In the LED lighting space, PolyOne’s Resilience™ LS rigid vinyl polymers have achieved several breakthroughs in multiple market segments, including landscape lighting, vehicle lamps, UV-resistant pool and spa lighting, and architectural luminaires. The materials are formulated to meet applicable UL flame rating standards while also providing anti-yellowing performance, chemical resistance and outstanding light diffusion.

The cable sheathing formulation developed by PolyOne helped us to produce tougher, more chemically resistant cables for extreme conditions, while also meeting our high standards for quality and enabling strict regulatory compliance,” said Peter Gerstenberger, vice president for the Industrial Solutions business unit at LEONI. By working closely with LEONI we developed a highly-technical solution that offered the additional chemical resistance and durability they required,” commented Craig Nikrant, president, Global Specialty Engineered Materials, PolyOne Corporation.

CLEVELAND – Southern States LLC, a Georgia manufacturer of products for the electric utility industry, recently selected PolyOne’s industry- leading GlasArmor™ continuous glass-fiber composite panels to create its new custom Ballisti-Wall® and Ballisti-Cover® ballistic-resistant solutions. We are proud to work with them to help protect our nation’s infrastructure from physical threats.”  Southern States ballistic-resistant solutions incorporate three layers of GlasArmor panels to achieve Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Level 8 protection.

Particularly amenable to industrial applications, these TPEs provide excellent chemical and oil resistance, rubbery grip with matte finish, and are easily overmolded onto PC, ABS and PC / ABS in thin wall flow paths. Strong resistance to chemicals and oil

Lightweight, strong and durable, with good heat, flame and chemical resistance High strength and flexural fatigue resistance with minimal moisture absorption

Provides good stiffness, durability, impact resistance and UV stability Can eco-conscious materials also bring durability and heat resistance?

The shell would be made with a custom-formulated Synprene™ thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) blend that provides resistance to most common medications and is flexible enough for the fins to work as designed. With the dosing adapter in place, medication bottles also have an additional layer of child-resistance.

Scratch & mar performance, wear resistance, and abrasion resistance minimize the appearance of wear and tear through normal user interaction Thermoset materials perform better in applications that require a harder material with higher temperature resistance. The fatigue resistance, wear performance, chemical resistance, and sensitivity to stress cracking are considered poor.
