These savings are realized through circular activities that enable more efficient use of materials and less reliance on the raw materials market, where prices are often volatile. Reliance on Materials of Low Residual Value The environmental and economic impacts of a material can vary greatly. Industries often choose a material because they are economically advantageous, but this also means the material can have low residual value.

Food contact: Need for food contact compliant materials in household appliances. When a lower-performing pigment is used in a material that is processed at a high temperature, the results are not pretty… the material often turns black or degrades. The metal used for FFF dies depends on the polymer: unfilled materials can use softer brass dies, while fiber-reinforced materials need harder steel to prevent premature wear.

When the company turned its eye on one of its most ubiquitous products – electrical junction boxes – it had a real challenge on its hands. They then modified the material to offer enough heat resistance so it could be overmolded onto polypropylene, the underlying material that provides the gaskets’ rigidity.  The material also can be used in tools originally constructed for halogenated materials with no rework required.

PolyOne is showcasing its innovative polymer technologies at CMF Inspiration Walls, where experts will be on hand to connect with customers. The company adds value to global customers and improves sustainability through formulating materials, such as: Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

FRP pultrusions offer several advantages over traditional materials, like metals, ceramics, and unreinforced plastics. Carbon fiber pultrusions are exceptionally lighter than metal and other materials. If you are a design materials engineer looking for a high-performance composite material for your application, pultruded composites are a good option to consider.

This year’s collection begins with minerals of the Stone Age and hand-made art of indigenous cultures. Palettes across unexpected product categories are inspired by these materials. Artists and designers experiment with different materials to create “handmade” craft impression.
