Collaborative Custom Color Expertise – Enables manufacturers to offer realistic training experiences by creating custom-tailored skin tones; thermochromatic technology enables model to change color in response to heat or cold, simulating hypothermia, fever or burns; can also be used to design distinguishable looks to drive brand equity

Fluoropolymers such as FEP are capable of withstanding high heat and corrosive environments while also having outstanding dielectric properties and continuous service temperatures.

As a complement to PolyOne’s liquid Excelite CFA portfolio for extrusion, new Excelite IM CFAs are engineered for a wide range of injection molded polymers, including olefins, PVC, polystyrene, PC/ABS, and high-heat materials.

Want to find a better way to manage heat under the hood or in lighting systems?

Our broad array of specialty polymer solutions can solve technical challenges, such as managing static electricity, transferring heat away from sensitive components or providing EMI/FRI shielding, and delivering the colors and haptic your consumers welcome. 

Incorporating flame retardant additives can help mitigate fire hazards by increasing the ignition resistance of plastics, reducing the speed of flame spread, reducing heat release, and reducing smoke and fume generation.

Investigate processes that enable plastics and metal to be formed together, including insert molding and heat staking.

Using two-shot or insert molding, the material bonds tightly without adhesives to most standard nylons, as well as heat-stabilized, lubricated, glass-filled and impact-modified versions.

One final benefit is a reduction in the energy required to heat preforms, which fosters roughly 25 percent lower carbon emissions.

Added Palm, “By working with Citroën and its Tier I suppliers, we were able to develop an advanced solution that provides the panels with uniform, attractive, and durable color despite exposure to sunlight, heat, and detergents.
