Dry silane formulations can be a cost-effective alternative to grafted compounds and other crosslinking technologies, and are more effective than peroxide crosslinking for manufacturing low voltage cable at high output. The technology adds value to many of the materials used in manufacturing wire and cable, including: •    LLDPE •    LDPE •    HDPE      •    MDPE •    EVA •    ECCOH™ LSFOH solutions

Bergamid™ / Edgetek™ Solutions for Laser Welding leverage innovative technology, enabling customers to manufacture high-performance parts with durable welds and smooth surfaces. Explore how one manufacturer shifted away from metal to improve products and save.

The concise Tech Talks at the PolyOne stand (Hall B5, Stand 5316) also offer practical tips to help manufacturers overcome challenges such as: Improving manufacturing efficiency by transitioning from metal to specialty thermoplastic solutions

Using an advanced soft grip Versaflex™ TPE material in the bowl, cup and spoon, the manufacturer was able to meet critical food contact regulations in both Japan and China while simultaneously delivering an experience that reinforces their brand reputation. In addition, this TPE material uses existing molds, eliminating the cost of new molds and reducing development time, enabling the manufacturer to enjoy more cost-efficient production without delay while driving brand growth.

As companies continue to widen their global manufacturing footprints, the demand for authentication technologies, especially in healthcare packaging, premium food packaging and consumer electronics is increasing,” said Say Eng Lee, general manager, PolyOne Color and Additives Asia. Percept technologies include formulation and consultative services to assist manufacturers and brand owners in confidently detecting whether their goods are authentic or are being counterfeited.

To meet these needs, pipe manufacturers bring in reinforcements: Avient’s thermoplastic composites.   Polystrand™ Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites provide a reinforcing layer within the high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe wall through thermal wrapping that is integrated into the pipe manufacturing processes.
