October 13, 2015

FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Germany – PolyOne Corporation is featuring specialty solutions at the Fakuma trade show this week. Ranging from colorants and additives to engineered polymer formulations, these solutions can help customers operate more efficiently and design better.

In addition, visitors are invited to meet with experts at the stand and attend 15- minute Tech Talks focused on reducing weight, managing heat, adding value through thermoplastic elastomer overmolding, and more.

The concise Tech Talks at the PolyOne stand (Hall B5, Stand 5316) also offer practical tips to help manufacturers overcome challenges such as:

• Improving manufacturing efficiency by transitioning from metal to specialty thermoplastic solutions
• Managing heat in molded interconnect devices with specialty thermoplastics

The presentations are free of charge, and include time for questions and discussion. Tech Talks are held daily, and visitors can find a presentation schedule at the PolyOne stand.
