Gravi-Tech™ Density-Modified Formulations High-Performance Alternative to Lead and Other Traditional Metals PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Gravi-Tech™ polymer-metal composites offer a high-performance thermoplastic-based alternative to lead and other traditional dense metals. VALUE SOLUTION Improve safety and reduce costs with Gravi-Tech formulations When Gravi-Tech polymer metal composites are substituted for lead, manufacturers can avoid the regulatory, disposal and employee exposure challenges associated with lead. Several grades of Gravi-Tech composites used for radiation- shielding applications provide protections similar to traditional lead-based materials, yet these Gravi-Tech polymer-metal composites are 37 percent lighter.

These highly engineered formulations deliver comparable performance to traditional PA66 glass fiber- filled materials, plus the bio-derived solutions offer lower warpage and have excellent surface appearance and colorability.

Drying non-halogenated materials is suggested. 2 hours @ 100 (38) Moisture Range (%) Not required

As a premiere provider of polymer materials, services and solutions, Avient aims to embrace the challenges facing society and play an integral role in addressing them. Polymers 45 Purchased polymers data, broken out by polymer type, was obtained in weight. Emissions for purchased polymers were calculated using appropriate emission factors from ELCD, DEFRA and US-EI 2.2.

Cesa Scratch & Mar Resistance Additives are proven compatible across a wide range of polymers, and can be used in a variety of processes, including extrusion, injection molding, blow molding or thermoforming. PRODUCT BULLETIN KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Enhances resistance to scratching, abrasion, and surface blemishes • Keeps products looking newer, longer • Improves perceived quality • Provides a reduction in surface friction and in sticking between parts • Tested and proven compatible across a wide range of polymers and processes—especially successful with polyolefins MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS Cesa Scratch & Mar Resistance Additives give the extra protection needed for many applications, including those that experience daily surface abrasion.
