CLEVELAND – October 31, 2017 – PolyOne today launched OnColor™ Brilliant Metallic Colorants, a striking new line of special effect masterbatches that finally meet the need for paint replacement and premium surface finish. Uniquely shaped and sized particles enable these metallic shades to replicate the look of paint, and may even help customers to replace metal parts or plating for plastic parts. PHOTO CAPTION: OnColor™ Brilliant Metallic colorants from PolyOne are an effective choice for paint replacement on polymer parts where a high-quality metallic finish is desired. 

Replacing metal with PolyOne Therma-Tech™ conductive polymer enables Sylumis to manufacture the lamps more efficiently and with even more innovative designs. We have a wealth of experience in metal replacement projects, and Sylumis tapped into this knowledge to make its Orion LED lamp project a great success,” said Holger Kronimus, VP Europe and general manager, Specialty Engineered Materials, Europe for PolyOne. Quality, technical innovation and sustainability are the three pillars of our company, and collaborating with PolyOne on this metal replacement project helped us in all three areas,” added Jean-Luc Berthet-Bondet, director at Sylumis.

Low Density with High Stiffness and Strength Ideal for Replacing Metals  Long fiber reinforced thermoplastics are an excellent option to consider for metal replacement at a fraction of the weight. Webinar: Metal Replacement with LFTs

Artisan pre-colored thermoplastics are scratch-resistant formulations that mimic the look of paint and can be used as a paint replacement for superior results. Artisan™ high-gloss, metallic effect ABS formulation provided paint replacement solution to meet electronic applications needs Artisan™ high-gloss, pre-colored nylon (PA6) formulation provided paint replacement solution to meet brand needs

Complēt™ long carbon fiber reinforced nylon composite replaced aluminum to provide better fatigue resistance and reduce weight Complēt™ long carbon fiber reinforced nylon composite replaced metal steering column supports and lowered weight by 50% Metal replacement, design improvements and Complēt™ long fiber technology provide powerful solution for Bettcher Industries

Generally, replacing a metal component with a plastic one results in a 50 percent weight reduction, so the math is attractive to designers striving to reach Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) targets. Stop thinking one-for-one: Rather than looking for materials that can replace a metal part using the identical geometry, designers are now capitalizing on the additional freedom to form plastics into net shapes.
