Antimicrobial and antifungal additives can protect the user interfaces and touchpoints from mold, mildew, and bacteria, while antistatic and conductive formulations can prevent static discharge and create safer, statically dissipated plastic parts.   Lastly, molded-in color (MIC) metallics offer a means of eliminating paint resulting in reduced VOCs and fewer processing steps for energy savings and a lower carbon footprint.  

The material facilitates two-shot molding, a highly efficient manufacturing process that eliminates time-consuming, high-cost assembly. Avient and the manufacturer conducted a series of molding trials to establish proper part performance, and the teams also coordinated sales, engineering and technical support in tandem.

We’ve helped numerous customers maintain a high part quality as they transition from paint to using molded-in colors.  Learn how molded-in color can offer the same eye-popping effects of paint at a greater efficiency and lower cost.

PolyOne supported the design and production engineers at Sylumis with thermal simulation and mold filling analysis to help the manufacturer optimize the geometry, heat transfer and manufacturability of the heat sinks. The specialty polymer solution from PolyOne meets relevant safety standards, including a UL94-V0 flame class rating at 3mm thickness, and offers Sylumis significant production efficiencies via injection molding in place of metal forming.
