Color Inspirations 2019+ examines the once and future progression of art and design. Palettes across unexpected product categories are inspired by these materials. Artists and designers experiment with different materials to create “handmade” craft impression.

ANAHEIM, Calif. – February 4, 2019 – At Medical Design and Manufacturing (MD&M) West this week, PolyOne is highlighting its extensive portfolio of polymers, functional additives, and colorants for the healthcare industry while also featuring its “More Than Materials” approach to helping customers tackle their most important materials challenges. This project combined PolyOne’s strengths and expertise – distributed medical-grade materials, FDA-compliant colorants, pre-colored medical grade polymers, and design and processing support – to create color consistency and accelerated product development for the Dexcom G6 CGM. In addition, PolyOne’s distribution business unit recently collaborated with material supplier Covestro to produce an original eBook, titled, “TrendWatch™ Materials Matter for Connected Health,” which offers insights into the IoMT (Internet of Medical Things) landscape and implications for material selection and design.
