Natural ABS formulation enables improved color consistency, operational efficiency
Working together, the team developed a natural ABS formulation with an additive package that provided consistent color along with heat-stabilizing properties.
The immediate result of the new ABS material was elimination of the automaker’s color consistency issues.

CHAPTER 2 | PROCESS SETTINGS
Density Modified Formulations
Gravi-Tech™ polymer-metal composites are high-density materials developed as thermoplastic-
based alternatives to metals.
Solvent
Solvents soften surfaces of plastic (plastic
must be soluble)—best for amorphous or
low crystalline plastics, such as ABS, acrylic,
cellulosic, PC, PS, PPO, and vinyls .
Venting Guidelines by Resin
• PC: .001"– .002" depth & .250" width
• PC/PSU: .002"– .003" depth & .250" width
• PES: .003"– .004" depth & .250" width
• PEI: .001"– .003" depth & .250" width
• PP: .001"– .002" depth & .250" width
• ABS: .0015"– .0025" depth & .250" width
• PEEK: .002"–.004" depth & .250" width
