Home // Resources // Knowledge Base // Transform Product Development with FEA Many metals can approximate linear elastic behavior, but polymer behavior is not so easily simplified to one modulus, making it more challenging to predict performance based on a data sheet.

Using Gravi-Tech™ Lead Replacement Formulations allows manufacturers to avoid the regulatory, disposal and employee exposure challenges associated with traditional lead-based materials. Gravi-Tech™ polymer-metal composites are high density materials developed as thermoplastic-based alternatives to lead and other traditional metals

Check the availability of UL 94 recognized masterbatches for your base resin. Article Exploring the Benefits of Bio-Based Alternatives Finding value when addressing an increased demand for bio-derived solutions.

If you’re considering bio-based plastics for the products in your portfolio, but are concerned about maintaining high product quality standards, we have the solution. These technologies are available to improve the performance of a wide range of bio-based resins including, but not limited to: 

It accomplishes this by bringing incompatible polymers – such as PP and PE – together by forming them into a homogenous polymer mixture that increases mechanical properties based on polymer modification. Watch to learn how Cesa™ Unify™ A4R helps bring incompatible polymers, such as PP and PE, together by forming them into a homogenous polymer mixture that increases mechanical properties based on polymer modification.

Based on consumer research and design trends, this collection will help automotive engineers and designers increase creativity in color development. One of the first developments is based on the Divergent Desires trend, which explores the convergence of technology and nature in unexpected and often ironic ways that reconcile the differences.

Based on expertise in reducing weight and improving portability of mast structures and antennas for the military, Rolatube engineers realized the legs of the tripod could be designed to roll into a compact and portable coil, eliminating the complexity and added weight of telescopic hardware. The thermoplastic polymer base resin used also enables recyclability to support the company’s sustainability goals.
