Add water blocking strength reinforcement to dry cable designs Technical information, design guides, processing information and more. Fiber-Line™ engineered fiber solutions are designed to meet the most specific and demanding requirements

Its design team determined the need for a soft-touch material with strong chemical resistance and color stability for the mouse grip.  Based on earlier successful projects, the OEM design team turned to Avient for a selection of suitable thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs). For the mouse feet, Avient formulated a special grade of LubriOne™ filled acetal as an improvement over the neat acetal found in traditional designs.

At Packaging of Perfume Cosmetics & Design (PCD, booth #AB17), the company is illustrating the impact of soft-touch TPEs with gold, silver and copper effects and featuring an inspirational portfolio based on the 2017 InVisiOSM Color Inspiration Wanderlust collection from PolyOne Color and Additives.  As the popularity of the metallic look continues to soar, packaging designers are looking for new ways to capitalize on this trend,” said Charles Page, global marketing director, PolyOne GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers.

Additionally, Versaflex FFC helps address the challenges associated with the global silicone rubber supply chain and can help design engineers get new products to market more quickly. However, compliance does not depend solely on the right polymer formulation, but also on the design of the finished article. Avient’s expertise lies not only in formulation development but also in helping customers optimize their product design and increase the likelihood that the end product will be compliant.

These advanced materials will help increase speed to market and design flexibility for 5G base station antenna manufacturers. New customizable Edgetek Formulations for 5G feature specific Dk values and reduced dissipation factors (Df), enabling faster design qualification and shorter lead times. Both materials can help 5G base station antenna manufactures to streamline their design and process development.

The Karibu bathtub is designed for the space limitations of city living and for convenience when traveling. The patented foldaway design enables easy storage without sacrificing a full-size tub for infants. Designers chose Versaflex TPE to mold the folding portion of the tub and provide a non-slip surface on the bottom of the tub legs.

MANNHEIM, Germany – PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL), a premier global provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions, is exhibiting its specialty portfolio of technologies to automotive designers and engineers this week at the 2014 VDI Plastics in Automotive Engineering conference.  PolyOne is also exhibiting several specialty materials that help automotive designers to optimize sustainability, improve design freedom and boost manufacturing efficiency in the following areas: Vibration and noise control: By replacing traditional rubber and other thermosets, GLS™ TPE formulations tackle noise and vibration issues on exterior mirrors and other parts, while providing functional sealing, greater design freedom, and part consolidation through overmolding.
