Forward-looking statements give current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not guarantees of future performance. They use words such as "will," “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial condition, performance and/or sales. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions; prospective changes in raw material costs, product pricing or product demand; future performance; estimated capital expenditures; results of current and anticipated market conditions and market strategies; sales efforts; expenses; the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings and environmental liabilities; and financial results.

Surface energy match between the thermoplastic elastomers and the rigid thermoplastic substrate 2. Another important variable is the wettability of the TPE on the substrate surface. A single TPE chemistry can not bond to all the rigid plastic substrates as evidenced by the surface energies demonstrated in Figure 1.

The hose manufacturer decided to explore other material options that would meet requirements such as excellent colorability, good surface appearance, high flow for optimal productivity, and of course, compliance with U.S. In addition to its excellent colorability and high flow, the Versalloy solution possessed a lower specific gravity and resulted in lower scrap rates compared to the competitive TPV, providing the opportunity to reduce system costs. Higher productivity: The improved flow properties of the Versalloy solution enabled the hose manufacturer to increase throughput by two seconds, which in turn reduced total system costs.

The new Edgetek formulations also can help electronic component manufacturers to miniaturize mechanical and electrical (also known as mechatronics) systems, even in high heat manufacturing processes, such as SMT (surface mount technology). Sectors related to 5G, including infrastructure, will drive future applications that create high demand for 3D MID (LDS) technology and materials.

They offer additional characteristics such as high temperature sealing performance, matte surface finish, and low density. OnColor™ Brilliant: striking new line of special effect masterbatches that finally meet the need for paint replacement and premium surface finish. In addition, PolyOne will showcase solutions for leveraging the rise of advanced driver assist systems (ADAS) and the overall electrification trend in transportation.

Surfaces protected include steel, wood, painted metal, and other substrates with high aesthetic requirements. It offers high initial adhesion on steel, rigid plastics such as PMMA (polymerized methyl methacrylate), and other surfaces, but with lower build-up of adhesive residue over time, a lower unwinding force, and better stability.
