OnForce™ Long Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Formulations provided metal replacement and met strict mechanical criteria Learn about long fiber technology and why it’s replacing metal. Metal Replacement with Long Fiber Thermoplastics Webinar

OnForce™ Long Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Formulations provided metal replacement and met strict mechanical criteria Complēt™ long carbon fiber reinforced nylon composite replaced metal steering column supports and lowered weight by 50% Craftech Non-Metallic Fasteners

First-generation Gravi-Tech Density Modified Formulations were developed to mimic the luxurious look, weight, and feel of die-cast or machined metals by using select metallic fillers and thermoplastic resin. Formulated using engineered thermoplastic resins and select metallic fillers, they offer densities similar to traditional metals while providing design and processing flexibility. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint
