Smith & Wesson Precision Components (SWPC), a leading injection molder and longtime PolyOne Distribution customer, began working with Rapid Oxygen to produce plastic components for the R15. It illustrates how early involvement and close collaboration enable our customers to stay focused on their device’s efficacy, while relying on our team’s expertise to navigate and solve part design, regulatory and manufacturing process challenges.” The Rapid Oxygen Company (ROC) develops, designs, manufactures and sells portable oxygen generators for emergency use.

In contrast to traditional painting processes, injection molding with metallic effect pre-colored thermoplastic materials has lower energy requirements and lower VOC emissions, making these Colorant Chromatics pre-colored solutions more sustainable. Our newest metallic effect pre-colored sulfone formulations, developed to emulate finishes that use metal without the weight, can help design engineers address these trends by achieving heat and chemical resistance, increasing design freedom, and eliminating the need for secondary processing.”
