At the time, the boot was injection molded from acrylonitrile-ethylene-styrene (AES) as a standalone part and assembled to the housing separately. However, before making a change involving investment in new tooling and processing expertise, the company wanted to be confident that the solution would make sense from an economic perspective.  Avient gathered detailed data from this customer’s production facility in Mexico and helped them calculate and compare the costs of the two solutions.

This solution set draws from covert and overt authentication techniques, enabling manufacturers to capably protect their products from counterfeiting or unauthorized distribution. PolyOne provides confidential, expert assistance with technology choice, design, and usage as well as process, product and specification development to assist brand owners in shortening product development times and maintaining quality levels for products that can benefit from positive identification.

FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Germany – October 13, 2015 – Sylumis, a leading manufacturer of LED lighting systems based in Lieusaint, France, has successfully replaced metal with a thermally conductive polymer solution from PolyOne in a new, larger model of its Orion™ range of LED spot lamps. Transitioning from metal to specialty engineered polymer solutions helps our customers meet their goals for efficient manufacturing, innovative design and weight savings.” The specialty polymer solution from PolyOne meets relevant safety standards, including a UL94-V0 flame class rating at 3mm thickness, and offers Sylumis significant production efficiencies via injection molding in place of metal forming.

PolyOne has developed formulations based on materials from PVC and polyolefins to the highest temperature fluoropolymers. Its additive solutions help manufacturers speed their production lines, limit shrinkage, protect cable from weathering and flames, and maintain physical properties over the life of an application. PolyOne is exhibiting at WIRE 2016 in Dusseldorf, Germany, at Stand 9/B50 from April 4 – 8, 2016

Working with PolyOne to transition from metal to plastic helped Resol increase its design options, lower overall weight and reduce manufacturing complexity, PolyOne was also able to help Resol achieve excellent aesthetics with molded-in color while eliminating the cost and hassles of painting.

The device housing features Resilience™ HC, a rigid vinyl formulation designed to resist stress cracking from exposure to a wide range of hospital disinfectants.  After extensive material evaluation, the UltraMIST R&D team identified Resilience HC from PolyOne as a potential solution for their new device. As a small company, we never expected that level of service and speed from a supplier, and the outcome is a well-received commercial product.” 

Customers benefit from shorter lead times due to domestic production, and also from our global network of polymer science expertise.” With the most recent addition of TPE production, PolyOne enables manufacturers to source all of their specialty polymer requirements from a single domestic source. PolyOne is exhibiting this week (Hall H2/Stand E6) at the Plastindia trade show in Ahmedabad, India, where it will be displaying applications that benefit from its TPEs and other specialty polymers.

Our customers are looking for sustainable thermoplastic composite materials that are tougher, stronger, and lighter to accelerate their products from concept to production,” said Flight Xu, general manager, Specialty Engineered Materials Asia for PolyOne. Formulations are available with glass, carbon or specialty fiber reinforcements, including glass/carbon hybrids, in engineering polymers ranging from polypropylene to PEEK. PolyOne is showcasing long fiber thermoplastic technologies at its CMF Inspiration Wall (across from Hall 10.3 Entrance, Zone B) at CHINAPLAS 2019 from May 21-24.
