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  

After reviewing the requirements, the two teams worked to customize a color and additive concentrate using carbon fiber to produce the desired visual effect that would make the interior pillars and headliner look like they were covered in fabric.

It enables greater recycled content in PET bottles to reduce carbon emissions and support sustainability by improving the thermal stability of PET throughout the recycling process.  

By using recycled materials, these formulations can also offer lower Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) values than virgin nylon equivalents.

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 FIGURE 40 - Venting Guidelines Vent Groove Vent Land Vent FIGURE 44 - Venting guidelines FIGURE 43 - Venting areas 20 Gravi-Tech CHAPTER 5 | PROCESS OPTIMIZATION Process optimization ensures a quality process and minimizes cycle time.
