Improved performance, reduced weight contribute to $500,000 in annual savings
That lowered the total weight by 5% while preserving physical property performance.
The lighter weight and stiffer walls of the redesigned tote helped the manufacturer to differentiate its product and gain market share.

Strength, Low Weight and Greater Flexibility
It gave the company the performance it was looking for while also reducing weight, increasing design options and saving money.
Lighter weight = environmental benefits: With an approximate 50 percent weight reduction, the Bergamid resin parts help HellermannTyton’s OEM customers achieve better fuel efficiency and lower CO2 emissions.

Test samples 3.8 cm2 were
placed in intimate contact with nutrient salts agar.
The loading of ZPT was reduced from 1500 to
1250, and 750 ppm, and a blue tint colorant masterbatch
was added at two levels, 3% and 6% by weight of the final
compound.
Only polyamide-6 exhibited a nota-
ble change in fungal growth from trace (rating = 1) to
heavy (rating = 4) when comparing smooth and textured
surfaces, respectively.

Lighter-weight panels: this can result in roughly 20% higher productivity
(11.8 sq. ft.
Strength You Can Count On: Durable doesn’t have to mean heavy.
And
with their lighter weight, they help cut down on transportation costs, too.

However, concrete walls, sandbags, and other traditional ballistic structures are heavy, hard to move, and time-consuming to construct.
The composite material is 25% the weight of comparable steel structures and also weights significantly less than concrete, making them easily deployable in the field.
