They are designed to be used separately
but at the same time to control b* and a* color
producing maximum L* color when used at very
low dosing levels in the final product.
This will generate a non-homogeneous
dispersion, resulting in sub-standard coloration
quality in the PET production process.
Any small drop in temperature experienced by this
dispersion will result in the toner precipitating
out of the liquid as agglomerated deposits.

This additive is particularly suitable in packaging for ultra-high temperature (UHT) liquid dairy products, as these types of products have a longer shelf life, making them more susceptible to light-induced oxidation due to ambient storage conditions.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data)
Senior management uses comparisons of adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to PolyOne common shareholders, adjusted earnings per share (EPS)
attributable to PolyOne common shareholders and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) 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.
