Consumer and business expectations for high-speed connectivity will continue to drive demand for optical fiber cable to carry voice and data transmissions,” said Holger Kronimus, VP and general manager Europe, Specialty Engineered Materials, at PolyOne.

Based on color science and proven by scientific data, the digital tool can decrease complexity where different grades of PCR are used and is able to help optimize the ratio of virgin resin to PCR, in order to achieve the best acceptable rendering. 

These new materials can help manufacturers to meet consumer expectations such as higher capacity, faster data transfer speeds, and coverage in high density areas.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: On pace for exponential growth, 5G technology is becoming the standard for a fully mobile and networked society through larger data capacity, faster speeds and lower latency.

These custom-engineered products are available with a wide variety of core materials, including end-grain balsa, foam or engineered woods and laminate face-sheets with continuous fiberglass and/or carbon fiber reinforced polyester, vinyl ester and epoxy or custom resins.

The company noted that proceeds from the sale will be used to strengthen its balance sheet and fund future growth initiatives, including investing in sustainable solutions and specialty acquisitions.
