CLEVELAND – PolyOne today announced that Franklin Electric selected Geon™ Fiberloc™ glass-reinforced vinyl composite for the control head of its

While polypropylene (PP) is widely accepted in the packaging industry, it has higher shrinkage rates than ABS, making it challenging to use as a direct replacement for existing molds.   To enable customers to use their existing ABS molds, Avient has developed new PP-based grades with comparable shrinkage to traditionally used ABS materials.
