OnColor™ Brilliant Metallics - Product Bulletin (Chinese) OnColor™ Brilliant Metallics - Product Bulletin (English) Gravi-Tech™ formulation replaced metal and enabled PVD metallization for a luxury closure manufacturer

When designing with metals like aluminum, zinc, iron, steel, and other alloys, you may face processing challenges and complexity. These materials have been formulated using select metallic fillers and engineered thermoplastic resins to have densities similar to actual metals, while also providing the design flexibility and processing ease of conventional thermoplastics. It is used to prevent metal or unmelted pellets from entering the mold.

Brand owners who collaborate with PolyOne are taking advantage of Gravi-Tech™ Density Modified Formulations, metallic-effect GLS™ thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), and InVisiOSM Color and Design Services. For example, Gravi-Tech formulations impart weight, sound and a metallic finish to caps and closures for both cosmetics and spirits applications, while removing the secondary operations and constraints that traditional metals require. Similarly, metallic-effect GLS TPEs are utilized in cosmetics closures and applicators via an overmolding process, which eliminates the time and cost associated with secondary operations and assembly.
