proposed acquisition of the Dyneema business and possible sale of the distribution business;
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; the current and potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results
of operations, financial position or cash flows; changes in polymer consumption growth rates and
laws and regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct business; 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; an inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services; information
systems failures and cyberattacks; and other factors affecting our business beyond our control,

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plasticizers, such as dioctyl phthalate (DOP), should not be
used as carriers.
On start up, retract the
extruder and air purge it well before attempting to fill the mold.

Static charges that build up on the surface of plastic
products can attract dust and dirt, cause sheet and
film to cling, and cause stacked products to stick
together.
