Replaces Lead with Trilliant™ Radiation Shielding from PolyOne ANAHEIM, Calif. – PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL), a premier global provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions, announced that medical device manufacturer Mecall S.r.l. has replaced lead in radiology equipment with Trilliant™ Radiation Shielding solutions from PolyOne.  At working energy levels, the shielding provided by this Trilliant formulation is higher than lead, according to Mecall, resulting in the collimator operator and patient being better protected from unnecessary exposure to radiation.

Shielding elements protect sensitive electronic components from degradation due to X-ray exposure during a CT scan. Teams from all three companies worked together to develop new designs based on Trilliant™ Healthcare Radiation Shielding Compound, a high-density, metallic-filled material. The three-way collaboration allowed the manufacturer to reduce shielding component costs from 30 to 50 percent due to machining, assembly and regulatory cost reductions versus traditional methods.

Conflicts of Interest Directors are expected to be free of outside interests that conflict with the best interests of the Company. The Board’s policy as to whether these roles should be separate is to adopt the practice that best serves the Company’s needs at any particular time.
