Scoarste will explain how to determine the right material and process from the start in order to reduce design iterations, mitigate risk, and improve manufacturability.

Specialty solutions on display from PolyOne’s expansive portfolio will include:

Using a method adapted from ASTM D543 for ESCR (environmental stress cracking resistance), results versus alternative FR materials demonstrate superior mechanical and aesthetic property retention, and prevention of cracks and crazing after exposure to leading healthcare disinfectants* such as Virex® Tb, CaviCide™, Vesphene® IIse and Super Sani-Cloth®¹.

Clinicians and patients will benefit from:

The trade show in Friedrichshafen, Germany runs from October 17-21, 2017. 

OnColor™ color and additive concentrates help manufacturers transition away from paint to in-mold color (IMC) solutions that maintain aesthetic qualities while eliminating production steps.  

Parts molded from Artisan pre-colored thermoplastics offer excellent scratch resistance compared to painted plastic, which minimizes the appearance of scratches.

For example, an EU directive for use of rPET in beverage bottles will increase from 25 percent in 2025 to 30 percent in 2030.

Two innovative materials from PolyOne are featured in Schneider Electric’s Multifix™ Air home electrical installations.

Made with post-consumer recycled (PCR) polyolefin as a carrier resin, Rejoin PCR Masterbatch can enable a bottle or part to be manufactured from 100 percent PCR.
