Applications ranging from structural to cosmetic in areas such as bulkheads, decking, and cabinetry can benefit from the increased design flexibility these new panels generate. We are investing heavily in composite innovation, and these recent marine applications highlight how customers benefit from the next generation of metal, glass and wood replacement," said

SHANGHAI – At the 2016 Children-Baby-Maternity Expo (CBME), PolyOne is spotlighting a new, portable, folding baby bathtub from Hong Kong-based Karibu Baby Ltd. Karibu switched from a local supplier to PolyOne to obtain an advanced TPE made without bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, or heavy metals. PolyOne colorants provide bright, appealing aesthetics to please children and parents, and help the product stand out from the competition during the purchasing decision.

Derived from end-of-life tires, this new color concentrate is a sustainable alternative to those based on virgin carbon black.   OnColor RC Environmental Black is made using Bolder Black®, a reclaimed version of carbon black made from scrap rubber. Using our OnColor RC Environmental Black concentrate helps to prevent tires from entering the waste stream and extends the useful life of the raw materials found in those tires.”  

These new formulations utilize between 40 and 50 percent bio-renewable content derived from sugarcane, and offer hardness levels and performance comparable to standard TPEs. With an opaque natural color, all reSound OM materials can either use traditional TPE colorants or be paired with sustainable colorants from PolyOne.
