They offer additional characteristics such as high temperature sealing performance, matte surface finish, and low density. OnColor™ Brilliant: striking new line of special effect masterbatches that finally meet the need for paint replacement and premium surface finish. In addition, PolyOne will showcase solutions for leveraging the rise of advanced driver assist systems (ADAS) and the overall electrification trend in transportation.

Forward-looking statements give current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not guarantees of future performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions; prospective changes in raw material costs, product pricing or product demand; future performance; estimated capital expenditures; results of current and anticipated market conditions and market strategies; sales efforts; expenses; the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings and environmental liabilities; and financial results. We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

For example, hospitals are applying increasingly aggressive disinfectants to combat infections, and consumer electronics continue to shrink in size while adding greater functionality.

Surface energy match between the thermoplastic elastomers and the rigid thermoplastic substrate 2. Another important variable is the wettability of the TPE on the substrate surface. A single TPE chemistry can not bond to all the rigid plastic substrates as evidenced by the surface energies demonstrated in Figure 1.

Pre-heating can also reduce any surface moisture present on the substrate and thereby improve adhesion. When using lifter bar ejection systems, differential thermal expansion of the mold may cause the lifter to jam. SEBS formulations release from cool surfaces more easily than hot surfaces.

Good surface aesthetics and color retention are maintained after sterilization processes.  The gloss level cannot be improved through process modification and only small improvements can be made with a change in the tooling surface. Similar to other resin systems, the addition of a color pigment may lower mechanical properties.

At every stage of the plastic life cycle, from manufacturing through processing and end use, Cesa Nox antioxidant masterbatches help maintain shine and transparency while preventing yellowing, surface cracking and odors.
