CLEVELAND, Sept. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL) is highlighting innovative technologies and insights that enable emotional connections through packaging at this year's PACK EXPO, North America's largest annual packaging exhibition, being held in Las Vegas this week.
"Processors and brand owners collaborate with PolyOne to make material, color and finish selections that create emotional connections with their consumers, taking advantage of our design experience, as well as our expertise in barrier solutions," said Cathy Dodd, vice president, Marketing, PolyOne Corporation. "From product protection to aesthetics, we offer packaging customers one of the largest polymer-based solution and service portfolios available."
Building emotional connections with consumers through packaging starts by understanding the consumer's mindset. To help customers strengthen their grasp of this critical factor, PolyOne InVisiOSM designer Theresa Patton will provide insights and inspiration during a PACK EXPO lunch seminar being held on September 29.
At the show, PolyOne will also feature a number of its specialty solutions, including a new aluminum cap liner technology, GLS™ Versaflex™ PKG 4190 thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).

Featured Product
T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs
Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
