All grades are formulated for durability, delivering property retention and UV resistance comparable to traditional TPEs.
With an opaque natural color, all reSound OM materials can either use traditional TPE colorants or be paired with sustainable colorants from PolyOne.
Caption: PolyOne introduces reSound™OM, bio-derived TPEs with 40 to 50 percent bio-renewable content derived from sugarcane.

Adding TPE production enables the company to support customers in the country even more quickly and with a broader portfolio of domestically manufactured materials.
With the most recent addition of TPE production, PolyOne enables manufacturers to source all of their specialty polymer requirements from a single domestic source.
We’re very excited to build upon our momentum in India with domestic production of TPEs,” said Vikas Vij, managing director India at PolyOne.
