Unlike metal, thermoplastics can also be molded into complex shapes that fit tight spaces. With thermoplastic parts, there is rarely a need for secondary processing steps such as coating, welding, drilling or painting.

SHANGHAI, China – PolyOne today announced that OnFlex™ LO thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) have received a 2016 China Industry Development and Innovation Award, from Automobile & Parts magazine, an influential industry journal. Consumer concerns and industry regulations have made vehicle interior air quality a major focus for automotive manufacturers,” said Woonkeat Moh, general manager, GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers Asia and Specialty Engineered Materials Asia for PolyOne.

When designing innovative consumer products, it is extremely important to protect brand equity and still deliver the performance and aesthetic characteristics that the end consumer desires," said Walter Ripple, vice president and general manager for PolyOne's thermoplastic elastomer business, GLS.

GLS™ Versaflex™ HC Thermoplastic Elastomers: Offers manufacturers design freedom, a simplified injection molding process, and streamlined production Trilliant™ HC Thermoplastics: High-performance formulations with excellent chemical resistance and durability for medical device enclosures.

Many car parts are painted, not just metal and thermoplastic exterior parts, but also thermoplastic parts in a vehicle’s interior,” notes Gary Fielding, vice president and general manager, Color and Additives EMEA at PolyOne.

POMMERLOCH, Luxembourg – June 17, 2020 – Today, PolyOne announced it is adding production of both post-industrial recycled nylon grades (Nymax™ PIR)  and bio-based thermoplastic elastomers (reSound™ OM) in Europe. reSound™ OM (overmolding) thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) utilize between 40 and 50 percent bio-renewable content derived from sugarcane, and offer hardness levels and performance comparable to standard TPEs.

But because ADAS housing applications are typically convection limited, custom formulated thermoplastics can do the job of dissipating heat exceptionally well. Damage from static electricity – Your electronics need protection from static buildup – specialty thermoplastics can be formulated to do a better job of dissipating unwanted static and therefore minimize the potential for damage to nearby electrical components.
