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. Citroën notes that this will reduce the cost of vehicle ownership by reducing damage due to everyday bumps and scratches, such as those from shopping carts or the doors of other vehicles.

CLEVELAND – May 25, 2022 – Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialized and sustainable material solutions and services, today announced nine new reSound™ BIO thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) formulated with bio-renewable content from plants. The new reSound BIO 2800 and 7900 series range in durometer from 30-70 Shore A and offer comparable performance, look, feel, and smell to traditional petroleum-based TPEs. This tone allows the materials to showcase a natural aesthetic or be colored to match design specifications with traditional TPE colorants or sustainable color options from Avient.
