This can include yellowing and other color variations. Examples include: •    Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

OnColor™ HC Colorants for Healthcare: color concentrates developed to meet or exceed USP Class VI and ISO 10993 and formulated without heavy metals, phthalates and BPA or other requirements as specified       Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic

As enterprise manufacturing footprints now extend globally, the demand for authentication technology keeps growing, especially in medical packaging, high-grade food packaging, consumer electronics and other industries. Launched in 2006, the Awards are organized by Industry Sourcing, a leading B2B industrial information provider that belongs to Ringier Trade Media Ltd., and are held annually to give recognition to those who have made the most significant contributions to innovation in food & beverage, packaging, plastics, metalworking, personal care, industrial laser and other industries.

Vibration and noise control: By replacing traditional rubber and other thermosets, GLS™ TPE formulations tackle noise and vibration issues on exterior mirrors and other parts, while providing functional sealing, greater design freedom, and part consolidation through overmolding.

Potential automotive applications with Smartbatch Fabric FX include A-, B- and C-pillars, door panels, and other interior parts.   Photo Credit: PolyOne Photo Caption: With Smartbatch™ Fabric FX, designers of automotive interiors and other applications can create attractive surfaces and simplify manufacturing processes. 

Provide a spring-loaded area if the inserted substrate is a metal or other non-compressible material. Due to the tolerance on metal and other non-compressible inserts, it is necessary to include Belleville disc springs (or high tension springs) in the design to prevent flashing of minimal thickness inserts or crushing of oversized inserts.

These materials feature improved chemical resistance to trusted hospital-grade disinfectants over other flame-resistant (FR) polymers such as PC/ABS, PC/PET, and copolyester. Examples include: •    Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

These materials help our customers lower total costs by replacing metals or other plastics while still meeting all performance targets as well as UL and ingress protection requirements.” PHOTO CAPTION: Resilience™ LS High Reflectance PVC, one of two new grades from PolyOne, offers higher light reflectance and other performance benefits than typical metalized PC

      Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic These and other healthcare processes rely on biopharmaceutical tubing.

They are enhanced by the addition of heat or light stabilizers, color pigments, flame retardants, blowing agents, and other additives required for the intended product.
