They are based on management’s expectations that involve a number of business risks and uncertainties, any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements.
Pro Forma Financial Information
The Company acquired Avient Protective Materials (“Dyneema”) on September 1, 2022 (the “Acquisition Date”) and sold the Distribution segment on November 1, 2022.
To provide comparable results, the company references “pro forma” financial
metrics, which include the business results of Avient Protective Materials for periods prior to the Acquisition Date, as if the transaction occurred on January 1, 2021 and reflect Distribution as a discontinued operation.

Brand owners
and manufacturers are responding by seeking to
incorporate materials including post-consumer
recycled plastics into their products and processes.
Composites are inherently lightweight alternatives
to metal and other materials, enabling
sustainability initiatives such as material reduction
and fuel economy improvements in many end
products.

Because low durometer (softer) material is a
requirement for this application, the manufacturer
considered a switch to a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).
The company tried several TPE grades, hoping to find
a material that would eliminate the adhesion problem
while providing comparable softness to silicone.
With the Avient material, the manufacturer is expected
to save $122,000 per year vs. silicone.

Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
ELECTRET CHARGING
Electret charging works by improving the
crystallinity and mechanical deformation of a
material, to prevent electret charging from drifting.
By introducing additives with charge storage
properties, “charge traps” are created which capture
the electret charge applied to the meltblown
nonwoven material.
