CLEVELAND – June 11, 2018 – PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL) today unveiled the first-ever thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material able to resist blue jean staining for white and light-colored phone cases. Using Versaflex™ CE 3320-70 TPE helps brands avoid the sourcing and manufacturing issues of silicone, and it is the only thermoplastic material that stands up to blue jean staining when used in white and light-colored phone cases. This new Versaflex offering can be pre-colored to specifications or used with a PolyOne OnColor™ masterbatch colorant.

    Color concentrates and formulations developed specifically for healthcare applications in a range of polymers and based on ingredients that meet or exceed requirements for regulations such as USP Class VI, ISO10993   •    Functional additive concentrates and formulations with the same regulatory features as the colorant range to enhance polymer properties or help protect pharmaceutical products     Colorant Chromatics white colorants for high temperature polymers such as PPSU, PES, PSU and PEI to enhance aesthetics and performance of medical devices

Dynaflex™ G2711 – Highly colorable solution for overmolding onto PP. 47 Shore A, Natural, colorable solution Versaflex™ OM 1000 Series – Colorable overmolding solution

This allows our customers the choice of a masterbatch concentrate or pre-colored material that best fits their production process, yet still offers the benefits of our ‘Controlled, Consistent, Compliant’ customized solutions.”  Demand from local and regional customers for pre-colored Mevopur materials stems from an increase in the Asia Pacific market for medical and diagnostic devices and pharmaceutical packaging. Mevopur pre-colored specialty materials are available in a wide range of polymer families.

PolyOne’s packaging solutions, including both color and material options, work to engage consumers by creating an indulgent brand experience.  In addition, PolyOne’s talented InVisiO™ designers are able to apply extensive polymer and colorant expertise to bring cosmetic packaging to life.
