OnForce™ Long Glass Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene Composites Polymer Colorants Color Cosmetics

Bob Lee, marketing director, Color & Additives Asia, will present “Color Matters,” an exploration of the way color affects consumers plus the Asia unveiling of PolyOne’s newest Color Inspirations 2020 Visionary collection. Long Fiber Thermoplastic formulations that can replace metal and remove weight, inspiring designers to create stronger, tougher and lighter products with better performance. 2020 Color Inspiration Visionary Collection is aligned with global megatrends and includes four progressive and dynamic color palettes.

Holds multiple optical fibers 3. Optical fibers –Two parts of an optical fiber: core (carries the signal and cladding (reflects the signal to move it forward). Ripcords • Lubricated, color coated, various fibers • Rips through any material including steel armor • Made from Kevlar, Vectran LCP or PET polyester 12.
