And they require fewer processing steps and lower energy costs because the molder no longer needs to post-heat the part to achieve the expected odor rating. It’s a cost-effective option for paint replacement on polymer parts and creates an exceptional metallic color that continues through the part’s thickness. Lightweighting is also part of this trend, and its Polystrand™ thermoplastic composite continuous fiber tapes and laminates are providing the structural strength to replace metals while amplifying design freedom.

Versaflex™ OM 9-801N was developed to bond to a variety of substrates allowing molders to use the same thermoplastic elastomer with varying substrates. Engineered Thermoplastics PP overmolding is a common characteristic of thermoplastic elastomers from GLS.

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. PolyOne took first place in the Best Lightweighting Innovation category for helping Tier 2 supplier Ayfar Otomotiv to replace metal in LED headlights for off-road vehicles, and was awarded second place in the Plastics and Electronics category for replacing metal in architectural LED lighting made by Finnish lighting specialist Kruunutekniikka. The winning parts are on display this week at POLYTALK 2014, a plastics industry summit organized by trade association Plastics Europe in Brussels.
