PolyOne launches LubriOne™ Wear Resistant Compounds globally
PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL), a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services, and solutions, today introduces its newly rebranded LubriOne™ Wear Resistant Compounds. These materials are now available globally under the LubriOne brand name.
LubriOne compounds, which combine the unique benefits of internal lubricants with a wide array of reinforcements and base engineering resins, are self-lubricating, offering low coefficient friction and improved wear resistance properties.

PolyOne offers a well-defined product line, and is also able to compound application-specific solutions without limitation on raw material type.
“LubriOne is another example of PolyOne’s ability to supply specialized materials, services and solutions globally,” commented Bernard Baert, senior vice president and general manager, International Colors and Engineered Materials, Europe and Asia. “Our customers benefit from the latest developments in polymer technology, worldwide supply chain consistency, and our emphasis on rapid turnaround.”
“This expanded offering under the LubriOne brand name strengthens PolyOne’s global footprint and reaffirms our commitment to specialization,” said Craig Nikrant, vice president and general manager of Engineered Materials for PolyOne. “We will continue to tailor our products and services to meet the unique needs of our growing global customer base.”
