Surfaces protected include steel, wood, painted metal, and other substrates with high aesthetic requirements.
It offers high initial adhesion on steel, rigid plastics such as PMMA (polymerized methyl methacrylate), and other surfaces, but with lower build-up of adhesive residue over time, a lower unwinding force, and better stability.

GUANGZHOU, China – PolyOne announced today at Chinaplas 2017 that COMPTEK™ blends based on polyetheretherketone (PEEK) are now available in Asia for multi-use medical devices, electrical connectors, and other demanding applications.
Because these blends exhibit uniform shrinkage after molding, manufacturers can simplify injection mold construction while still meeting exacting tolerances for plug connectors and other components.
During the Chinaplas trade show this week in Guangzhou, PolyOne’s Science and Innovation Exhibition Area and Collaboration Café (Hall 11.3/R41) will offer visitors the opportunity for in-depth discussions on these and other advanced polymer solutions from PolyOne.

And while underhood elements aren’t classified as appearance parts, the OEM wanted to achieve visual harmony when the hood was opened, so the material also had to match the black of other components in the engine compartment.
One change was to deliver the raw material in round, underwater-cut pellets rather than the square pellets provided by the other material source.
Overall, cost performance for the new material was 40 percent better than for other competitive materials – a level of value the supplier didn’t anticipate when merely seeking another source for a commodity raw material.

Because of their inherent dielectric properties, glass fiber reinforced composites have long been used in electrical transmission and distribution applications such as insulators, arresters and other pole line hardware.
By using composite materials for poles and other components, electrical utilities and telecom providers can:
• Reduce the need for part maintenance and replacement
• Simplify transportation to the job site and installation
• Enhance product performance with resistance to corrosion, heat, weather and flame

When viewed under a black light or other illumination technology, the unique identification in the ink or dye is revealed.
A container will not only be able to independently verify location in real time, but it will also be able to communicate with other containers in near proximity to report on potential diversion activity.
Pros: Ultimate in individual product by product verification, smart technology provides other tracking benefits
