What we do: Materials Science Protective Materials Sustainable Materials Portfolio

Inventory management: Producing plastisol in-house means managing all of the needed raw materials internally. You’ll need to account for added inventory planning steps and raw material delivery cycles. We have technical expertise and a core competency working with plastisol materials, and can offer options for your specific needs.

MANNHEIM, Germany – PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL), a premier global provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions, is exhibiting its specialty portfolio of technologies to automotive designers and engineers this week at the 2014 VDI Plastics in Automotive Engineering conference.  PolyOne is also exhibiting several specialty materials that help automotive designers to optimize sustainability, improve design freedom and boost manufacturing efficiency in the following areas: PolyOne Corporation, with 2013 revenues of $3.8 billion, is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions.

For guidance on materials for the housing, Biowave consulted PTA Corp., its molder, who in turn contacted its long-time partners on the GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers team at Avient. Versalloy material is helping Biowave win and retain customers among sports teams, many of which purchase multiple devices for their players. Usability: Versalloy material makes a major contribution to the ruggedness and versatility of the device.

But to do so, they needed to find a material that could deliver a fast reaction time -- a runner’s foot-strike time is 40-50 milliseconds from heel to toe – and the ability to both absorb energy and offer top-notch energy return properties. Working together, teams from both companies created a customized TPE material that matched the performance of the Brooks TPE blend. The components and materials were carefully designed and engineered to work together properly and optimized for geometry, thickness, flexibility and performance.”

But as carmakers juggle new materials to find the right balance of comfort and cost, it becomes more difficult to maintain color consistency. The judicious use of color masterbatch, additives to provide texture to a part, and other color and additive formulations enable manufacturers to realize innovative color matching even as they incorporate new materials into the mix. But beware: Matching colors on disparate materials, such as textiles and molded polymers, is not an easy task.

Even without physical data, the simulation can still be useful for comparing the design, material, and process. What happens if you change the material, processing conditions, testing conditions, or environmental variables? Once that trust is established, you can also gain confidence that the design, process, and material for your product will perform as intended.
