At the International Home + Housewares Show, a homegoods & housewares industry exhibition currently held in Chicago, PolyOne Corporation, a global provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions, is displaying its new reSound biopolymer compounds for durable applications.
"Manufacturers are increasingly focused on reducing their carbon footprint to meet consumers' growing desire for greener products," said Rick Noller, Director of Global Marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials for PolyOne. "Until now, they had few options because biopolymers did not provide the desired performance properties. Our reSound compounds solve this dilemma by providing both a high percentage of renewable content and excellent mechanical properties."
PolyOne's reSound biopolymer compounds incorporate up to 50% bio-derived content by weight, and offer increased sustainability without sacrificing performance. New reSound compounds have a unique balance of temperature, impact and cost performance that enables manufacturers in the durable consumer products sector to reduce environmental impact of their products while delivering performance equal to or better than conventional engineering resins.
PolyOne is displaying samples of reSound biopolymer compounds, which combine high performance engineering thermoplastic resins with bio-derived polymers such as polylactic acid (PLA), polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), and biopolyesters, at the Home + Housewares Show. The new materials will be commercially available worldwide at the end of March.
