Sustainability metrics represent 12-month approximate values based on available data from reporting facilities and are oft en made in reliance on third-party supplier information. 74424.indd intro_3 3/16/20 12:25 PM Our Vision To be the world’s premier provider of sustainable solutions. Innovation is made possible through our prior investments to build deep material science expertise on our team, and since 2014, we have increased our technical resources by 33%. You can be confident that, in formulating and manufacturing our materials, we use sustainable practices to provide long-term product viability and sound environmental stewardship • You can expect that the materials we produce contain only ingredients that conform to accepted legal and regulatory compliance guidelines • You can trust that PolyOne materials meet the rigorous quality and safety management standards required across the globe • You can be certain that PolyOne meets or exceeds the material safety data reporting requirements of your country or region • When you choose PolyOne, you can be confident our products will help you meet or exceed today’s stringent compliance standards FROM PRODUCTS INTRODUCED IN THE LAST 5 YEARS 37% of specialty sales Photos: Last year PolyOne broke ground on a new manufacturing and R&D facility in Chuzhou, China.

A larger processing window will account for the lot to lot changes between materials, without having to make process changes.3 Setting the Beginning Variables • Injection Pressure = Maximum of machine - Should not be pressure limited • Injection Velocity = Maximum of machine - This is for the injection velocity curve starting point - If flashing is an issue start slower and then increase • Injection Cut-Off Time = 15 seconds - This is only a limiting factor, needs to be above 10 seconds for velocity graph • Hold Pressure = 0 - Need to get 95% full part with a hold pressure of 0 • Hold Time = 10-15 seconds - Need to ensure gate is frozen • Screw Speed = 90% of Maximum - Unless shear sensitive material, if shear sensitive, set RPMs to optimum • Cooling Time = 10–15 seconds • Shot Size = 50% of calculated part volume • Decompression = .25" • Transfer Position = High enough to ensure a cushion - Cushion size does not matter but there must be a cushion to keep a constant pressure on the melt during hold time - Typically 0.25" is sufficient • Back Pressure = 800-1000 plastic pressure - 100–150 hydraulic pressure - Unless specified by material data sheet Determining Shot Size The shot size should be determined by calculating the combined volume of the parts and the runner system. If the material is shear-sensitive, consult the material data sheet or processing guide for instructions to set recovery time • The cooling time should only be 1–2 seconds longer than the screw recovery time, unless dictated by dimensional stability or part thickness Minimize Clamp Pressure This step is done to reduce the amount of energy used by the machine
