CLEVELAND – Innovative technologies from PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL), a premier global provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions, have enabled Citroën to launch groundbreaking Airbump® exterior protective panels on the new C4 Cactus passenger car. Citroën notes that this will reduce the cost of vehicle ownership by reducing damage due to everyday bumps, such as those from shopping carts or the doors of other vehicles.

Demand from local and regional customers for pre-colored Mevopur materials stems from an increase in the Asia Pacific market for medical and diagnostic devices and pharmaceutical packaging.

In addition, experts from the company will make 15-minute Tech Talk presentations daily at the PolyOne exhibit (Hall B5, Stand 5316) to help plastics processors quickly learn more about these advanced technologies. The Fakuma trade show will take place in Friedrichshafen, Germany from October 13-17, 2015.

CAPTION: OnCap Light Shield technology from PolyOne protects the contents of clear packaging from degradation due to ultraviolet and visible light.

Protect your wire and cable or other products from rats, or termites with these low-concern masterbatches. As a substitute for metallic armor, glass roving or special engineering polymers such as PA12, which are often adopted to protect cables from hostile animals, anti-termite and anti-rat additive concentrates provide a cost-effective alternative to other methods.

From research and development to commercial platforms, we provide solutions for a host of catheter applications, including cardiovascular, intravenous, neurological and specialty segments. Our custom formulations draw from a variety of base resins, additives and colors to achieve performance attributes that solve your most complex material problems.

Consistent We employ processes to ensure the same products are available from any production facility, meeting the same technical, regulatory and quality requirements. Harmonized product formulations available from all three Centers of Competence.

Engineered polymers can be designed with specific thermal properties, possessing either excellent thermal conductivity or enabling efficient heat dissipation from the battery cells. Thermally conductive formulations can also be electrically isolative or conductive, combining thermal performance with protection from electrostatic discharge and electromagnetic interference, depending on the needs of the specific component. 

These braces, traditionally made with steel, were initially fabricated from aluminum for a solid weight savings of 3 kg per vehicle over steel versions. For the brace, Avient's engineering team developed and analyzed three options: a unidirectional, hybrid carbon and glass fiber profile; a unidirectional carbon fiber profile; and finally, a profile made with both a unidirectional carbon fiber and a transverse engineered fabric, which had the advantage of minimizing any potential cracks from propagating.
