CLEVELAND – Innovative technologies from PolyOne Corporation have enabled Citroën to launch groundbreaking Airbump® exterior protective panels on the new C4 Cactus passenger car. The air-filled Airbump panels, manufactured from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), can compress up to 20 mm, and bounce back to shape in an instant. Added Palm, “By working with Citroën and its Tier I suppliers, we were able to develop an advanced solution that provides the panels with uniform, attractive, and durable color despite exposure to sunlight, heat, and detergents.

When the company decided to redesign this critical valve insert for one of its medical pumps, the project was beset with problems. For starters, the insert was made from thermoset silicone rubber – a tried-and-true material that requires a slow-and-costly manufacturing process. The decision to redesign the valve insert paid off in multiple ways for the medical device manufacturer, generating a total annual savings of more than $175,000 a year.
