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.
