Customized Gravi-Tech™ formulation allowed electroplating to achieve weight, look and feel of metal Gravi-Tech™ formulation replaced metal and enabled PVD metallization for a luxury closure manufacturer Gravi-tech density modified formulations provide metallic finish in perfume cap

The new grade offers greater design flexibility and more efficient processing compared to metals traditionally used in luxury packaging caps and closures. Gravi-Tech REC formulations enable visual surface effects and aesthetics, including electroplated metallic finish, cool touch, and color variation. The higher density avoids 2-step processes for metal inserts in high-value packaging.

OnColor™ FX™ Metallic Effects deliver a long lasting, like-new appearance and a differentiating effect with a higher reflection value. Geon™ FX Metal pre-colored vinyl helps customer achieve a beautiful metallic appearance without the limitations, costs and environmental challenges of paint. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation

Engineered Polymer Formulations | Ebooks , Lightweighting , Metal Replacement , Transportation You’re considering nylon for metal replacement because it can create parts that are durable, strong, yet also lightweight. Nylon is a great option for metal replacement.

When designing with metals like aluminum, zinc, iron, steel, and other alloys, you may face processing challenges and complexity . 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. It is used to prevent metal or unmelted pellets from entering the mold .

Gravi-Tech™ polymer-metal composites are high density materials developed as thermoplastic-based alternatives to lead and other traditional metals

Metallic Fillers Overview Sometimes, however, a part needs properties only metal can offer, such as weight, high density, radiation shielding, or the ability to be identified by a metal detector. Then add metallic filled material once you have set up your process.

Others, such as glossy metallic paint effects, do not only help increase appeal but offer more sustainable, VOC-free alternatives to paint and coatings.
