Before the stadium lights ignite and the crowd roars, the excitement of game day is already in motion. From athletes preparing to perform at their best to fans tailgating and enjoying food in the stands, LYB materials lay the foundation for every moment. We enhance the experience from warm-up to the final whistle and make game day seamless and unforgettable for all.
Here's how our innovations bring energy and enjoyment to the game.
Supporting athletes for peak performance
Our materials enhance safety, hydration and performance – key elements for athletes striving for success on game day.
Turf and field supplies: A safe, durable and resilient playing surface is critical for athletic performance. LYB materials make this possible.
- Our Polybatch portfolio contributes to the durability and quality of artificial grass that can be used in athletic facilities.
- Petrothene is employed in field covers and tarps to keep surfaces dry and safe.
Sideline equipment: From hydration to protection, LYB materials play an integral role in supporting athletes on the sidelines.
- EVA Ultrathene materials may be used in mouth guards for dental protection.
- CirculenRecover, CirculenRevive and CirculenRenew offer sustainable solutions for common applications like squeeze water bottles, beverage cups, and food containers.
Enhancing the fan experience
Whether it’s the comfort of a seat, vehicle or the durability of a cooler, LYB materials are essential to elevating the fan experience during the game. From tailgate parties to stadium seating, our innovations are at the heart of the action.
Comfortable seating: The cushions that provide soft and supportive seating in some sections are likely made with propylene oxide (PO). This specialized chemical is a critical component in the production of polyurethane foam, which offers a more comfortable experience.
Automotive: The journey to the game is just as important as the event itself. Vehicles equipped with LYB materials offer comfort, safety and functionality, making them a key part of the fan experience.
- From engineered polymers and composites and polypropylene compounds used in vehicle liftgates and tailgates, to headlamp brackets and body paneling, our materials enhance everything.
Insulated food storage: The ability to keep food fresh and beverages cold transforms tailgating into a celebration that lasts long before kickoff.
- Icorene powders for rotomolding applications are integral to products like insulated coolers and ice chests, ensuring food and beverages stay cold for hours.
Food and beverage packaging: As fans settle into their seats, the excitement builds – and so does their appetite. LYB materials ensure that food containers are fresh, durable and ready to enjoy throughout the game.
- Polyethylene and polypropylene resin grades are employed to produce durable packaging and label stock.
- Glacial Acetic Acid (GAA) is used to produce polyethylene terephthalate (PET) beverage bottles such as water bottles and energy drinks that fuel players, as well as soft drinks that fans enjoy in the stands.
- In flexible packaging, chip bags can use LDPE in the extrusion lamination process. Polypropylene and Catalloy resins are often used for making snack food flexible packaging with Bi-Oriented-PP (BOPP) film process.
Stadium infrastructure: The comfort of stadium seating and the durability of goal posts are fundamental for an enjoyable game day, with LYB materials contributing to these experiences.
- Designed for both durability and comfort, specialty powders for rotomolding applications are used in stadium seating, while Alathon HDPE ensures toughness in goal posts and seating film.
