The company, formerly PolyOne Corporation is a premier formulator of specialized and sustainable materials solutions. With excellent chemical resistance, low moisture uptake, high dimensional stability, and superior impact and wear resistance, these formulations are ideal for demanding applications in industrial, electrical/electronics, and transportation sectors. Once the NBL electrical forklifts are capable of conducting the weight-up of materials, NBL will remove the propane forklift from service.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: • The ability to successfully integrate acquired companies into our operations, retain the management teams of acquired companies, retain relationships with customers of acquired companies, and achieve the expected results of such acquisitions, including whether such businesses will be accretive to our earnings; • 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 the disposal of plastic 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; • Information systems failures and cyber attacks; 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.

If needed for the application, TPEs can even be formulated for fire retardant performance. Medical tubing made from TPE is likewise formulated from a medical grade that withstands various fluids without degrading. At Avient, we use a collaborative approach to deliver the specialty polymer formulations, services and sustainable material solutions specific to your application and property needs.

Cesa WPC Processing Enhancement Additives are suitable for use in a variety of WPC applications, including decking, fencing, furniture, and more.  Can be formulated with bio-derived content

PolyOne worked with sensor manufacturer TDK-EPC Corporation to define performance and processing parameters, then formulated a specialty polyamide-based material for the application.
