Additional highlights at the show include various high-temperature colorants and color services, such as: Colorant Chromatics™ Conductive Formulations: for controlled dispersion and high-quality carbon black to enable high-temperature extrusion and molding processes with higher line speed and no drool for critical applications in the petroleum and the chemical processing industry. ColorForward™ 2026: an annual color trend forecasting guide for the plastics industry developed based on global societal trends to support the development of impactful aesthetics for new consumer products.

We continuously monitor these global emerging regulations and the impact to our product portfolio. Such lists include REACH Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) candidate list, U.S. Polymeric, high molecular weight fluoropolymers are too large to cross biological membranes.

This is especially true for public, high-touch surfaces that are being wiped or sprayed at increasing rates. Available in unfilled, impact-modified, and flame-retardant grades, these formulations deliver performance that is comparable to PC blends and well suited to high-touch applications, such as point-of-sale devices.

These are high clarity TPEs with high tensile and tear properties. High molecular weight SBC is highly elastic and hence high shear stress is built at the surface even at very low shear rate. For application at high stress and high temperature, a stress loading similar to application environment is preferred.

There is also a shift from polypropylene (PP) to high-density polyethylene (HDPE) closures, where post-consumer resin is more readily available. It can adversely affect quality and performance, impacting functionality and safety. Impact modifiers can solve this physical property loss by improving the strength of PCR materials  

Formulated with between 20 and 100 percent post-industrial nylon materials, such as recycled carpet, Nymax™ PIR post-industrial recycled nylon offers comparable performance to prime nylon grades, including high strength, durability, impact resistance, and weather resistance. As a result, this material is an excellent alternative to prime nylon in many industries and applications, including automotive, outdoor high performance and industrial.

The hose manufacturer decided to explore other material options that would meet requirements such as excellent colorability, good surface appearance, high flow for optimal productivity, and of course, compliance with U.S. In addition to its excellent colorability and high flow, the Versalloy solution possessed a lower specific gravity and resulted in lower scrap rates compared to the competitive TPV, providing the opportunity to reduce system costs. The Impact

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.  Newly certified Bergamid materials also provide the strength, impact resistance and durability that electrical housings, switches and other outdoor electrical demand. Caption: New UL certification for Bergamid™ high-performance solutions helps manufacturers meet global standards for outdoor electrical devices.

This material offers durability levels far greater than those of acrylic, with a notched Izod impact strength of 18.4 ft-lb/in, and a heat deflection temperature of 185°F at 264 psi. With the high reflectivity of chrome, it enhances visual appeal while still meeting tough performance requirements.”                                                   Editors: For a high-resolution image, please click here: UltraTuf SG Chrome
