MOSCOW (MRC) -- PolyOne Corporation, a premier global provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions, has announced that its advanced, eco-friendly solutions are helping Schneider Electric to engineer better product performance, improve efficiency and strengthen its globally recognized sustainability strategy, reported the company in its press release.
Two innovative materials from PolyOne are featured in Schneider Electric's Multifix Air home electrical installations. Airtight housings are designed with PolyOne's Maxxam FR and OnFlex non-halogenated, flame-retardant solutions.
The OnFlex TPE material serves as an impermeable elastic membrane, reducing air leakage between a building's interior and exterior by 95% compared to standard electrical installation boxes, leading to energy savings for Schneider Electric's customers. In addition to its non-halogen formulation, the regulatory-compliant Maxxam solution has a lower density than traditional materials, which reduces material consumption and housing weight for greater production efficiency.
As MRC informed earlier, in February 2014, PolyOne Corporation announced the addition of new capabilities to its OnColor HC Plus portfolio. These expanded offerings add medical-grade LDPE, nylon, PEBA, PS and PVC to the globally available palette of specialty healthcare colorants, and are pre-certified to meet or exceed biocompatibility requirements for ISO 10993 and/or USP Class VI protocols.
PolyOne Corporation, with 2013 revenues of USD3.8 billion, is a global provider of specialized polymer materials, services, and solutions. PolyOne is a provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions with operations in specialty polymer formulations, color and additive systems, polymer distribution and specialty vinyl resins.
