PolyOne IR Presentation – Global High Yield & Leveraged Finance Conference – 2/24/2020 to 2/26/2020 Polyone Corporation at JPMorgan Global High Yield and Leveraged Finance Conference

Demonstrating to industries the long-term benefits of choosing materials that have high post-use residual value is a challenge that must be overcome in order to create a circular economy. The report also identifies strategies for nearly doubling that figure to 17% by 2030 by identifying sectors with a high potential for change. Industries should also develop action plans for transitioning to sustainable energies and materials that can retain a high value in the post-consumer market.

Polyamide (i.e. nylon) is preferred plastic in many high end applications due to its crystalline structure and high melting temperature. The viscosity is in the lower end of the spectrum as shown in the figure 2 in high shear rate regimes. Nylon 66 has the highest melt temperature, i.e. 265 oC which would require a TPE with good, high temperature melt stability.

TAKE THE HEAT FLEX, RETURN, REPEAT PROCESSED & RAW FOOD PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS FORESTRY PRODUCTS RECYCLED MATERIALS MINED/QUARRIED ROCK, ORE, COAL, SAND POWDER AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS Avient composite springs are tested to 1.5+ million cycles with no loss of spring rate. 1.5+ MILLION CYCLES Avient composite springs maintain performance levels even in high temperature applications up to 300°F. 300° FAHRENHEIT • Composites are up to 70% lighter than steel. • Composites resist corrosion; steel rusts easily unless it is painted or coated. 70% LIGHTER TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE Based on the proven performance of Gordon Glass™, the material of choice in composite archery bow limbs since 1953, our thermoset composite springs deliver unmatched strength & deflection for the most demanding applications.
