Brand owners who collaborate with PolyOne are taking advantage of Gravi-Tech™ Density Modified Formulations, metallic-effect GLS™ thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), and InVisiOSM Color and Design Services. For example, Gravi-Tech formulations impart weight, sound and a metallic finish to caps and closures for both cosmetics and spirits applications, while removing the secondary operations and constraints that traditional metals require.

In addition, experts from the company will make 15-minute Tech Talk presentations daily at the PolyOne exhibit (Hall B5, Stand 5316) to help plastics processors quickly learn more about these advanced technologies. The technology is successful largely due to the thermally conductive properties of PolyOne’s Therma-Tech™ engineered polymers. Visitors to Fakuma 2015 are also invited to visit PolyOne and attend one of its daily Tech Talk presentations on topics including:

Therma-Tech™ Thermally Conductive Formulations A collaborative team from the two companies looked at potential options before developing a material that combined two grades of Avient’s Therma-Tech™ thermal management formulations.  Reduced material usage: The Therma-Tech formulation required 37 percent less material due to its lower density compared with aluminum. 

Therma-Tech™ Thermally Conductive Formulations Working together, the group determined that Therma-Tech™ thermally conductive polymers had all the necessary properties to replace the aluminum heat sinks. They eventually settled on Therma-Tech TT6600-5001EC as the best solution to provide comparable heat dissipation.

The Avient team used their extensive knowledge and experience working with high-density polymers to develop a specialized Gravi-Tech™ high-density polymer composite that met PolyCase’s needs and fit the profile of their proprietary injection molding process. By replacing lead with the Gravi-Tech formulation, PolyCase Ammunition avoids the regulatory, disposal and employee exposure challenges associated with lead.
