Innovator of Materials Solutions Why Materials Matter for Why Materials Matter for

In addition to developing the right materials, the teams worked closely to transition all aspects of manufacturing using the new materials. The switch to new materials allowed Kalas to not only stay in the European market, but to expand its presence and enhance its sustainability profile. Competitive advantage in existing and new markets: Kalas was able to complete its conversion to lead-free wire and cable materials ahead of its competitors.

We used our expertise in formulating innovative materials for demanding appliance and electronic applications to develop this family of Geon HC materials, which offer superior chemical resistance to many of the strongest medical disinfectants.” In addition, Geon HC materials offer excellent flame resistance, impact resistance and flow properties. PolyOne Corporation, with 2013 revenues of $3.8 billion, is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions.

Two innovative materials from PolyOne are featured in Schneider’s Multifix™ Air home electrical installations. This project highlights Schneider as a leader in eco-conscious design, and demonstrates the importance of materials that reinforce these efforts while maximizing production efficiency,” commented Holger Kronimus, vice president Europe and general manager, Specialty Engineered Materials, Europe at PolyOne. In addition to its non-halogen formulation, the regulatory-compliant Maxxam solution has a lower density than traditional materials, which reduces material consumption and housing weight for greater production efficiency.

These formulations contain up to 100% recycled materials, such as nylon carpets, and can be used in applications such as automotive under-the-hood parts. Expanding production of these grades to Istanbul, using locally sourced recycled content, means we can offer Turkish and Middle Eastern countries these REACH-compliant solutions while helping to reduce the environmental impact of transporting these materials,” said Matt Mitchell, Director, Global Marketing of Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. By using recycled materials, these formulations can also offer lower Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) values than virgin nylon equivalents.
