SHANGHAI – April 20, 2018 – Next week at CHINAPLAS, the largest plastics trade fair in Asia, PolyOne will showcase a variety of breakthrough polymers, colorants, and additives that are enabling manufacturers and designers to unlock new potential.  This striking new line finally meets the need for paint replacement and premium surface finish, and may even help customers to replace metal parts or plating for plastic parts.

The K show is the world’s largest plastics industry event. Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.  

Our new high-impact Gravi-Tech formulations can be customized to be as light as plastic or up to four times as heavy as aluminum with excellent weight distribution. Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.  

Technology Manager, LATAM Color, Additives, and Inks, at Avient, will speak on additives and the future of plastics in flexible packaging at 2 p.m. Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.

In addition to their use in standalone applications, TPEs can be overmolded onto a rigid plastic grip in an injection molding process to create a distinctive, cushioned feel without compromising the stiffness and strength of the underlying structure. When overmolded, GLS TPEs bond permanently and virtually seamlessly to many different plastic substrates, including polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), PC/ABS, copolyester, polyamide (nylon) and polystyrene (PS).

TPEs can be used alone, or these softer materials can be overmolded onto a rigid plastic substrate using co-injection or insert injection-molding technology. Specialized chemistries enable TPEs to adhere to many different plastic substrates, including polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), PC/ABS, copolyester, polyamide, and polystyrene, for a seamless and permanent bond.
