Injection molding the closure from this material, called Gravi-Tech™, would provide the look, feel and sound of metal and maintain a premium perception. Switching from metal forming to injection molding would also enable processing cost savings and expanded design freedom.

It’s integral to design as artists respond to shifts – in the economy, in politics, and especially in culture. Color Inspirations 2019+ examines the once and future progression of art and design. Artists and designers experiment with different materials to create “handmade” craft impression.

These silicone paste colorants are single-pigment or custom-made dispersions using a silicone carrier developed for liquid silicone rubber (LSR) injection molding applications. They can be used in one-component and two-component Room Temperature Vulcanization (RTV) systems and two-part Liquid Injection Molding (LIM) systems.

POMMERLOCH, Luxembourg – May 25, 2020 – PolyOne recently collaborated with a leading global automotive OEM and its injection molder to eliminate paint from a new vehicle’s interior. Suitable for standard injection molding machinery, Smartbatch FX reduces the cost per part by 30 percent or more compared to painted parts.
