To better serve these customers, PolyOne has developed this industry-specific collection to focus on the color palettes most applicable for transportation applications,” said Fernando Sanchez, director, global marketing, PolyOne Global Color and Additives. The InVisiO Color Inspiration special collection for the transportation industry will expand as PolyOne continues to work closely with designers and identify additional new color-inspired trends.

To meet new European Union targets for CO2 emissions on new vehicles, many in the automotive industry are looking for ways to remove additional weight. OnColor™ color and additive concentrates help manufacturers transition away from paint to in-mold color (IMC) solutions that maintain aesthetic qualities while eliminating production steps.  

No matter the application, we have the experience and the appropriate solutions to help customers overcome their challenges,” commented Christoph Palm, general manager, Color & Additives EMEA & India, at PolyOne. Its additive solutions help manufacturers speed their production lines, limit shrinkage, protect cable from weathering and flames, and maintain physical properties over the life of an application.

In addition, processing efficiencies are reduced as the material is recycled. Formulated for addition to virgin PET and recycled PET (rPET), heat-stable ColorMatrix Optica blue toners work to correct and reduce the yellowing or color variation that typically occurs during the recycling process.

ColorMatrix™ Ultimate™ UV390R is a new ultraviolet (UV) absorbing additive technology suitable for both virgin and recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) that allows less than 10% UV light transmission up to 395 nm and helps achieve improved bottle blowing with enhanced recyclability features, including less rPET yellowing.   Cesa™ Nox A4R Additives for Recycling can protect post-consumer polyolefins against oxidation, typically resulting in defects like black spots, gels, and discoloration.

In addition, we were able to deliver improved flame retardance, enabling the integration of electronics in the booster pump control head to improve cost-effectiveness versus metal or glass-filled polymer alternatives.” In addition to booster pump control heads, the technology can be extended to pump housings, diffusers, impellers, water softeners, valves, actuators, flow meters, flanges, seal plates, motor mounting plates, motor lock rings, and union connectors.

CLEVELAND – October 28, 2019 – PolyOne today announced the launch of reSound™ OM (overmolding) thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), the latest addition to its sustainable solutions portfolio. In addition, the new grades feature easy colorability, a major requirement for applications such as cosmetics packaging, personal care products, and consumer electronics.

This can occur due to improper injection molding conditions or the incompatibility of a TPE or vulcanized silicone material with certain additives. In addition, the materials’ outstanding mold release improves cycle times, reducing overall energy use to support manufacturers in reaching their sustainability goals.
