Excelite™ IM Chemical Foaming Additives for Plastic Pallet Manufacturer HiFormer™ Liquid Technology for Plastic Coloration - Video HiFormer™ liquid masterbatch technology can help brand owners and plastic converters optimize the coloration of plastics used in applications ranging from personal care, food and beverage, appliances to construction and toys

in conjunction with NPE 2018, widely recognized as the premier global exhibition for the plastics industry. Plastics Industry Association NPE is the world's leading plastics trade show and conference, assembling the full array of products, tools, equipment and resources in one efficient venue, providing total coverage of the innovative solutions and emerging technologies that are shaping the future of plastics.

Incorporating flame retardant additives can help mitigate fire hazards by increasing the ignition resistance of plastics, reducing the speed of flame spread, reducing heat release, and reducing smoke and fume generation. Chemical foaming agents are successfully used in plastics to cut weight from parts without compromising mechanical properties. They are available in liquid or solid form and can result in 10-20% less plastic needed.

CLEVELAND – Collaborating with customers to replace metal in LED lights earned PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL) recognition at the inaugural Polymers and Plastics Innovation Awards, presented by the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) Benelux Division. PolyOne took first place in the Best Lightweighting Innovation category for helping Ayfar Otomotiv to replace metal in LED headlights for off-road vehicles, and was awarded second place in the Plastics and Electronics category for replacing metal in architectural LED lighting made by Finnish lighting specialist Kruunutekniikka. 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.
