These versatile materials also give engineers and designers great freedom to create new applications. By using composite materials for poles and other components, electrical utilities and telecom providers can: •    Reduce the need for part maintenance and replacement •    Simplify transportation to the job site and installation •    Enhance product performance with resistance to corrosion, heat, weather and flame

Engineered Polymer Formulations | Lightweighting , Metal Replacement Avoiding lightweighting mistakes helps to: Increase functional attributes of a part

These comprise several new product launches, including statically dissipative and electrically conductive thermoplastic elastomers, additives designed to enhance the recycling of polyolefins, and engineered materials and performance additives that can help customers conform to proposals from the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to restrict the use of polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).   NEW Stat-Tech™ TPE Static Dissipative & Electrically Conductive Thermoplastic Elastomers – Formulated to offer electrical resistivity from 10⁰Ω to 10¹⁰Ω. NEW Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives, PTFE-Free and Non-Halogen for Polycarbonate – These new additives are formulated without PTFE, which is part of per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS).

 – PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL), a premier global provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions, presents its specialty portfolio for automotive interiors to designers and engineers today at the 2014 WardsAuto Interiors conference. Marking alternative: OnColor™ FastMark™ additives – enabling parts such as signal stalks and trunk/hood release handles to be permanently laser etched with images, symbols and words

Small lot capabilities (25 lb. minimum) for trial parts Healthcare Thermoplastics: Trilliant™ HC Mimic the look of paint with scratch-resistant thermoplastics for superior results

Lightweighting Thermoplastic elastomers are also used to make products more lightweight. Additionally, automotive parts and devices made from TPE make vehicles lighter and more fuel efficient.
