Design and production priorities for EV supply equipment Here are key priorities to consider in the design and production of future EVSE:   New charging stations are being designed with sustainability in mind.

The following are several ways to improve the surface aesthetics of your part design: Whether you select a hot runner or cold runner for your product design, gating can greatly change the aesthetics of your part.  When designing an overmold, allowing the steel of the second shot tool to crush into the substrate will hold the substrate in place, create a clean line between TPE and substrate, and create venting in locations where other vent methods will not work.

Through our materials science and formulation expertise, design capabilities, and deep market knowledge, we collaborate with our customers to develop solutions and services that can achieve the desired sustainable attributes while maintaining the performance levels needed for their applications. A circular economy aims to design out waste and pollution, keep products and materials in use, and regenerate natural systems. We enable a lower carbon footprint through technologies that promote lightweighting and design, improved recyclability, increased recycled content, and bio-derived solutions.

PolyOne’s collaboration with the WaterStep team improved product design and performance for WaterStep's M-100 water purification system. We are proud that our material and design support are contributing to WaterStep’s important relief work and global outreach.” This design will better serve disaster victims in the many countries that WaterStep reaches with our ongoing relief and humanitarian aid efforts.”

We’re excited to showcase our exceptional breadth of polymer solutions and design capabilities, which helps customers create distinctive packaging that combines innovative functionality with shelf impact,” said Darcy Meyers, global marketing director, packaging, PolyOne Corporation. Color and design services: InVisiO℠ services and solutions help evaluate color and design alternatives that accelerate and streamline the product development process while strengthening brand equity and generating marketplace excitement.

Brand owners who collaborate with PolyOne are taking advantage of Gravi-Tech™ Density Modified Formulations, metallic-effect GLS™ thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), and InVisiOSM Color and Design Services. Packaging can play a pivotal, influential role in a consumer’s perceived value of a product when designers use tailored materials and colorants that appeal to the senses,” said Darcy Meyers, marketing director for packaging at PolyOne. In addition, InVisiO designers work with brand owners to develop new color ranges and adapt existing color palettes to bring the brand’s vision to life.

Recently, we applied our material and design expertise to help a major appliance manufacturer reduce vibration on their latest top load washing machine model. In an experiment completed by this customers’ design team, switching to Versaflex VDT TPE reduced vibration of the appliance by 80 percent versus TPV,” said Michelle Hearn, global marketing director, Specialty Engineered Materials at PolyOne. PHOTO CAPTION: Supported by PolyOne’s material and design expertise, a major manufacturer switched to Versaflex VDT and reduced the vibration of their top load washing machine by 80 percent.
