Talc can, however, make scratches more visible in a highly filled compound; submicron talcs, surface-treated talcs, and anti-scratch additives can mitigate this effect.
In addition, a plastic part may soften, bend, or expand under certain conditions, particularly under a load at an elevated temperature.

Avient Corporation
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
(In millions, except per share data)
Senior management uses gross margin before special items and operating income before special items to assess performance
and allocate resources because senior management believes that these measures are useful in understanding current profitability
levels and how it may serve as a basis for future performance.
In addition, operating income before the effect of special items is
a component of Avient annual and long-term employee incentive plans and is used in debt covenant computations.
