This device exemplifies the next generation in disc replacement and offers mobility equal to the body’s natural components. When bonded to the metal, the polymer core mimics a natural disc, absorbing impact and shock while bearing mechanical stresses from the vertebrae. Simulated, in-vitro testing of the compressive creep and shear viscoelastic properties of the device assured designers that the Freedom Lumbar Disc™ would replicate the natural motion of the spine.

Acqua Plose natural spring water is one of the purest waters in the world and bottled without any treatment or other human intervention. When looking for a cap for their mineral water, Acqua Plose chose closurelogic aluminum caps with TPE cap liners to ensure that the taste of Plose bottled water is just as natural as when it flows from the spring high up in the Dolomite Mountains of Northern Italy.

OnColor™ Colorants Shades of Nature Collection includes ten new special effects colorants inspired by nature. Shades of Nature colors are also a cost-effective replacement option for marble, granite, and other expensive, organic materials currently popular in consumer product designs. PHOTO CAPTION: A new nature-inspired color collection and low-odor automotive interior materials await visitors to the PolyOne stand at Fakuma 2018.

CLEVELAND – PolyOne today announced development of reSound™ NF reinforced materials, based on an eco-conscious, natural fiber-filled technology. These natural fiber-filled solutions can be processed on standard machinery and tooling at low injection molding temperatures and short cycle times, and will complement the advanced long and short fiber solutions in PolyOne’s current portfolio. Caption: New reSound™ NF natural fiber reinforced polymers help manufacturers reach goals for performance and sustainability.

Uncolored TPEs are naturally dark (typically in gray or brown), based on assorted colors from recycle streams  Ease of colorability creates the option to use sustainable colorants with low residuals (less chlorine or bromine) or natural colorant sources Can incorporate more natural sources to create a stronger sustainable story
