The new formulations are Avient’s first PCR-containing TPE technology developed primarily for overmolding polycarbonate (PC), acrylic butadiene styrene (ABS), and PC/ABS blends in applications from consumer electronics, cosmetics packaging, and personal care items to power tools and toys. Consumers are more conscious of sustainability, and brand owners are seeking new material solutions to support their circular economy goals,” says Matt Mitchell, director of global marketing of Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. These materials are currently manufactured in Asia and are available globally.

Polystrand™ Tapes and Laminates reduce weight to improve fuel economy, and enable thin-walling and material reduction through reinforcement of traditional materials.  reSound™ Biopolymer Formulations combine engineering thermoplastic resins with bio-polymers such as PLA, PHB, PHBV and biopolyesters. OnColor™ BIO Colorants are based on biodegradable raw materials and perform well with bioplastics such as PLA, PHA, PHBV, PBS, PBAT and special blends of those materials.

DÜSSELDORF – April 16, 2018 – At Wire 2018 today, PolyOne announced its ECCOH™ non-halogen, highly flame-retardant polymers are helping wire and cable manufacturers meet new European Union (EU) construction product regulations (CPR). In addition, these proven materials comply with the newly harmonized EN 13501 EU standard for reaction to fire. PolyOne Corporation, with 2017 revenues of $3.2 billion, is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions.

PolyOne offers a full range of sustainable solutions that are WEEE and RoHS compliant. Our range of offerings is RoHS-compliant, with non-phthalate versions available for applications that must meet the most severe international regulatory standards. Our solutions for the industry include non-halogenated flame retardant solutions, RoHS-compliant materials for wire & cable, bio-derived solutions and more.

In addition, the base polymer is inherently resistant to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, harsh weather, oil, and gasoline. The redesigned Syncure material enables cable manufacturers to use a single resin for both vertical and horizontal cable systems, eliminating the need for a second material and associated costs and assembly time.
