KEY CHARACTERISTICS
The primary features and benefits
of Gravi-Tech formulations are:
• Customized density, offering a wide range of
specific gravities from 1.5 to 11 gm/cm3
• Broad modulus range, from very flexible to
very rigid grades
• Corrosion resistance, withstanding oxidation
for long-term use and benefit
• Chemical resistance, withstanding fuels, oils
and other harsh chemicals
Additional features include:
• Design flexibility and processing ease
• Good impact strength
• Elevated heat deflection temperature

CHAPTER 2 | PROCESS SETTINGS
Density Modified Formulations
Gravi-Tech™ polymer-metal composites are high-density materials developed as thermoplastic-based
alternatives to lead and other traditional metals.
These materials have been formulated using select metallic
fillers and engineered thermoplastic resins to have densities similar to actual metals, while also providing the
design flexibility and processing ease of conventional thermoplastics.

Mold Strength
When consulting how strong the mold needs
to be, there are two types of pressures it must
withstand: injection pressure and clamping
pressure.

PROCESS OVERVIEW
Polystrand™ advanced thermoplastic composites
combine high strength, unidirectional, continuous
fibers with engineered thermoplastic resins to create
continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP)
materials that feature exceptional strength-to-weight
ratio and high impact resistance.
Overmolding integrates Polystrand tapes and multi-
ply laminates into traditional thermoplastic molding
processes, such as injection and compression
molding, to create locally-reinforced, molded
components.
Overmolding with Polystrand™ Continuous Fiber
Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites
Processability Meets Performance
Overmolding with Polystrand
CFRTP can enhance the
performance of traditional
thermoplastics or enable metal
replacement in a wide range of
applications.
