Completes specialty acquisitions of Gordon Composites and Polystrand and establishes Advanced Composites platform existing composite technologies under a new platform to be called PolyOne Advanced Composites, which will operate within the Specialty Engineered Materials segment. Gordon Composites complements our Glasforms business with leading thermoset solutions. 

The team selected a long glass fiber-reinforced nylon material (Complēt™ PA66-LGF50 composite) for the shaft substrate to provide strength and to withstand hammering impact.

Eco-conscious packaging compositions are preferred by customers, pushing convertors and brand owners to find more sustainable materials that also ensure food contact compliance. More and more convertors and brand owners working with flexible film products are seeking materials and solutions that permit them to work with mono-material compositions for their packaging options, as mono-materials are easier to recycle and therefore contribute to a circular economy over time. With its ability to simplify packaging structures and reduce waste, Cesa Anti-Block Slip LS supports the transition from difficult-to-recycle multi-material packaging to mono-material compositions, contributing to a positive brand image in the market.
