MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE
TESTING NOTES
Springs were fatigue tested at 4 hz in a cantilevered loading.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2021-09/cai-biopolymers-brochure-2021.pdf
Our current portfolio of pre-tested pigments offers:
• A wide range of color masterbatch options
• From opaque to transparent—depending on
the blend or resin
It is important to note that the final colors will
depend on the percentage of use, the resin,
the thickness, and the opacity.

NOTE: Technologies listed above
may be available in either solid

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data)
Senior management uses comparisons of adjusted net income attributable to PolyOne common shareholders, adjusted earnings per share (EPS) attributable to PolyOne common
shareholders 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 that current levels may serve as a base for future performance.
