SHANGHAI – At Chinaplas 2014, PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL), a premier global provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions, will introduce OnCap™ Light Shield additives for clear packaging. In some cases, using OnCap Light Shield additives can also eliminate the need to have an extra coating or layer, reducing material usage for increased sustainability. PolyOne Corporation, with 2013 revenues of $3.8 billion, is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions.

We can offer fresh approaches to challenges in lightweighting, sustainability, thermal management and more,” said Holger Kronimus, vice president Europe and general manager, Specialty Engineered Materials, Europe for PolyOne.

But as carmakers juggle new materials to find the right balance of comfort and cost, it becomes more difficult to maintain color consistency. The judicious use of color masterbatch, additives to provide texture to a part, and other color and additive formulations enable manufacturers to realize innovative color matching even as they incorporate new materials into the mix. But beware: Matching colors on disparate materials, such as textiles and molded polymers, is not an easy task.

But to do so, they needed to find a material that could deliver a fast reaction time -- a runner’s foot-strike time is 40-50 milliseconds from heel to toe – and the ability to both absorb energy and offer top-notch energy return properties. Working together, teams from both companies created a customized TPE material that matched the performance of the Brooks TPE blend. The components and materials were carefully designed and engineered to work together properly and optimized for geometry, thickness, flexibility and performance.”
