FISCHBACH, Luxembourg – PolyOne Corporation today announced that advanced, halogen-free material solutions are helping Schneider Electric to engineer better product performance, improve efficiency and strengthen its globally recognized sustainability strategy. Airtight housings are molded from Maxxam™ FR non-halogenated flame retardant polymers and overmolded with OnFlex™ non-halogenated, flame-retardant thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs). This project highlights Schneider as a leader in eco-conscious design, and demonstrates the importance of materials that reinforce these efforts while maximizing production efficiency,” commented Holger Kronimus, vice president Europe and general manager, Specialty Engineered Materials, Europe at PolyOne.

Nymax BIO low-water-absorption polyamide formulations deliver excellent dimensional stability and property retention after conditioning, providing a solution to the problem of water uptake (hygroscopy) for finished parts. Most have initiatives built around bringing more environmentally friendly products to market,” said Matt Mitchell, Director, Global Marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. Our new Nymax BIO line of bio-based polyamide formulations exemplifies our continuous innovation in developing sustainable materials, and expands the material choices for design engineers while mitigating the risk of water absorption.”
