THE CHALLENGE
The automotive industry is increasingly turning to engineered
thermoplastics to replace metal parts, thereby achieving
benefits of lower weight for greater fuel efficiency, increased
design freedom to incorporate larger numbers of sophisticated
components, and lower costs from elimination of secondary
fabrication steps.
HellermannTyton, a global leader in designing and
manufacturing fastening solutions for the automotive
industry, wanted to improve upon the bent steel plate it was
using to fabricate a complicated seat fastening device for a
leading automotive manufacturer.

https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2024-02/Gravi-Tech REC Recycled Formulations Product Bulletin.pdf
Gravi-Tech™ REC Recycled Formulations
Gravi-Tech™ REC recycled formulations are density
modified engineered polymers based on recycled
resin and/or recycled filler from post-industrial
recycled (PIR) and/or post-consumer recycled (PCR)
sources.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Customized density offering a wide range of
specific gravities (1.2–11 gm/cm3)
• Based on recycled resin from PIR and PCR
sources
• Broad modulus range, from very flexible to very
rigid grades
• Corrosion resistance that withstands oxidization
for long-term use and benefit
• Chemical resistance can be adapted depending
on base resin as required
• Provides visual surface effects, aesthetics, and
cool touch
• Design flexibility and processing ease
MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS
Applications in packaging and consumer goods in
which a more sustainable solution is preferred:
• Cosmetic caps and closures
• Perfume caps
• Spirit bottle caps
• Luxury boxes
• Handles and knobs
SUSTAINABILITY BENEFITS
• Formulated with recycled resin from
post-industrial recycled (PIR) and/or
post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources including
ocean bound plastic waste
• Reduces waste and supports the circular
economy
• Reduces carbon footprint compared to fossil
feedstock alternatives
• Simplifies manufacturing and lowers costs
versus metal
