Variations in the aesthetic appearance of rPET are caused by multiple heat cycles, as the material is recovered and reused. Formulated for addition to virgin PET and recycled PET (rPET), heat-stable ColorMatrix Optica blue toners work to correct and reduce the yellowing or color variation that typically occurs during the recycling process.

In both cases, our experts helped innovative customers replace metal with specialty polymer formulations that can conduct heat, provide electrical insulation, or conduct electricity,” commented Holger Kronimus, vice president Europe, PolyOne Corporation. The two companies teamed up to develop an all-plastic temperature sensor in the 2015 Ford Edge to control heating and cooling of the vehicle’s interior.

By collaborating, PolyOne and selected developers have succeeded in establishing a time- and cost-saving means to produce the 3D-MIDs serving as heat sinks in LED lighting, which could prove an alternative to the complex printed circuit boards now fairly ubiquitous in these applications. Managing heat with specialty thermoplastics

Can be polished or heat-treated. Heat-treats and polishes well. Heat-treats and polishes well. 

If the heaters are on continuously, there is not enough heat being produced from shear. To increase shear heating, increase the screw rpm and back pressure. Increasing the back pressure increases shear heating of the material.
