Element proof – Winter with LYB

 

Winter brings two sides of everyday life – adventure in the elements and safety at home. LYB materials make both everyday edge and everyday comfort possible, enabling performance and protection all season long.

Here’s how our materials support everyday life throughout the winter season.

Peak performance on the slopes

Before the first chairlift rises or the trail disappears under fresh snow, LYB materials are already powering winter adventures.

Winter sporting equipment: From impact-resistant snowmobile panels to durable components in snowboard bindings and snowshoes, our materials are the foundation for everyday edge.

  • Our Forged Preg thermoset compound material provides durability and protection in ski guards for skiers of every skill level
  • Snowboard bindings that utilize Quantum-ESC materials can withstand frigid cold temperatures with high-fatigue strength and toughness
  • Snowshoes are used in extreme conditions and – made from mechanically recycled content – provide the durability and functionality required to face the harsh winter elements
  • High-performance polyolefins and styrenic compounds used in snowmobile panels protect internal components and deliver durable, low-temperature impact resistance in harsh winter conditions
  • Polypropylene homopolymers can be turned into fibers for glove insulation that keeps the bitter cold at bay during wintertime fun

LYB solutions help winter athletes, adventurers and families push further, no matter how extreme the conditions.

 

Foundation of a warm home

As the first frost settles in or the thermostat turns up, LYB materials are already working behind the scenes to keep homes safe, warm and reliable all season long.

Comfort within: Comfort in winter isn’t just about warmth – it’s about peace of mind. Our solutions, found in water heater tanks, antifreeze, piping, underfloor heating and more, are built for long-term safety, flow and resilience in freezing conditions.​

  • ​Ethylene is a core component of deicer liquids, a key winter safety tool keeping airline travel and your morning commute on schedule
  • HDPE is used to make liquid and salt deicer bottles, key to clearing away built-up ice from exterior surfaces
  • Polybutene‑1 tanks make water heaters lightweight, durable and energy‑efficient, delivering hot water throughout your home
  • Lupolen and Alathon formulations strengthen PEX piping for winter, supporting domestic hot water lines and underfloor heating while improving cold-weather flexibility and lowering the risks associated with freezing temperatures
  • Our materials like polypropylene impact copolymers used in packaging help coffee pods and hot chocolate packets stay fresh and protected, so every warm sip feels like a small moment of comfort and home

LYB solutions keep winter life moving, ranging from home protection and weatherproofing to a cozy cup of coffee or cocoa.

Everyday solutions

Together, everyday edge and everyday comfort demonstrate how LYB materials power winter, supporting the moments that keep people moving and the systems that keep them secure. Whether chasing winter adventures or returning to a warm retreat, LYB materials are the key ingredients in many everyday solutions that keep us excelling outdoors and recharging indoors.
