As both the technical formulator and manufacturer of the material solutions, we help with material validation to ensure that the best resin system, fiber selection and additive technologies are customized to meet your needs. 

We are proud to embark on this important inititative to provide our customers with a best-in-class experience,” said Cathy Dodd, SVP & President of Distribution.

We also appreciate her service during our first stage of the Spartech integration, and wish her all the best in her future endeavors.”

Awards for the Vela table include the German Design Council’s Interior Innovation Award 2014, and the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) Best of Category award in its 2014 Product Design Competition.

Find the Best Solution

Based on color science and proven by scientific data, the digital tool can decrease complexity where different grades of PCR are used and is able to help optimize the ratio of virgin resin to PCR, in order to achieve the best acceptable rendering. 

This allows our customers the choice of a masterbatch concentrate or pre-colored material that best fits their production process, yet still offers the benefits of our ‘Controlled, Consistent, Compliant’ customized solutions.” 

PolyOne took first place in the Best Lightweighting Innovation category for helping 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.

It delivered on both their core manufacturing efficiency values and their brand promise to deliver the best value and quality guarantee to their customers.
