Gravi-Tech™ Density-Modified Formulations High-Performance Alternative to Lead and Other Traditional Metals PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Gravi-Tech™ polymer-metal composites offer a high-performance thermoplastic-based alternative to lead and other traditional dense metals. VALUE SOLUTION Improve safety and reduce costs with Gravi-Tech formulations When Gravi-Tech polymer metal composites are substituted for lead, manufacturers can avoid the regulatory, disposal and employee exposure challenges associated with lead. Several grades of Gravi-Tech composites used for radiation- shielding applications provide protections similar to traditional lead-based materials, yet these Gravi-Tech polymer-metal composites are 37 percent lighter.

Polyester is a favored polymer to recycle and reprocess in different industries and this is also the case for the fiber industry. The Cesa™ Fiber Additives portfolio includes chain extenders specially formulated to help recouple depolymerized polymer chains and support a more stable processing of recycled flakes into fibers. They are added during polymer processing in the spin-dyeing process, thus eliminating the need for additional extrusion or polycondensation steps.

Smartbatch™ Fabric FX Color and Additives Enhance Perceived Value with Look of Fabric Smartbatch™ Fabric FX color and additive concentrates from Avient are a hassle-free means for manufacturers to turn plain, smooth polymer surfaces into those that mimic the soft appearance of textile. For manufacturers who currently bond textiles to polymer surfaces, this solution gives applications comparable aesthetics but at a significantly lower total cost, and without the logistics and processing hassles associated with bonding textiles to polymers.

ESC is defined as the premature embrittlement and crack propagation of a polymer part. Ideally, all polymer contacting edges should be round or radiused. Sharp edges on an insert can create sharp edges on the polymer that result in a stress riser.
