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.
Using a variety of metallic fibers and
particles, these compounds have densities
similar to traditional metals, while offering
design and processing flexibility because of the
polymer matrix, which can be extruded, molded,
calendered, or thermoformed into the final
desired shape.
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.

These metals are
strong, durable, and familiar in applications across
the consumer powersports, automotive aftermarket,
aerospace, and heavy truck industries.
However,
metals also have known limitations that impact cost,
processing, and design.
Long fiber thermoplastics (LFT) combine the
structural integrity of metals with the lighter weight
and cost-effectiveness of thermoplastic composites.

Compared to metal,
LFTs can reduce a vehicle’s weight by up to 40%,
leading to significant fuel savings and emission
reductions.
These composites also offer superior
corrosion resistance compared to traditional
metals, providing longer service life and reduced
maintenance costs, making them an excellent
option for automotive applications.
