Caption: Hammerhead™ Marine Composite Panels from Avient remove weight and streamline production in marine manufacturing. With a weight savings of more than 50% compared to plywood, these continuous-fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite sandwich panels offer boat manufacturers a lighter, more efficient alternative to traditional marine construction materials.

The customized ABS formulation with metallic effect was developed to help electronics manufacturers eliminate the painting process while achieving scratch and chemical resistance performance and sustainability goals.  Artisan ABS formulations are currently manufactured in Asia in customizable, metallic colors, and are available for purchase globally.

MagIQ™ Nonwoven Electret Additives are electret masterbatches necessary for the manufacture of meltblown nonwoven polypropylene used to make nonwoven fabrics with long-lasting filtration properties for consumer, building & construction, automotive and appliance applications.  Manufacturers can use either hydro charging or corona charging processes.

PolyOne has been working closely with TenPoint for more than a year to identify opportunities to reduce weight, substitute materials, and improve performance and manufacturability. Sporting goods and related high-performance applications are yet another industry where PolyOne’s cross-business unit expertise and innovative material solutions are helping manufacturers succeed and grow.”

Available in customized chemistries, these esters can accelerate manufacturers’ speed-to-market, especially at the lower volumes typical for emerging and specialty oils, fluids, and greases. Building on more than 40 years of ester expertise, PolyOne combines a broad product portfolio with flexible and agile manufacturing,” said Don Wiseman, senior vice president, PolyOne and president, Performance Products and Solutions. 

Through close collaboration with manufacturers of crossbows and arrows, firearm components, ammunition and accessories, PolyOne has developed in-house expertise to deliver on specific needs within these targeted markets. We are further investing in this dynamic industry to accelerate growth and product development, and to help manufacturers meet the needs of these consumers.

– February 3, 2020 – At Medical Design and Manufacturing (MD&M) West next week, PolyOne is focusing on helping customers solve pressing medical device challenges through a “More Than Materials” approach. In addition, knowledgeable representatives from PolyOne’s distribution business will be on hand to help molders and manufacturers address application needs, optimize medical component performance, and mitigate risk by leveraging extensive material and application knowledge, advanced technical resources, and logistics expertise.

Additionally, color can be integrated into the additive in a Smartbatch™ combination concentrate for seamless incorporation of both color and stain-resistance efficacy in the fiber with the spin-dyeing (dope-dyeing) process, a one-in-one fiber manufacturing and dyeing method using no water.  The additives are also formulated to be compatible with over-dyeing, allowing manufacturers to bath-dye or piece-dye polyester yarns and textiles containing Cesa stain-resistant concentrates without compromising the stain-resistance efficacy,” said Mauro Dallavalle, Sr.

Beyond performance benefits, these new formulations can provide manufacturing efficiencies for cable producers by reducing the need to use multiple materials because ECCOH XL Solutions can be used for both cable insulation and jacket coating. ECCOH XL Cross-Linkable Solutions for photovoltaic cables are currently manufactured in Europe and are available globally.
