Color Inspirations 2016 is just one of the exciting elements from InVisiO Color and Design Services, which leverages comprehensive color and materials resources from PolyOne to drive innovation in plastic product development.

One such application includes the underbody braces that contribute to vehicle stability. 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.

Fueling this growth, in part, are public commitments from brands across a range of industries to increase their use of recycled plastics. reSound™ OM (overmolding) thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) utilize between 40 and 50 percent bio-renewable content derived from sugarcane, and offer hardness levels and performance comparable to standard TPEs. Consisting of four overmolding grades compatible with rigid polypropylene and one suited to ABS, all grades are formulated for durability, property retention, and UV resistance comparable to traditional TPEs.

One way to amp up your vehicle interiors? And it needed to match the Audi Q5 interior colors while offering protection from both direct and indirect sunlight. It offered low-temperature flexibility, good abrasion resistance, excellent colorability, and resistance to attack from UV radiation – ticking off every check box on the Jäger team’s wish list.

OnColor™ REC Polymer Colorants are color concentrates derived from a recovered carbon black as opposed to using traditional carbon black. OnColor REC is formulated using recycled content, such as end-of-life tires, thereby preventing tires from entering the waste stream.

Depending on the cable construction, fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) is the preferred polymer used for insulation of a conductor or as jacketing of one or more cables. Some of the information arises from laboratory work with small-scale equipment which may not provide a reliable indication of performance or properties obtained or obtainable on larger-scale equipment. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

THE CHALLENGE Any military organization’s top priority is protecting soldiers, and one necessary measure is critical battlefield defense from enemy fire and explosive events. They are constructed from layers of 0°/90° woven E-glass fiber reinforcements combined with a proprietary resin system in a continuous pultrusion manufacturing process. With our hardware fabrication capabilities and Avient’s knowledge of composite ballistic protection technology, we were able to create modular systems that reduce time and logistic requirements for our brave soldiers.” 1 https://www.erdc.usace.army.mil/Missions/Military-Engineering/Deployable-Force-Protection-Demo/ To learn more about ballistic resistant solutions from Avient, visit avient.com or click to request a quote.
