CLEVELAND – In response to growing customer demand for metal replacement, PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL) is expanding capacity for its OnForce™ LFT long-fiber specialty thermoplastics. PolyOne’s robust glass- and carbon fiber-filled formulations retain aesthetic appeal in metal replacement and structural applications, while also offering  higher stiffness, impact strength and surface finish than short-fiber filled materials.

The world’s strongest fiber™ just got stronger, thanks to next-generation material developments Beyond strength, Dyneema® SB301 has the additional advantage of being made from bio-based Dyneema® fiber, which enables a carbon footprint up to 90% lower than generic high modulus polyethylene (HMPE) fiber.
