The materials, parts, polymers, chemicals and other components of the things we use are all designed to re-enter the ecosystem that helped produce them.

Many of PolyOne’s products encapsulate additives in the polymer matrix, or in a physical form such that they are not available in the route required to be classified for that hazard.

Gravi-Tech™ Density Modified Formulations PROCESSING GUIDE 2 Gravi-Tech GRAVI-TECH™ Density Modified Formulations Gravi-Tech™ polymer-metal composites are high-density materials developed as thermoplastic-based alternatives to lead and other traditional metals.

Highly loaded polymer systems can be brittle, which can lead to more breakages when using snap fits. Cooling Rate & Time Cooling a part quickly will freeze in the polymer chain orientation. Cooling quickly will reduce the amount of shrinkage in the part, and will lock in the polymer chain stresses as well.

They include amorphous polymers such as polystyrene (PS), High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS), Polycarbonate (PC), Acetal (POM), PC/ABS, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Polyphenylene oxide (PPO), Noryl® (a miscible blend of PS and PPO), and PC/PETG. Selective commercial grades of TPEs and developmental TPEs bond to crystalline polymers such as Acetal (POM), Nylon 6, Nylon 6,6, Copolyester , Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT).

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: • Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; • The effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; including recessionary conditions • The current and potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial position or cash flows • Changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct business; • Fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply; • Production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs; • Unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; • An inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services; • Our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; • Information systems failures and cyberattacks; • Amounts for cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring plans that may differ from original estimates, including because of timing changes associated with the underlying actions; • The ability to obtain required regulatory approvals and otherwise consummate the proposed sales of the Distribution business; and • Other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates, changes in the rate of inflation and any recessionary conditions Use of Non-GAAP Measures This presentation includes the use of both GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures.
