PRNewswire/ -- In anticipation of closing the acquisition of Clariant Masterbatch later this year, Given the size and scope of the pending acquisition of Clariant's masterbatch business, the company will establish two leadership roles with designated regional responsibilities for Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the time required to consummate the acquisition of Clariant's masterbatch business; the satisfaction or waiver of conditions in the Clariant masterbatch purchase agreements; any material adverse changes in Clariant's masterbatch business; the ability to obtain required regulatory or other third-party approvals and consents and otherwise consummate the acquisition of Clariant's masterbatch business; our ability to achieve the strategic and other objectives relating to the acquisition of Clariant's masterbatch business, including any expected synergies; and our ability to successfully integrate Clariant's masterbatch business and achieve the expected results of the acquisitions, including, without limitation, the acquisitions being accretive.

Executive Vice President and CFO, will provide insights and commentary on the company's growth expectations for the first quarter, strong financial position, as well as the status of the previously announced Clariant Masterbatch acquisition.  As such, and given recent inbound investor inquiries regarding current market conditions and the Clariant transaction, we are going to host this call Friday to discuss these topics. the time required to consummate the acquisition of Clariant's color and additive masterbatch business; the satisfaction or waiver of conditions in the purchase agreements; any material adverse changes in Clariant's color and additive masterbatch business; the ability to obtain required regulatory or other third-party approvals and consents and otherwise consummate the proposed acquisition of Clariant's color and additive masterbatch business; our ability to achieve the strategic and other objectives relating to the proposed acquisition of Clariant's color and additive masterbatch business, including any expected synergies; our ability to successfully integrate Clariant's color and additive masterbatch business and achieve the expected results of the acquisition of Clariant's color and additive masterbatch business, including, without limitation, the acquisition being accretive; 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; changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct business; changes in global industry capacity or in the rate at which anticipated changes in industry capacity come online; 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; an ability to achieve or delays in achieving or achievement of less than the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to acquisitions and integration, working capital reductions, costs reductions and employee productivity goals; information systems failures and cyberattacks; and other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including, without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates and changes in the rate of inflation.

Cesa™ Fiber Additives Light Stabilizers for Synthetic Fibers and Nonwovens Non UV-stabilized fibers exposed to sunlight can suffer color fading and molecular changes that degrade their chemical and mechanical properties, leading to fraying and breakages. In technical applications, where strength can be a critical factor, fibers should be UV-stabilized to avoid product failure. The Cesa™ Fiber Additives portfolio includes light-stabilizing and UV-absorbing concentrates for the spin-dyeing process.

Cesa™ Laser Marking Additives Cesa™ Laser Marking additive technology gives manufacturers a new level of control in laser marking polymers with speed and clarity. This laser enhancement additive works by converting visible, UV or IR laser light energy into thermal energy, creating surface marks that contrast the color of resin material. Cesa Laser Marking solutions not only contain a laser marking additive but also deliver a part’s color and can include other performance enhancing additives such as those for scratch or UV resistance.

Cesa™ Light Additives for injection molded applications contain high additive loading to provide efficient protection against photochemical degradation. The white ABS plastic samples, produced with and without Cesa Light Additives, were exposed to simulated sunlight conditions using the weathering test ISO 4892- 2:2013. Samples containing Cesa Light Additives (CC01, CC02, CC03) showed limited Delta b (Db) variations, while the non-UV stabilized sample showed a high Db variation and visual yellowing.
