The long glass fiber reinforcement within the hybrid solutions offers a significant boost in toughness to the formulation, protecting your application from impact failure. Hybrid materials range from 20-50% total long glass + long carbon fiber content (by weight) reinforcing a variety of resin systems including polyamides, rigid thermoplastic polyurethanes and polypropylene.

From manufacturers of toys to the kids that play with them, everyone is affected in some way—even those who make and donate products to hospitals and charities. There are new rules to be understood and adopted for everyone from the largest global manufacturer to the crafter working in the family workshop to the mom-and-pop shop on the corner.

Two innovative materials from PolyOne are featured in Schneider’s Multifix™ Air home electrical installations. Airtight housings are molded from Maxxam™ FR non-halogenated flame retardant polymers and overmolded with OnFlex™ non-halogenated, flame-retardant thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs).

The four dynamic palettes represent mindsets that draw from health and well-being, sustainable living, inspired playfulness, and a theatrical spirit. From bamboo to ceramic bisque to fabric, materials are being used to soothe the senses and soften our surroundings.

Buying behavior is influenced significantly by color, and creative decision-makers who choose inspirations derived from societal trends can better engage with today’s consumers,” said Fernando Sanchez, director, global marketing, PolyOne Global Color and Additives. Our collections draw from global megatrends and insights in color research to develop palettes that capture the current zeitgeist for designers and developers.”

Fueling this growth, in part, are public commitments from brands across a range of industries to increase their use of recycled plastics. reSound™ OM (overmolding) thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) utilize between 40 and 50 percent bio-renewable content derived from sugarcane, and offer hardness levels and performance comparable to standard TPEs.
