Achieve complex designs without expensive
tooling – Gravi-Tech material can be injection
molded into unique part shapes utilizing lower cost
molds made of P20 or H13 steel.
Add weight while simplifying your processing
steps – Simplify your manufacturing process by
injection molding a weighted, finished part in one
step rather than adding a metal weight.
Reduce the number of parts – By injection molding
Gravi-Tech material, you will no longer need to
assemble multiple parts to achieve added weight.

The major types of thermoplastics
include polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyester and a range of
specialized engineering resins.
Further performance can be delivered through an engineered
thermoplastic sheet or thick film, which may incorporate more than one resin formulation or composite
in multiple layers to impart additional properties such as gas barrier, structural integrity and
lightweighting.
