Using these composites as a metal replacement also fosters significant weight reductions along with the time and cost savings benefits of single-step injection molding.  Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint  

This highly engineered, filled thermoplastic polymer replaces metal in electromagnetic and radio-frequency (EMI/RFI) shielding applications at up to 60 percent lighter weight. Its core material, ElectriPlast®, is an electrically conductive resin-based material whose properties allow it to be molded into infinite shapes and sizes associated with plastics and rubbers, while reducing component weight by 40 to 60%.

Light Weighting & Thermal Conductivity for Circuit Board Heat Exchanger Therma-Tech™ provides light weighting and thermal conductivity for circuit board heat exchanger 

Excelite™ IM Chemical Foaming Additives improved cycle time and weight reduction Hydrocerol chemical foaming agents help to reduce the weight of automotive plastic parts like dashboard carriers, interior trim parts, door panels or glove boxes.

A GFRP usually is between 10 percent to 50 percent glass fiber by weight. In many cases, biobased fillers and fibers also have a lower density, which can help when trying to reduce weight. Tungsten filler also can replace lead in projectile ammunition— satisfying lead level regulations—and provides weight and balance in such sporting equipment as golf clubs and weight training vests.
