SHANGHAI – At the ITMA show this week, PolyOne introduced its advanced fiber solutions including a full range of colorant materials and cutting-edge technologies.  For example, our InVisiO™ color & design services offer insights and direction that inspire creativity in the use of colorants and special effects. About PolyOne PolyOne Corporation, with 2015 revenues of $3.4 billion, is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions.

Application design experts can recommend a TPE based on a general description of the desired product and the material properties your application requires. Working with TPEs also gives you extensive design freedom, customization and color options. But here’s a twist—TPEs can also be designed to absorb water if that is a desired property for your application.

CABLE MANUFACTURER L O O S E T U B E T E L E C O M S C A B L E • Low shrinkage (< 1%) • Consistent flame retardancy • Suitable gel resistance • Cold behaviour at - 40°C • Reduce total cost ownership • Improved processing compared to existing LSFOH material, increasing speed up to 800 m/min • Provided consultancy on processing parameters and tooling • Reduced cable thickness to 0.1mm & reduced shrinkage • Enabled customer to enter into new applications and cable designs due to the versatility of the material ECCOH™ 6151 LSFOH Formulations KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT?

LUXURY CLOSURE MANUFACTURER S P I R I T B O T T L E C A P D I S K • Specific gravity of 2.6 to match incumbent metal weight • Polypropylene-based material suitable for physical vapor deposition (PVD) surface treatment • Provided an easy-to-process material with an excellent surface finish for metallization • Met custom weight target and used a magnetic filler to support the magnetic system in the PVD metallization process • Enabled more design freedom by eliminating metal working Gravi-Tech™ Density Modified Formulation KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT?

WHEELCHAIR OEM C A S T E R W H E E L • Composite to replace a traditional aluminum caster • Lightweight, strong material that can withstand the rigor of daily use • Corrosion-resistant solution to reduce cost and frequency of maintenance • Formulated two materials that chemically bond seamlessly to minimize slip • Reduced weight by 33% (280g), supporting improved user maneuverability • Offered an injection-moldable alternative to metal that led to a more functional design and reduced vibration Complēt™ Long Carbon Fiber Nylon 6/6 and TPU Formulations KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT?

The supplier shall ensure the products are designed, produced, and tested in conformity with the requirements prescribed by industry standards or within the supplier’s own QMS. FDA-designed raw materials shall be produced according to the requirements specified by the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. All packaged raw materials shall include the Avient raw material SAP code number and will not be compromised.

Low dielectric losses enable accurate imaging • Good temperature resistance and minimal water absorption • Non-brittle material and chipping resistance • Batch-to batch-stability • Allows large size and complex designs • Size reduction of components, thanks to high Dk PREPERM materials are a perfect fit in imaging lenses or as a radome (protecting cover) or as a combination of these two. PREPERM™ Solutions for Healthcare Technology APPLICATION BULLETIN PREPERM DIELECTRIC MATERIAL FAMILY Optimized material properties for each RF application GAME-CHANGING PREPERM SOLUTIONS Tissue-mimicking phantom materials PREPERM material permittivity can be adapted to the Dk of the human body at various frequencies. Materials can be used as tissue-mimicking phantom materials for calibration of various mmWave and microwave frequency-based imaging devices, like computed tomography (CT) devices.

Compared to those alternative materials, Versaflex TF TPEs also do not include plasticizers, and contain lower volatile organic compounds (VOC) than traditional adhesive solutions, reducing concerns over toxicity.

Electret charging works by improving the crystallinity and mechanical deformation of a material, to prevent electret charge from drifting. By introducing additives with charge storage properties, “charge traps” are created which capture the electret charge that is applied to the meltblown nonwoven material.
