No matter the application, we have the experience and the appropriate solutions to help customers overcome their challenges,” commented Christoph Palm, general manager, Color & Additives EMEA & India, at PolyOne. Its additive solutions help manufacturers speed their production lines, limit shrinkage, protect cable from weathering and flames, and maintain physical properties over the life of an application.

In addition, the tests showed that a case made with Versaflex XP TPE dropped from 14 feet performs nearly the same as a TPU case dropped from 10 feet. Click here for a technical bulletin with additional details about the testing.

MANNHEIM, Germany – April 3, 2019 – This week at the Plastics in Automotive Engineering (PIAE) congress, PolyOne is presenting its deep portfolio of advanced polymers, colorants, and additives that help automotive manufacturers keep pace with changes in technology and consumer demand.

In addition, we were able to deliver improved flame retardance, enabling the integration of electronics in the booster pump control head to improve cost-effectiveness versus metal or glass-filled polymer alternatives.” In addition to booster pump control heads, the technology can be extended to pump housings, diffusers, impellers, water softeners, valves, actuators, flow meters, flanges, seal plates, motor mounting plates, motor lock rings, and union connectors.

These formulations were specifically developed to help automotive tier suppliers improve operating efficiencies in a challenging business environment,” said James Petrie, marketing director, PolyOne Color and Additives.

Our polymer solutions and engineering materials include colorants for identification and differentiation, additives for added properties and functionalities, and thermoplastics that can withstand harsh chemicals and reagents. Make your lab and POCT in vitro diagnostic devices safe, accurate and easy to use with healthcare dedicated color and additive polymer solutions and thermoplastics.

Stop thinking one-for-one: Rather than looking for materials that can replace a metal part using the identical geometry, designers are now capitalizing on the additional freedom to form plastics into net shapes. Knowledgeable suppliers can also open your eyes to material possibilities you may not have considered, either with new formulations or additives and fillers.
