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. Senior management believes these measures are useful to investors because they allow for comparison to PolyOne's performance in prior periods without the effect of items that, by their nature, tend to obscure PolyOne's operating results due to the potential variability across periods based on timing, frequency and magnitude.

Based on expertise in reducing weight and improving portability of mast structures and antennas for the military, Rolatube engineers realized the legs of the tripod could be designed to roll into a compact and portable coil, eliminating the complexity and added weight of telescopic hardware. The thermoplastic polymer base resin used also enables recyclability to support the company’s sustainability goals.

These materials also offer a sustainability benefit through a reduced carbon footprint because PK base resin production emits up to 61 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) than nylon, helping to improve sustainability over the end-product lifecycle.

They wanted to transition from metal to a polymer-based, two-component handle that would deliver: • scratch and chemical resistance • excellent mechanical properties • a grippy, soft-touch feel To support the transition, Victorinox sought our help based on its expertise in polymer science and ability to support product development and efficient manufacturing of the new two-component handles.

TECHNOLOGY COMPONENTS Select Rapid Color Prototyping Technology includes: Select Color Cell • Color scanning or matching • Creation of color plaques Online Software • Formulation and price generator • Web-based processor Automated Dispenser • Globally standard base colors • Consistent production from recipes HOW IT WORKS Select allows you to: • Instantaneously create a new color using your own standards, spectrophotometer or colorimeter data, or the software’s built-in design tools • Produce small quantities of color masterbatch for use in validating your color match • Combine advanced liquid colorants, cloud-access software and automated dispensing technology • Carry out color modeling and rapid iteration Select also helps you: • Choose the right color by providing a quick and cost effective way to model, sample, and test color options • Facilitate prototyping and variation testing PRODUCT BULLETIN CONVENTIONAL COLOR DEVELOPMENT PROCESS Multiple rounds of sampling, trials and approvals, usually over many weeks.

Convertors and brand owners need to make educated choices for their recycled materials based on formulation expertise and data science to help achieve a consistent packaging product. Based on color science, the tool helps optimize the ratio of virgin resin to PCR in order to achieve the best acceptable rendering, proven by scientific data.
