Homepage // News Center // Leading Edge Automotive Technology Relies on Advanced Materials from PolyOne Increasing trends toward electrification, advanced driver-assist systems known as ADAS, car sharing, and environmental concerns are causing manufacturers to rethink how they design and build vehicles," said Holger Kronimus, VP Europe and general manager, Specialty Engineered Materials, Europe for PolyOne. To support customers' design and development of next generation vehicles, PolyOne's automotive materials portfolio includes: 

Having worked with Avient for years, the designers sought out a recommendation for a material to replace the bent steel plate. The materials also allow designers to integrate features into the part without the need for fasteners or secondary operations. And the material costs for Bergamid resin are lower than those of bent steel plate.

Two innovative materials from PolyOne are featured in Schneider’s Multifix™ Air home electrical installations. This project highlights Schneider as a leader in eco-conscious design, and demonstrates the importance of materials that reinforce these efforts while maximizing production efficiency,” commented Holger Kronimus, vice president Europe and general manager, Specialty Engineered Materials, Europe at PolyOne. In addition to its non-halogen formulation, the regulatory-compliant Maxxam solution has a lower density than traditional materials, which reduces material consumption and housing weight for greater production efficiency.

The company’s approach to product design is deeply rooted in the principles of the circular economy and BIC’s 4R philosophy: reducing the amount of raw materials, including as much recycled or alternative materials as possible, making more refillable products, and improving the recyclability of both products and packaging.

ANAHEIM, Calif. – February 4, 2019 – At Medical Design and Manufacturing (MD&M) West this week, PolyOne is highlighting its extensive portfolio of polymers, functional additives, and colorants for the healthcare industry while also featuring its “More Than Materials” approach to helping customers tackle their most important materials challenges. This project combined PolyOne’s strengths and expertise – distributed medical-grade materials, FDA-compliant colorants, pre-colored medical grade polymers, and design and processing support – to create color consistency and accelerated product development for the Dexcom G6 CGM. In addition, PolyOne’s distribution business unit recently collaborated with material supplier Covestro to produce an original eBook, titled, “TrendWatch™ Materials Matter for Connected Health,” which offers insights into the IoMT (Internet of Medical Things) landscape and implications for material selection and design.
