OnColor™ Brilliant Metallic Colorants are the newest members of PolyOne’s portfolio of OnColor FX special effects in Asia. This striking new line finally meets the need for paint replacement and premium surface finish, and may even help customers to replace metal parts or plating for plastic parts. High Temperature Polymer Solutions are lightweight and versatile alternatives to metals and ceramics for both transportation and industrial applications.

OnColor™ Brilliant Metallics - Product Bulletin (Chinese) OnColor™ Brilliant Metallics - Product Bulletin (English) Gravi-Tech™ formulation replaced metal and enabled PVD metallization for a luxury closure manufacturer

For example, an LED lighting demonstration available at the stand offers an alternative to plasma metallizing for the molded interconnect device (MID), a critical LED component. The display highlights how Therma-Tech™ thermally conductive polymers can replace metal to improve manufacturing efficiency, simplify logistics and increase supply chain control. Improving design and manufacturing efficiency with metal replacement

Pre-colored Geon™ FX Metal rigid vinyl lets manufacturers achieve a bold metallic look without the limitations, costs and environmental challenges seen with other methods, such as plating, painting or film lamination.  When paired with new brilliant metallic colorants, these materials streamline production with no tradeoffs in appearance.

These composites have structural characteristics that make them ideal alternatives to metals. When used in metal replacement applications, they can help customers achieve significant weight reductions along with the time and cost-saving benefits of single-step injection molding fabrication. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

Lightweight, thermally conductive materials that replace metal and help manage heat across sensitive electronics Advanced metallic colorants able to create brilliant surfaces without paint Able to remove up to 60 percent in weight versus metal, this composite material can be tailored to meet an application's needs.

These profiles allow for the replacement of metal, wood and other less efficient materials in order to improve overall product performance while reducing weight, cost and complexity.
