Additional draft may be required for grained/textured surfaces. 4 Nymax Polymer Formulations Incomplete Fill Melt and/or mold too cold • Increase nozzle and barrel temperatures • Check thermocouples and heater bands Mold design • Enlarge or widen vents and increase number of vents • Check that vents are unplugged • Check that gates are unplugged • Enlarge gates and/or runners • Perform short shots to determine fill pattern and verify proper vent location • Increase wall thickness to move gas trap to parting line Shot size • Adjust transfer position to 98% full • Increase cushion Brittleness Wet material • Check moisture. Degraded/ overheated material • Decrease melt temperature • Decrease back pressure • Use smaller barrel • Decrease injection speed Gate location and/or size • Relocate gate to nonstress area • Increase gate size to allow higher flow rate and lower molded in stress Fibers/Minerals on Surface or Uneven Surface Appearance Melt temperature too low • Increase injection speed Insufficient packing • Increase hold pressure and time Processing Guide 5 Sink Marks Part geometry too thick • Reduce wall thickness • Reduce rib thickness Melt too hot • Decrease nozzle and barrel temperatures Insufficient material volume • Increase packing pressure • Increase gate size Flash Injection pressure too high • Decrease injection pressure • Increase clamp pressure • Increase transfer position Excess material volume • Adjust transfer position • Decrease pack pressure • Decrease shot size Melt and/or mold too hot • Decrease screw speed Loose clamp • Reset mold height • Increase clamp tonnage Shrink Too much shrink Too little shrink • Decrease cooling time 6 Nymax Polymer Formulations Burning Process related Mold design • Clean, widen and increase number of vents • Increase gate size to reduce shear Wet material • Check moisture.

This paper concentrates on a new class of TPEs that can bond to a number of substrates with dissimilar surface energy or polarity, such as PP, ABS, PC and COPE, etc., called “universal overmolding TPE.” Also, this new technology can reduce cost by reducing the number of TPEs needed for different applications.

Continuous Service Temperature: Maximum temperature at which a material can perform reliably in a long-term application. 3. https://www.craftechind.com/standard-and-custom-parts-in-high-performance-plastics/ MARKETS & APPLICATIONS Meeting the Demands There’s a common thread linking different classes of high-performance thermoplastics; namely, the markets and highly demanding applications in which they are used. Adding a concentrate (masterbatch) to the natural resin during processing Pre-colored resins are formulated to an exact target shade, making it possible to create customized colors.

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; • 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; and • other factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K under Item 1A, “Risk Factors.” Enhanced customer focus 2.
