We have a wealth of experience in metal replacement projects, and Sylumis tapped into this knowledge to make its Orion LED lamp project a great success,” said Holger Kronimus, VP Europe and general manager, Specialty Engineered Materials, Europe for PolyOne. Transitioning from metal to specialty engineered polymer solutions helps our customers meet their goals for efficient manufacturing, innovative design and weight savings.” The specialty polymer solution from PolyOne meets relevant safety standards, including a UL94-V0 flame class rating at 3mm thickness, and offers Sylumis significant production efficiencies via injection molding in place of metal forming.

The company expanded manufacturing capability to include specialty engineered materials last year. With the most recent addition of TPE production, PolyOne enables manufacturers to source all of their specialty polymer requirements from a single domestic source. PolyOne is exhibiting this week (Hall H2/Stand E6) at the Plastindia trade show in Ahmedabad, India, where it will be displaying applications that benefit from its TPEs and other specialty polymers.

Color Inspiration 2015 ignites the creative and imaginative design process as we collaborate with our customers,” said John Van Hulle, president, Global Color Additives and Inks, PolyOne Corporation.
