The SealSafe® bottle dosing adapter lets consumers dose medicine the same way professionals do in a health-care setting – by inserting a syringe in the bottle, turning it over to eliminate air bubbles, and drawing a precise measure into the syringe. It also prevents air contamination and evaporation if the bottle isn’t closed right away.

Specifically, PolyOne's high impact Geon™ formulation increased durability of the system to facilitate air-drop deliveries into remote areas in distress or recovering from natural disasters. Sam DuPlessis, an engineer and WaterStep volunteer, explained, “By enabling us to produce a more durable purifier with greater efficiency, PolyOne has helped the WaterStep team to air-drop more units with greater confidence and help more people in need.

Two innovative materials from PolyOne are featured in Schneider Electric’s Multifix™ Air home electrical installations. The OnFlex TPE material serves as an impermeable elastic membrane, reducing air leakage between a building’s interior and exterior by 95% compared to standard electrical installation boxes, leading to energy savings for Schneider Electric’s customers.

PolyOne is responding to these shifts with technologies that support OEMs and Tier 1s in meeting the challenges involved with advanced mobility, interior air quality regulations, lightweighting, and leading-edge design. Low VOC / FOG Thermoplastic Elastomers OnFlex™ LO thermoplastic elastomers reduce VOCs, fogging, and odor to help satisfy Vehicle Interior Air Quality (VIAQ) standards in automotive HVAC components, fasteners, clips, and interior trays
