Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are defined as fluorinated substances that contain at least one fully fluorinated methyl or methylene carbon atom without any hydrogen, chlorine, bromine, or iodine atom attached to it.  With this approach, however, questions can remain regarding future regulations and the availability of alternative compounds as they could become restricted. With that in mind, we now have solid and liquid non-PFAS process aid additives for some applications that can eliminate melt fracture and reduce die buildup during processing.

We’re excited to talk with customers at NPE about the ways in which our specialty formulations, technical and design services, and innovative polymer science can be used to energize their product development process and business objectives,” said Cathy Dodd, vice president, Marketing, at PolyOne. We are working to find ways in which 3D printing can take our customers to a new level of innovation. Geon™ Bold vinyl solutions are dark, richly colored materials that stand up to the elements, especially heat build up, without losing their intensity or performance for windows, fencing, decking, and siding.

CLEVELAND – Builders and homeowners know that faded colors on fencing, decks and windows can spoil curb appeal and decrease property values. PolyOne has developed new Geon™ Bold vinyl materials with dark, rich colors that stand up to the elements, especially heat build up, without losing their intensity or performance. These new materials are available in a range of gloss levels and use temperatures, and can be used to produce capstock for vinyl, cellular vinyl, or wood-plastic composite profiles, or solid profiles and sheet if needed.
