(API) of Gainesville, Texas, a manufacturer of plastic pipe components, saw an opportunity to design a flapper valve that could improve upon traditional brass valves and enable non-corrosive, all-plastic piping systems. THE IMPACT Gravi-Tech high-density formulations enabled API to design and mold a patented, full-opening flapper valve that is not only unique in the market, but also offers important cost, performance and environmental advantages over brass.. • System cost reduction = competitive advantage: The PolyChek valve featuring Gravi-Tech materials offer customers faster installation, less maintenance and longer life. • Design freedom = unique product offering: The ability to injection mold Gravi-Tech materials instead of machining brass enabled API to design a cost-effective, full-opening flapper valve that is 100% pigable. • High performance = customer satisfaction: The PolyChek valve gives API’s customers the ability to create all-plastic piping systems that eliminate leakage and weak spots. • Elimination of lead = increased safety and compliance: Replacing brass with Gravi-Tech high-density formulations eliminates health and safety concerns about lead. • Use of existing tooling = lower capital costs: API was able to use the same mold originally designed for nylon to run the Gravi-Tech materials, saving the substantial costs of retooling. Thanks to the customized Gravi-Tech material, API was able to successfully design and mold a flapper valve that is the only one of its kind on the market—and offers a less expensive solution than traditional brass valves.

With faster material lead times, manufacturers of 5th generation (5G) antennas can qualify designs faster and meet the demands of rapidly deploying 5G infrastructures. Specific Dk Material – Our custom formulations give your antenna design the specific Dk needed, beween 3.0 Dk and 9.0 Dk. Further, injection- moldable materials allow for unique antenna designs and complex shapes, while only simple shapes are possible when using traditional materials.
