Anisotropy is caused when the polymer chains orient in the direction of flow, which leads to higher physical properties in the flow direction. Some grades, such as OnFlex™ G7700s and G7800s, and Dynaflex™ G7900s contain filler, which reduces their shrinkage.

Each of these properties satisfies key requirements for the application, which includes both aesthetic and performance criteria. In addition, the high flow properties allow Jager to run the material in a TandemMold (a patented product of T/Mould GmbH), which effectively doubles production volume, as well as lowers energy and related production costs by up to 40%.

Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint  

Bolstering PolyOne’s existing portfolio of thermoset composite solutions is the acquisition of Gordon Composites, which develops high strength profiles and laminates for use in vertical and crossbow archery, sports and recreation equipment, prosthetics, and office furniture systems.   They are great additions to our growing specialty portfolio, which remains unmatched in the industry,” said Robert M.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a need for greater numbers of personal protective equipment like face masks more than ever before, which resulted in a global shortage that stood at unprecedented levels.

Lactra™ SX provided the customer with highperformance light blocking capabilities, which enabled them to meet their sustainability goal of creating more recyclable package. 

It also needed to have high clarity, which created a significant problem: existing materials provided clarity, but not the necessary stiffness.

Gaskets and stoppers can benefit from our Versaflex™ HC TPEs, which feature no coring and high resealability for dynamic and static seals and stoppers.

In addition, the new material provides anti-static properties and low VOC levels, which helps the system adhere to regulations such as the Vehicle Interior Air Quality (VIAQ) standard.
