While most batteries are traditionally metal-based, there are significant advantages to using polymers (plastics) instead, especially with recent advancements in polymer science that make using these materials in electric vehicle batteries possible. Design and Processing Flexibility: The versatility of plastic opens up new avenues for battery design and integration within electric vehicles.

PolyOne is presenting its extensive materials portfolio during this week's Plastics In Automotive Engineering (PIAE) conference.  PolyOne is exhibiting at Stand 95 at the Plastics in Automotive Engineering conference, a premier automotive event for the European automotive industry.

They completed the metal-to-plastics transition in less than four months – bringing production in-house while using the same tooling. In 2013, the Mars LED assembly was honored as a finalist in the annual Automotive Innovation Awards competition of the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE).

When molded into plastic parts, manufacturers can eliminate painting and its associated processing steps for lower cost and longer-lasting, highly reflective surfaces.” 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.

MANNHEIM, Germany – April 3, 2019 – This week at the Plastics in Automotive Engineering (PIAE) congress, PolyOne is presenting its deep portfolio of advanced polymers, colorants, and additives that help automotive manufacturers keep pace with changes in technology and consumer demand. PolyOne welcomes visitors to Stand 95 at the Plastics in Automotive Engineering conference, a premier automotive event for the European automotive industry.
