– PolyOne GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers today announced its collaboration with Schneider Electric and Mobiya, a part of Schneider Electric’s Business, Investment and People for the Bottom of the Pyramid (BipBop) program. We are pleased to help Schneider Electric bring the basic necessity of light and power to those who need it,” said Walter Ripple, vice president and general manager, PolyOne GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers.

– PolyOne today announced a significant enhancement to existing thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) technology that will help products with nylon grips deliver superior resistance to oil and abrasion. Many products, from industrial tools to suitcases, use nylon grips that benefit greatly from the tactile qualities of overmolded TPEs,” said Charles Page, director of global marketing, PolyOne GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers.

ThermoBallistic thermoplastic panels are thermally formed with e-glass and thermoplastic resin systems, offering a cost-competitive alternative to ballistic-resistant materials made with other fibers or thermoset resins. Thermoplastic recycled-content composites can further support a circular economy and help customers lessen their environmental impact.

Based on earlier successful projects, the OEM design team turned to Avient for a selection of suitable thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs). A technical support team at Avient GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers conducted extensive compatibility testing to confirm proper bonding and overmolding onto the rigid substrate.

This includes introducing Cesa™ Non-PFAS Low-Retention Additives and launching an expanded NEUSoft™ Thermoplastic Polyurethanes (TPUs) portfolio with an express color palette.  Trilliant™ HC Healthcare Thermoplastics: These chemically resistant thermoplastics can withstand harsh environments, offering excellent toughness and durability for medical devices and components. Another sustainable portfolio example is Trilliant XR lead-replacement thermoplastics, which achieve critical radiation shielding protection yet avoid the regulatory, disposal, and employee exposure challenges associated with lead.

With PK, you can get engineered thermoplastic performance with an added benefit of a polyolefin carbon footprint. In each comparison, polyketone thermoplastics offer product engineers and designers a new tool in the product development toolbox for engineering plastics. If the material is allowed to stay in an injection molding machine or extruder (profile, sheet, etc.) too long, the material will start to discolor and brown ‘freckles’ may appear.
