MANNHEIM, Germany – At the VDI Plastics in Automotive Engineering congress this week, PolyOne is introducing Smartbatch™ Fabric FX color and additive concentrate. In addition, fabric graining and color can be tailored to meet designers’ recommendations.  Smartbatch Fabric FX offers greater design flexibility, and creates attractive, ready-to-use parts that are easier to clean than textile-covered applications,” said Christoph Palm, vice president, general manager, Color and Additives EMEA & India for PolyOne.

PolyOne currently produces color and additive concentrates and engineered polymer solutions at the Pune facility. This investment at our facility in Pune answers customers’ desire for a domestic supplier able to offer expertise in color, engineered materials and thermoplastic elastomers,” said Craig Nikrant, president, Specialty Engineered Materials, PolyOne. PolyOne opened a new facility in Pune in 2014, initially focused on the production of colorant and additive concentrates to serve end markets such as transportation, electronics & electrical, healthcare, wire & cable, and packaging. 

It offers a practical way to improve your product’s surface look and feel, adds the possibility for custom color and sensory effects, and works with most substrates. TPEs are available in a wide array of colors and special effects that will amplify their sensory qualities and contribute to brand identity and shelf appeal. Specific TPE colors or textures can serve as a strategic branding tool and can replace expensive secondary painting or adhesion operations to achieve a similar look.

Colors Liquid colorants will produce transparent, translucent and tinted color. Solid colorants are better for generating highly opaque colors—including metallic, pearlescent and glow-in-the-dark colors—or patterns and effects, like marbling, wood or camouflage.
