Ensure your trucks can carry big freight while not contributing to the weight. Ensure your trucks can carry big freight while not contributing to the weight.

Introduced in March 2015, these sustainable formulations—with at least 30% engineered natural fiber by weight—offer an alternative to glass fiber reinforced polypropylene compounds, with comparable mechanical properties at 5-10% lower density. Reducing CO2 emissions with lighter-weight thermoplastics

Hydrocerol™ Foaming Agents: These additives are commonly used in consumer goods and automotive components to reduce part weight without compromising stiffness or mechanical properties. 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

First-generation Gravi-Tech Density Modified Formulations were developed to mimic the luxurious look, weight, and feel of die-cast or machined metals by using select metallic fillers and thermoplastic resin. 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 

Switching to DCU additive-modified PET gives processors this ability, in addition to reduced weight and other cost advantages, because it allows lighter weight, monolayer PET bottles to preserve liquid dairy products.

PolyOne developed a specific Gravi-Tech formulation that makes it possible to produce the unique geometry of the bullet while maintaining balance and weighting requirements to deliver higher velocity and more efficient energy transfer. Patterson said, “Drawing from our full breadth of services and solutions we are uniquely positioned to help our customers introduce lighter weight, more durable and aesthetically appealing products for the outdoor enthusiast.”

Avient’s composite tapes combine thermoplastic resins with unidirectional and engineered fibers to create continuous fiber-reinforced composite materials that provide superior strength-to-weight ratio and high performance for reinforcement across a broad range of applications. 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

Colorant Chromatics™ Chemical & Physical Foaming Additives enhance electrical properties, reduce cable weight, and improve cost effectiveness. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation

Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents: polymer additives typically used in consumer goods and automotive components to reduce part weight, enabling processors to use 10 to 20% less plastic when creating parts that are visually identical to heavier, solid-walled alternatives 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 next-generation composite fabric material can offer up to 10 times more abrasion resistance, 5 times better tear resistance, and 34% weight savings compared to the existing Dyneema® high-performance composite portfolio. Fifteen times stronger than steel yet light enough to float on water, Dyneema® is the original ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber, which is trusted in countless applications where performance is paramount and reliability is critical.
