SPECIALTY COMPOUNDS Value-added solutions include: RADIATION CROSS-LINKABLE COMPOUNDS By blending a combination of special additives, high- temperature functional compounds can be cross- linked when exposed to electron beam radiation. Importantly, this solution is manufactured without intentionally added fluoropolymers, fluoroelastomers, or any other pre- and poly- fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), supporting customer’s sustainability goals and regulatory compliance by offering an alternative to intentionally added PFAS materials. Laser marking additives are added to polymers, such as fluoropolymers, that do not readily absorb the wavelength of laser light.

These engineered TPEs also have the added benefit of eliminating secondary processing, which reduces energy use and supports manufacturers in reaching their sustainability goals.

Cesa™ WithStand™ Antimicrobial Additives give your plastic products an added layer of defense against microorganisms such as bacteria, mold, and fungi.

With dope-dyeing, the colorant is in the form of concentrate pellets added to the polymer pellets during the extrusion and melting process.

The portfolio now includes newly added grades with up to 40 percent filler from cellulose fiber.

We have increased our production space by over 30 percent and added to our state-of-the-art machinery portfolio to shorten lead times for developing and producing high-quality color concentrates.

Nearly 40 percent lighter than the cast aluminum it would replace, the long fiber material also added the benefit of injection molding for faster, single-step production to drive down costs.

EMI / RFI Shielding and Conductive Formulations: New in 2019, PolyOne has added Surround™ long fiber formulations to its conductive polymers portfolio.

Give your products an added layer of defense from microorganisms.
