KEY REQUIREMENTS
WHY AVIENT?

THE SOLUTION
Gravi-Tech™ density-modified formulations are unique,
high-density materials developed as thermoplastic-based
alternatives to lead and other traditional metals.
They are
formulated using select metallic fillers and engineered
thermoplastic resins to achieve the specific gravity of different
metals, while providing the design flexibility and processing
ease of conventional thermoplastics.

Faster Speed-to-Market and Increased Design
Flexibility – The sampling and validating of
thermoplastic formulations is faster than that
of traditionally used materials such as ceramics
or printed circuit boards (PCB).
Better Performance-to-Cost Ratios – Traditionally
used materials can cost 30–40% more than a
thermoplastic solution at only slightly better
performance.
Small Part Manufacturing Capabilities –
Thermoplastics can be molded into smaller parts,
whereas the manufacturing process of traditionally
used materials limits this capability.

Thermoplastics offer versatility and a
wide range of applications.
Garratt worked for DuPont Dow Elastomers, a joint venture of Dupont and Dow (global
manufacturers of engineered thermoset rubber and thermoplastic elastomer materials) in market development and
product management positions, culminating in a regional commercial leadership role for Europe, the Middle East
and Africa.
Our product portfolio, which we believe to be one of the most diverse in our industry, includes specialty
formulated high-performance polymer materials that are manufactured using thermoplastic resins and elastomers,
which are then combined with advanced polymer additives, reinforcement, filler, colorant and/or biomaterial
technologies.
