Elimination of lead = increased safety and compliance: Replacing brass with Gravi-Tech high-density formulations eliminates health and safety concerns about lead

To provide a secure grip for safety and usability, the company planned to overmold a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) onto the handle and other selected areas of the sprayer. Gripping feel = safety and usability for customers: Hand grips created from overmolded OnFlex-S TPE provide excellent anti-slip performance even when wet.
