They use words such as “will,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance and/or sales. • 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 financial condition of our customers, including the ability of customers (especially those that may be highly leveraged and those with inadequate liquidity) to maintain their credit availability; � The speed and extent of an economic recovery, including the recovery of the housing market; � The amount and timing of repurchases, if any, of PolyOne common shares and our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; � The effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs, and other political, economic and regulatory risks; Changes in polymer consumption growth rates in the markets where we conduct business; Forward Looking Statements � Changes in polymer consumption growth rates in the markets 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; � An inability to achieve or delays in achieving or achievement of less than the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to working capital reductions, cost reductions, employee productivity goals, and an inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services; � The ability to successfully integrate acquired companies into our operations, retain the management teams of acquired companies, and retain relationships with customers of acquired companies, including without limitation, Color Matrix Group, Inc. In addition, operating income before special items is a component of various PolyOne annual and long-term employee incentive plans. • A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is attached to this presentation which is posted on our website at www.polyone.com.

The FlexCart Micro unit is designed to operate on non- continuous processes that require small units and which run with lower process throughputs. Some of the information arises from laboratory work with small-scale equipment which may not provide a reliable indication of performance or properties obtained or obtainable on larger-scale equipment. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

They are based on management’s expectations that involve 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. The non-GAAP financial measures include: Organic Performance (which excludes the impact of foreign exchange), Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margins.

No matter which process you choose—assembling panels from aluminum, steel or wood; hand lay-up with composites; or producing panels using the vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process—throughput remains low while costs are high. In contrast to VARTM panels, which are highly labor intensive and require extended curing, PolyOne panels come ready to install.

Melt processing of SmartHeat RHC is carried out at typical PET processing conditions at recommended dose rates, which range from .02% to .075%. The anticipated shelf life of SmartHeat RHC is 60–90 days, after which settling out can occur.

Some of the information arises from laboratory work with small-scale equipment which may not provide a reliable indication of performance or properties obtained or obtainable on larger-scale equipment. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information. You have the responsibility to conduct full-scale end-product performance testing to determine suitability in your application, and you assume all risk and liability arising from your use of the information and/or use or handling of any product.

The additive creates tiny bubbles inside the semi-crystalline resins which, when stretched during blow molding, reflect light and shine for a high gloss, metallic appearance.

Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

This included an upgrade to the knife’s grips, which long had been made of metal. Designers conceptualized a new, larger version of the Soldier’s model, including 10 tools, a lock blade that can be opened with one hand and, importantly, a non-slip handle manufactured from a combination of hard and soft thermoplastics. They also provided local support during the sampling process, which helped speed testing and development time for Victorinox.
