HC360 magazine selected PolyOne as one of the outstanding leading brands committed to promoting the development of China’s plastics industry over the last year.

Many totes, or intermediate bulk containers (IBC), are made with rigid metal or polyethylene plastic caged within steel tubing.

Plastics In many ways, plastics are a perfect example of why a circular economy is so important. If not recycled properly, plastics can ends up in a landfill or, even worse, the ocean. Efforts can be made and systems can be built to keep discarded plastic in the economy to either be upcycled, recycled, reused or composted.

Upcycling Plastic for Children with Cancer Associates in Santo Amaro, Itupeva, and Suzano, Brazil, launched a sustainability challenge for the collection of PET bottles and plastic caps.

Why consider plastics in lieu of metal? Plastic Piping System Flapper Valve - Case Study

The plastic mass is then shaped into filaments, spun, and texturized into an already-dyed yarn. Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.

FRP pultrusions offer several advantages over traditional materials, like metals, ceramics, and unreinforced plastics. Pultruded composites offer a number of advantages over traditional metals and plastics. 

In each comparison, polyketone thermoplastics offer product engineers and designers a new tool in the product development toolbox for engineering plastics. A noticeable difference here is impact properties, which are improved for nylons since water plasticizes nylon and makes them more impact resistant.

GLS soft TPEs can be overmolded onto rigid plastic, metal, or other substrates using a variety of techniques, including: Overmolded parts will take longer to cool because the TPE is only cooled from one side as the plastic substrate has poor thermal conductivity.
