The current macro environment presents several uncertainties related to policy, inflation,
foreign exchange and interest rates which provides for a broader set of potential outcomes for
the year,” Ms.
Factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to: 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; disruptions or
inefficiencies in our supply chain, logistics, or operations; changes in laws and regulations in
jurisdictions where we conduct business, including with respect to plastics and climate change;
fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply; demand
for our products and services; 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; our ability to pay regular
quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; information
systems failures and cyberattacks; our ability to service our indebtedness and restrictions on
our current and future operations due to our indebtedness; amounts for cash and non-cash
charges related to restructuring plans that may differ from original estimates, including because
of timing changes associated with the underlying actions; and other factors affecting our
business beyond our control, including without limitation, changes in the general economy,
changes in interest rates, changes in the rate of inflation, geopolitical conflicts and any
recessionary conditions.
2) Tax adjustments include the net tax impact from non-recurring income tax items and certain adjustments to uncertain tax position reserves
and valuation allowances.

What if you could design the needed performance characteristics
right into the housing rather than using conductive painting or vacuum metallization?
High performance without secondary
operations – When using Stat-Tech material,
painting and vacuum metallization are not
necessary in order to achieve the performance you
need from your ADAS systems, therefore cutting
down on the processing times and costs associated
with using aluminum.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-01/ECCOH XL Cross-Linkable Solutions _8001_ Product Bulletin.pdf
This technology offers manufacturing efficiencies
versus other crosslinking methods:
• Reduction in logistics management: No
secondary steps after manufacturing; no
need for E-beam radiation for effective
crosslinking
• Rapid ambient curing: Typically in less than
15 days depending on the climatic condition,
wall thickness and catalyst level
• No additional capital investment: The
material can be processed on a conventional
extrusion line
• Easy handling: ECCOH XL 8001 is used with
2.5–5% of catalyst masterbatch
• No pre-drying: No need to pre-dry the
material if it is stored correctly
PRODUCT BULLETIN

Hager wanted to utilize more recycled plastic in its
products; however, the material needed to perform
to the same technical specification as Hager’s current
prime material.
As a visible outdoor part, the material
needed good UV resistance, scratch resistance, impact
resistance, and a matte finish.
