Advanced Mobility Solar Panels: Wire & Cable Jacketing, Backsheet Laminate Films Advanced Composites

Demonstrations include impact resistance comparisons for composite reinforced and unreinforced materials, and bending / forming of composite tapes, laminates, and sandwich panels. It includes the latest injection and compression molding equipment for overmolded composite part sampling and prototyping as well as advanced testing systems for material analysis. The complete PolyOne Advanced Composites portfolio, including thermoplastic and thermoset composite materials, will be on exhibit in booth Y2 at CAMX in Anaheim, CA, September 24-26. 

These advanced technologies, including soft-touch materials as well as colorants and special effects, enable customers to design new features that boost consumer appeal and reduce manufacturing complexity. These new materials meet or exceed OEM airbag safety requirements for instrument panels and provides up to 15% faster cycle times and 35% lower scrap rates, when compared to standard materials.
