When designing with metals like aluminum,
zinc, iron, steel, and other alloys, you may face processing challenges and complexity .
Injection Speed
The injection speed for Gravi-Tech material is
most often higher than what is used for other
formulations .
When the layers flow past each other, there is
a considerable amount of friction created .

Other key processing parameters are slow injection speeds
and low back pressures.
** Avoid processing for a resin-rich surface.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/resources/HIGH_PERFORMANCE_CLEAR_THERMOPLASTICS_ELASTOMER.pdf
There are other properties requirements
such as tensile, tear, creep, compression set,
which are designed for functional performance.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-10/LubriOne Product Selection Guide.pdf
These
properties, coupled with a wide array of base engineering thermoplastics,
deliver the distinct benefits of LubriOne:
• Reduced friction and heat buildup between interacting surfaces
• Reduced noise and vibration among components in relative motion
• Reduced weight and improved design freedom
• Lower long–term maintenance costs when grease and other lubricants
are eliminated
