THE SOLUTION
Gravi-Tech™ density-modified formulations are unique,
high-density materials developed as thermoplastic-based
alternatives to lead and other traditional metals.
Thanks to the customized Gravi-Tech material, API was able
to successfully design and mold a flapper valve that is the
only one of its kind on the market—and offers a less expensive
solution than traditional brass valves.
