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. Similarly, metallic-effect GLS TPEs are utilized in cosmetics closures and applicators via an overmolding process, which eliminates the time and cost associated with secondary operations and assembly.

Replacing metal cuts heat sink costs for LED lighting assemblies As part of their search for an alternative, Mars Otomotiv’s engineers met with Avient to explore non-metal options for the part. Mars Otomotiv owned the tooling used to form the metal heat sinks.

Metallic Fillers Overview Sometimes, however, a part needs properties only metal can offer, such as weight, high density, radiation shielding, or the ability to be identified by a metal detector. Then add metallic filled material once you have set up your process.

The new grade offers greater design flexibility and more efficient processing compared to metals traditionally used in luxury packaging caps and closures. Gravi-Tech REC formulations enable visual surface effects and aesthetics, including electroplated metallic finish, cool touch, and color variation. The higher density avoids 2-step processes for metal inserts in high-value packaging.

OnColor™ FX™ Metallic Effects deliver a long lasting, like-new appearance and a differentiating effect with a higher reflection value. Geon™ FX Metal pre-colored vinyl helps customer achieve a beautiful metallic appearance without the limitations, costs and environmental challenges of paint. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation
