Beige Black Black Black Natural Black FDA Compliant* Yes Yes Yes Yes No Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes No No Filled Mineral Mineral Mineral Metallic Mineral Mineral Mineral Mineral Metallic Mineral Metallic Metallic Metallic Mineral Mineral Mineral Metallic Metallic Metallic Mineral Mineral Region Produced North America North America North America North America Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Europe Copyright © 2024, Avient Corporation.

In fact, you may have found yourself swimming in plastics alphabet soup and unsure where to start. TPEs can also be made from post-consumer recycling like ocean plastic (e.g., fishing nets) and turned into material for other goods. Most thermoplastic elastomer products are also recyclable under Plastic Recycling Code 7.
