Since polymers interact differently with laser energy, making them more or less suitable for laser welding, special polymer solutions can be used to enhance a polymer’s ability to interact with the laser energy and achieve a good weld.

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.

Typical applications are surgical instruments and thin walled tubing • Brilliantly colored: Proven expertise in coloring high temperature polymers, in both transparent and translucent shades, including bright whites, special effects and other hard-to-achieve colors. • Laser markable (IR and UV) • Fiber-reinforced for even greater mechanical properties What do you want to manufacture?

The substrate is locked in its place on wheel in order to maintain the 90o angle while the elastomer is being pulled.
