In addition, some specialized products are produced in internally-certified sites operating under the same ISO13485 Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). Internal ISO13485 GMP is in operation at two additional specialist sites in Europe.

In addition to a boost in design capabilities, our new stain-resistant TPEs also offer the supply chain flexibility and ease of processing that brands require to bring their white and light-colored phone cases to market both quickly and cost effectively.” In addition to blue jean stain resistance, the new Versaflex CE material provides the performance manufacturers expect from a consumer material.

In addition, the tests showed that a case made with Versaflex XP TPE dropped from 14 feet performs nearly the same as a TPU case dropped from 10 feet. Click here for a technical bulletin with additional details about the testing.

In addition, we were able to deliver improved flame retardance, enabling the integration of electronics in the booster pump control head to improve cost-effectiveness versus metal or glass-filled polymer alternatives.” In addition to booster pump control heads, the technology can be extended to pump housings, diffusers, impellers, water softeners, valves, actuators, flow meters, flanges, seal plates, motor mounting plates, motor lock rings, and union connectors.

To meet new European Union targets for CO2 emissions on new vehicles, many in the automotive industry are looking for ways to remove additional weight. OnColor™ color and additive concentrates help manufacturers transition away from paint to in-mold color (IMC) solutions that maintain aesthetic qualities while eliminating production steps.  

To better serve these customers, PolyOne has developed this industry-specific collection to focus on the color palettes most applicable for transportation applications,” said Fernando Sanchez, director, global marketing, PolyOne Global Color and Additives. The InVisiO Color Inspiration special collection for the transportation industry will expand as PolyOne continues to work closely with designers and identify additional new color-inspired trends.
