CLEVELAND – PolyOne Corporation (NYSE:POL) has launched a new overmolding technology based on its Versaflex™ VDT thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), developed for vibration and impact damping applications. Customers familiar with our Versaflex VDT material have asked for an overmolding variation that expands their design freedom and facilitates their product development processes,” said Craig Nikrant, president, Global Specialty Engineered Materials, PolyOne Corporation.

PolyOne GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers recently worked with one of the largest infant care brands in Japan to develop a new feeding set for infants and toddlers. In addition, this TPE material uses existing molds, eliminating the cost of new molds and reducing development time, enabling the manufacturer to enjoy more cost-efficient production without delay while driving brand growth.
