First-generation Gravi-Tech Density Modified Formulations were developed to mimic the luxurious look, weight, and feel of die-cast or machined metals by using select metallic fillers and thermoplastic resin.
Formulated using engineered thermoplastic resins and select metallic fillers, they offer densities similar to traditional metals while providing design and processing flexibility.
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

Examples include:
• Unique technologies that improve the recyclability
of products and enable recycled content to be
incorporated, thus advancing a more circular
economy
• 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
• Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase
energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural
resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network

Polymers have a considerably lower density than metal, allowing for lighter and more energy-efficient batteries.
Polymers can be processed at a lower cost than metals, reducing overall material expenses.
Using engineered polymers in electric vehicle batteries presents numerous advantages over traditional metal-based materials.
