The OEM aimed to boost penetration in this market category by creating a new higher-performing mouse that offered added comfort and features aimed at an enhanced user experience. The manufacturer sought high-performance material solutions to create these features and significantly improve the computer user’s experience. Avient and the manufacturer conducted a series of molding trials to establish proper part performance, and the teams also coordinated sales, engineering and technical support in tandem.

Creating specialty materials that reduce carbon emissions at the beginning of the product life cycle is one way we can support customers in fulfilling sustainability commitments and maintain critical performance demands.”   The 71 Shore A formulation provides critical application performance such as weldability, kink resistance, and tensile strength comparable to leading medical tubing materials, including silicone and standard TPEs. Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™, enables unmatched levels of performance and protection for end-use applications, including ballistic personal protection, marine and sustainable infrastructure and outdoor sports  

These specialty polymers are formulated to meet UL flame rating standards while also providing anti-yellowing performance, protection from chemicals and outstanding clarity. Favorable market forces are combining with our leading portfolio of materials and services in flame-retardant innovation to give customers a convincing value proposition,” said Jim Mattey, marketing director, Performance Products and Solutions at PolyOne.  As a result, we are at the forefront of helping LED lighting manufacturers innovate by increasing performance and durability, expanding design options, and streamlining production.”

In addition, they maintain performance at reduced wall thickness and are easily colorable. This growth will, in turn, drive the demand for high performing wire and cable materials. Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic

But we’re committed to leading the industry by offering sustainable options even in our performance-critical materials like long fiber composites.” Complēt™ R nylon 6 long fiber composites provide stiffness, strength, and toughness performance on par with standard nylon 6 long fiber formulations using virgin resin, giving these materials the structural capability necessary to be used as an alternative to metals. Levels of post-consumer resin content vary within the offerings, which allows end products to meet different performance and sustainability requirements.  

Designers selected a custom grade of Bergamid™ high performance polymer from PolyOne for the sheath. PolyOne is committed to delivering the ultimate polymer materials for manufacturers of outdoor products and solutions, collaborating with these customers to improve the function of high performance, high stakes equipment.
