THE SOLUTION
Gravi-Tech™ density-modified formulations are unique,
high-density materials developed as thermoplastic-based
alternatives to lead and other traditional metals.
High performance = customer satisfaction: The
PolyChek valve gives API’s customers the ability to create
all-plastic piping systems that eliminate leakage and
weak spots
Elimination of lead = increased safety and compliance:
Replacing brass with Gravi-Tech high-density formulations
eliminates health and safety concerns about lead

In the electronics industry, plastic enclosures and connectors not only
enhance safety through electrical insulation, but thermally and electrically conductive plastics provide
heat transferring, cooling, antistatic, electrostatic discharge, and electromagnetic shielding
performance for critical applications including integrated circuit chip packaging.
Our operations could be adversely affected by various risks inherent in conducting operations
worldwide.
We depend on integrated information systems to conduct our business.
