Trabajando de cerca con el productor, el equipo de Avient recomendó personalizar una fórmula de material de alta densidad como alternativa al metal. Moldear la tapa por el proceso de inyección con este material llamado Gravi-Tech™, proporciona la apariencia, la sensación y el peso del metal y mantiene una percepción premium. El cambio de moldeado de metal a moldeado por inyección también permitiría el ahorro en el costo de procesamiento y un aumento en la libertad de diseño.

ANTIOXIDANTS FOR METAL/PP-R AND PP-RCT SYSTEMS Plastic systems in contact with metal inserts can also be subject to oxidization. Avient offers antioxidants that act as metal deactivator for PP-R and PP-RCT components fitted with metal inserts.

METAL REPLACEMENT COMBINES METAL’S STRENGTH WITH PLASTIC’S LIGHT WEIGHT CASE STUDY: COMPLĒT™ LONG GLASS FIBER REINFORCED COMPOSITE Ch all en ge A cc ep te d. This was great for strength and performance, but the yoke was heavy, had long lead times for production, and was nearly $100 per part, making it ripe for a metal-to- plastic conversion. With lightweighting benefits and design freedom, this high-end composite was shown in mold filling and FEA analysis to maintain the reliability and strength of metal.
