CycleWorks can develop recycling-friendly product solutions to increase the recyclability of plastic products and, by understanding the chemistry of polymers in the mechanical recycling process, it can provide data to help develop new and unique polymer formulations. Protect polymers against degradation during processing

Polymer vehicle interior delivers ‘wow’ factor, $500,000 in annual savings After a successful trial, the OEM was convinced it could shift from fabric to a polymer interior using the color and additive concentrates.  Increased efficiency: Because the polymer components were easier to manufacture, the OEM was able to reduce lead times for orders and the cost of carrying excess inventory.

Polymers are formed differently and have inherent properties that are optimized by using best practices for their design. Don’t wait too long to select materials: Engage with a polymer supplier early on in the design process to specify the exact material attributes you need. Heat transfer capabilities of metal with design freedom and weight reduction of engineered polymers

Consider making a switch to internally lubricated polymers. Beyond improved surface appearance, protection from friction, and reduced wear, these polymers also offer the design freedom and part consolidation potential of thermoplastics. Not sure if internally lubricated polymers are your answer?

CLEVELAND – High-performance Bergamid™ polymer solutions from PolyOne recently received Underwriters Laboratories’ UL 746C (f1) certification, providing electrical components manufacturers a new way to expand their global footprint and market share.  The addition of this UL certification is a win for customers seeking polymer solutions that meet strict global standards, which help them increase speed to market for new products and expand into new geographies,” commented Holger Kronimus, vice president Europe and general manager, Specialty Engineered Materials, Europe for PolyOne. PolyOne Corporation, with 2014 revenues of $3.8 billion, is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions.
