Protect Finished Parts These specialty thermoplastic elastomers have imbedded, EPA-registered antimicrobial additives to inhibit bacterial growth by 99.9% or more and resist fungal growth in finished plastic parts. Thermoplastic elastomer formulation with antimicrobial technologies to help protect the finished part; suitable for injection molding and overmolding onto PC, ABS, PC/ABS, and COPE

Game changing concentrates for polymer parts create a metallic surface finish that truly mimics paint while eliminating the painting process. 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,” says Rob Bindner, Americas vice president & general manager, Color and Additives for PolyOne. Uniquely shaped and sized particles enable these metallic shades to replicate the look of paint, and may even help customers to replace metal parts or plating for plastic parts.

Plastic is a logical and proven choice for vehicle designers and engineers who want to reduce weight, improve performance, and manage costs. Molded-in color parts now boast high performance, while helping to hide scratches and endure the elements as well as - or better - than painted parts. External mirrors are another critical part of a vehicle’s design.
