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.

HOW GLS TPEs MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN HOME APPLIANCE
ANTI-VIBRATION FEET
• Reduced appliance movement and noise –
vibration damping technology reduces
movement and noise of the appliance
when in use
• Resistance to wear and tear – TPEs are proven
to maintain their shape and resist tears with
low compression set
• Better performance and function – increase
design freedom with material selection
flexibility
• Improved processability – boost efficiency
with injection molding processing and reduce
overall production cycle time
and costs
• Reduced number of part defects – eliminate
secondary operations to achieve consistent
and controlled results

appliances, visit www.avient.com or call

Because their natural color is usually cream, white, beige or translucent, TPEs are very easy to color.
You can also make TPEs out of biopolymers, which are natural polymers produced by the cells of living organisms.
For example, other plastics made out of natural resources such as sugar cane can be repurposed into TPEs to create new products.

Purples and greens were the main protagonists of ColorForward 2023 showing an interesting duality between the natural world and the artificial one, but there were also stark contrasting colors underlining a year of ambiguity and contrast, said Roberto Romanin, designer at ColorWorks EMEA.
