PolyOne collaborates with OXO

PolyOne GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers collaborated with kitchenware leader OXO to develop the OXO Tot line – an award winning family of durable , attractive feeding dishes that allow toddlers to feed themselves. The new line helps OXO further differentiate  its  brand in the competitive kitchenware market. After considering other materials, OXO chose PolyOne GLS Dynaflex TPE for several components of this new offering. The Dynaflex TPE formulation enabled OXO to come up with a tough, durable, attractive, food-safe solution that would stand up to the kind of abuse only a toddler can dish out. The OXO Tot feeding line, which OXO markets as free of BPA and phthalates, has received numerous accolades for its design, including a 2012 Bronze IDEA (International Design Excellence Award) in the Kitchen category. The custom Dynaflex TPE was used on several components of OXO’s new Tot dishes, including a removable lid that is used to store leftovers, a grippy non-slip base and a separable plate, ring and lid to allow for easy dishwasher cleaning.
