Chemical resistance that withstands fuels, oils and other harsh chemicals

These materials feature improved chemical resistance to trusted hospital-grade disinfectants over other flame-resistant (FR) polymers such as PC/ABS, PC/PET, and copolyester. By offering more robust solutions, we’re enabling healthcare OEMs to deliver more durable medical devices and equipment that resist chemical attack and serve patients longer.”

Altice has nearly 30 years of extensive experience, primarily focused on driving growth through innovative product development and commercial excellence at global specialty chemical companies. Altice holds a bachelor’s of science degree in chemical engineering from Missouri University of Science and Technology.

The cable sheathing formulation developed by PolyOne helped us to produce tougher, more chemically resistant cables for extreme conditions, while also meeting our high standards for quality and enabling strict regulatory compliance,” said Peter Gerstenberger, vice president for the Industrial Solutions business unit at LEONI. By working closely with LEONI we developed a highly-technical solution that offered the additional chemical resistance and durability they required,” commented Craig Nikrant, president, Global Specialty Engineered Materials, PolyOne Corporation.

Countries have begun establishing regulations and guidelines regarding acceptable levels of chemical concentration in automobiles, and the automotive industry is also leading the change. As a result, chemical emissions testing and reporting is now a requirement for most major automotive manufacturers.

Solutions range from non-halogen, flame retardant, and low smoke, to oil/chemical resistant and high-temperature materials.     Additional formulations for vinyl, color concentrates, cross-linkable PVdF, and FEP/PVdF chemical foaming additives.

Our new material will play an important role in minimizing further off-gassing of chemicals to help automakers create a healthier, more enjoyable vehicle environment.” Fogging of windows can impair visibility, while odor can be offensive or cause allergic or respiratory reactions. http://www.ecocenter.org/article/news-ecolink-press-releases/new-ecology-center-guide-toxic-chemicals-cars-helps-consumers To access PolyOne’s news library online, please go to www.polyone.com/news.

Solutions to help reduce carbon footprint by lightweighting using recycled materials in injection molded and extruded applications for automotive and consumer goods industries, such as Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents developed to reduce material consumption, part weight, and cycle times while maintaining excellent surface finish and eliminating sink marks, and can also serve as nucleating additives in direct gassing foam extrusion processes  Colorant Chromatics™ Conductive Formulations: for controlled dispersion and high-quality carbon black to enable high-temperature extrusion and molding processes with higher line speed and no drool for critical applications in the petroleum and the chemical processing industry. OnFlex™ TPEs: offer high thermal, chemical, and mechanical property profiles with low odor for demanding applications in transportation, including OnFlex AF 7210-70 for automotive components with low volatile organic compounds (VOCs), low fog, and lower density compared to previous material grades, plus excellent low-gloss surface finish and soft touch for high-quality aesthetics
