Plastic / metal hybrid designs can bring the best of both worlds – reduced weight and structural integrity. Investigate processes that enable plastics and metal to be formed together, including insert molding and heat staking. Take advantage of hybrid plastic/metal designs

GLS soft TPEs can be overmolded onto rigid plastic, metal, or other substrates using a variety of techniques, including: Natural products, light colored or clear TPEs may show contamination or discoloration unless properly controlled. Overmolded parts will take longer to cool because the TPE is only cooled from one side as the plastic substrate has poor thermal conductivity.

FISCHBACH, Luxembourg – Collaborating with customers to replace metal in LED lights earned PolyOne recognition at the inaugural Polymers and Plastics Innovation Awards, presented by the Society of Plastics Engineers Benelux Division. The awards competition identified winners of innovative plastics materials in eight categories. The winning parts are on display this week at POLYTALK 2014, a plastics industry summit organized by trade association Plastics Europe in Brussels.

In addition, the plastic waste problem remains a priority for our world and our industry, as education eff orts on the sustainable and inherent benefits of polymers run in parallel with collaborative work to eliminate plastic waste. The clear momentum and engagement we have within our organization internally is underpinning the contributions we are making in Products, Planet and Performance. That’s why in January of 2019 we were very proud to have joined the Alliance to End Plastic Waste (AEPW) as a founding member.
