However, this can impact colorability, which is a critical consideration when the look of the product needs to meet expectations amid the growing demand for sustainable products. PCR is raw material generated from consumer or end-user waste. Recycled content streams vary from lot to lot based on raw material sources

On display will be material solutions and services capable of meeting customer needs from concept and design through commercialization.  Avient is exhibiting at Plastimagen in Mexico City, Mexico, in booth 2114 from Tuesday, March 8 – Thursday, March 11, 2022. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

Working with PolyOne to transition from metal to plastic helped Resol increase its design options, lower overall weight and reduce manufacturing complexity, PolyOne was also able to help Resol achieve excellent aesthetics with molded-in color while eliminating the cost and hassles of painting. Based in Girona, Spain, the Resol furniture company includes Resinas Olot, a leading global manufacturer of plastic furniture for outdoor, office and residential use, and Plasfur by Resol, which offers injection molding and manufacturing services to customers in various industries.

Formulations are available with glass, carbon or specialty fiber reinforcements, including glass/carbon hybrids, in engineering polymers ranging from polypropylene to PEEK. PolyOne is showcasing long fiber thermoplastic technologies at its CMF Inspiration Wall (across from Hall 10.3 Entrance, Zone B) at CHINAPLAS 2019 from May 21-24.

At the time, the boot was injection molded from acrylonitrile-ethylene-styrene (AES) as a standalone part and assembled to the housing separately. At the same time, adding a softer material could increase damping performance, which can help power tool users avoid health issues such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendinitis related to constant vibration. Avient gathered detailed data from this customer’s production facility in Mexico and helped them calculate and compare the costs of the two solutions.

CLEVELAND – High-performance Bergamid™ polymer solutions from PolyOne recently received Underwriters Laboratories’ UL 746C (f1) certification, providing electrical components manufacturers a new way to expand their global footprint and market share.  The addition of this UL certification is a win for customers seeking polymer solutions that meet strict global standards, which help them increase speed to market for new products and expand into new geographies,” commented Holger Kronimus, vice president Europe and general manager, Specialty Engineered Materials, Europe for PolyOne. Expanded global formulation ranges are also available with UL746A (resistance to ignition from electrical sources) and UL746B (long-term thermal aging) certifications.  

The two-gram gasket is a critical component for keeping contact lens solution from leaking out of the container. But before making the decision to switch from silicone to the Versaflex material, the company needed to feel confident that it would recoup its capital, which included a $50,000 investment in new tooling, within 12 months.
