Engineered Polymers Polymer Additives Polymer Colorants

It can be incorporated into many types of polymers, including ABS and PC/ABS.  Fabric graining and color can be tailored to achieve color harmony with the complete finished part. Polymer Colorants

Compliant to the NEK 606 specification, they can be used for OFC, power and data cables in shipbuilding, and offshore applications. OnColor™ Colorants for Wire & Cable are non-halogenated color concentrates, particularly useful to color non-halogenated flame retardant formulations. Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming and Nucleating Agents can help achieve high levels of foaming without the use of hazardous chemicals.

FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Germany – October 16, 2018 – At the Fakuma trade fair today, PolyOne revealed its newest collection of on-trend colors for polymers, called Shades of Nature. As part of the OnColor™ Polymer Colorants masterbatch portfolio, this group of ten masterbatch colorants enables plastic to mimic naturally occurring materials such as stone, marble, and granite. Colors can be processed using standard equipment, are available in standard finishes, and can also be customized in various polymers or recycled resins for multiple applications.

Additives and Colorants for Stadium and Arena Seats Over time arena seats can be susceptible to loss of mechanical properties and color fading due to sun exposure. UV stabilizers help protect polymers from the negative effects of sunlight and preserve aesthetic and mechnical properties. Additionally, some countries have stringent local fire safety standards for arena and stadium seating, which call for plastics with improved flame retardancy properties, achieved with flame retardant additives.

These new materials meet or exceed OEM airbag safety requirements for instrument panels and provides up to 15% faster cycle times and 35% lower scrap rates, when compared to standard materials. Premium surfaces: OnColor™ FX Granite colorants – creating a premium fabric look on surfaces that utilize molded-in texture PolyOne Corporation, with 2013 revenues of $3.8 billion, is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions.

This rigid vinyl formulation is designed to provide low maintenance performance and long-lasting color in outdoor settings. We’re able to push the service envelope with in-house capabilities supporting design and color selection to drive successful commercialization of their products.” Photo Copyright: Hinkley Lighting Photo Caption: The NuVi™ light leverages polymer technology for lasting performance
