Metal replacement, design improvements and Complēt™ long fiber technology provide powerful solution for Bettcher Industries Craftech Non-Metallic Fasteners Complēt™ long glass fiber reinforced nylon composite consolidated multiple metal components into a unified seat shell permitting weight and cost reductions

Customized Gravi-Tech™ formulation allowed electroplating to achieve weight, look and feel of metal Gravi-Tech™ formulation replaced metal and enabled PVD metallization for a luxury closure manufacturer Gravi-tech density modified formulations provide metallic finish in perfume cap

A fresh alternative to painted metal or plastic parts, Artisan thermoplastics provide chemical and scratch resistance, weatherability, and UV stability for long-lasting aesthetics. Available in multiple customized colors and metallic effects. Artisan™ high-gloss, metallic effect ABS formulation provided paint replacement solution to meet electronic applications needs

METALLIC GREEN 3295 METALLIC BLUE KIT METALLIC SILVER

The new grade offers greater design flexibility and more efficient processing compared to metals traditionally used in luxury packaging caps and closures. Gravi-Tech REC formulations enable visual surface effects and aesthetics, including electroplated metallic finish, cool touch, and color variation. The higher density avoids 2-step processes for metal inserts in high-value packaging.

OnColor™ FX™ Metallic Effects deliver a long lasting, like-new appearance and a differentiating effect with a higher reflection value. Geon™ FX Metal pre-colored vinyl helps customer achieve a beautiful metallic appearance without the limitations, costs and environmental challenges of paint. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation

OnForce™ Long Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Formulations provided metal replacement and met strict mechanical criteria Complēt™ long carbon fiber reinforced nylon composite replaced metal steering column supports and lowered weight by 50% Craftech Non-Metallic Fasteners

Paint-free metallic finish: OnColor™ FX Metal colorants – providing visually appealing metallic finishes without the need for a secondary painting process

Ideal for metal replacement, these formulations can deliver robust performance in harsh environments without compromising physical integrity. Metal Replacement: OnForce™ Replace metal with engineered polymers that enhance product design and functionality

Reinforced polymer materials are increasingly being used for structural applications because they allow manufacturers to replace traditional metal components with lighter-weight plastics. Long fiber composites, in particular, are well-suited for replacing metal, offering exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and the ease of injection molding, which can expand design options and streamline processing steps.   However, transitioning from metal to plastic requires thorough technical analysis and preparation.
