Based on styrenic block copolymers, this thermoplastic elastomer offers low temperature flexibility, good abrasion resistance, excellent colorability and UV resistance. Because it exhibits a higher flow rate than other SBC-based TPEs, OnFlex-S TPE reduces cycle times during injection molding, a feature that satisfies productivity objectives set by Jäger. This specific grade is based on styrene-ethylene butylene-styrene (SEBS), and its 80 Shore A hardness provides desirable toughness.

– January 16, 2020 – At this year’s Impressions Expo, PolyOne Specialty Inks is launching its new Zodiac™ Aquarius Digital Hybrid eco-conscious water-based ink system. Consisting of a white under-base and matte top coat designed to protect and enhance digitally printed garments, these inks produce a soft, flexible hand, matte finish, and vibrant colors while also helping improve wash durability. In addition, our new high solids water-based system has excellent opacity to allow printers to reduce the number of screens, ink deposit, and flash units required.”

When it comes to color’s role in this evolution, it’s clear that trends based on deep-rooted societal changes have greater authenticity and staying power than more ephemeral fads. Color formulations are also based on advanced bio-based masterbatches that include elemental pigments. For more information on Color Inspiration 2019+ and how it can help designers and brand owners develop color strategies based on consumer color preferences, please contact us here.

While most batteries are traditionally metal-based, there are significant advantages to using polymers (plastics) instead, especially with recent advancements in polymer science that make using these materials in electric vehicle batteries possible. Furthermore, the lighter weight of polymer-based batteries contributes to improved energy efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas emissions during vehicle operation.  Using engineered polymers in electric vehicle batteries presents numerous advantages over traditional metal-based materials.

Percept technologies can be tailored to a wide variety of processing conditions, end-use applications, and authentication techniques based on overt, covert, or forensic-based approaches. These solutions enable companies to readily identify counterfeit products with easy-to-use methods based on additives and unique identifiers called taggants.
