We completed our testing of impairment as of October 1, noting no impairment in 2013,
2012 or 2011.
These actions are expected to be completed by the end of
2014.
Upon completion, projects are reclassified to technology and amortized
over their useful lives.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2021-10/microbial-susceptibility-of-various-polymers-and-evaluation.pdf
The various susceptibility tests performed herein
clearly showed the vulnerability of TPE formulations; all
six formulations exhibited heavy fungal growth, in addi-
tion to failing JIS Z2801 (with higher median bacterial
growth relative to the control film) and modified ASTM
E1428 testing with complete pink stain coverage.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
Our ability to realize anticipated savings and operational benefits from the realignment of assets, including the planned closure of certain manufacturing
facilities;
The timing of closings and shifts of production to new facilities related to asset realignments and any unforeseen loss of customers and/or disruptions of
service or quality caused by such closings and/or production shifts;
Separation and severance amounts that differ from original estimates and amounts for non-cash charges related to asset write-offs and accelerated
depreciation realignments of property, plant and equipment, that differ from original estimates;
Our ability to identify and evaluate acquisition targets and consummate acquisitions;
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, Spartech Corporation and Accella Performance Materials;
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;
Our ability to achieve new business gains; the effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks;
Changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding the disposal of plastic materials in jurisdictions where we conduct
business;
Changes in global industry capacity or in the rate at which anticipated changes in industry capacity come online in the industries in which we participate;
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 and employee productivity goals;
An inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services;
An inability to maintain appropriate relations with unions and employees;
Our ability to continue to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends;
The amount and timing of repurchases of our common shares, if any;
Other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including, without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates and
changes in the rate of inflation

The team entered material data relevant to
ergonomic performance into the FEA software
to complete the model.
A stress-strain curve was used to extract the
stiffness value for the Complēt™ material.
The setup was completed by fixing the impact surface of
the hammer and applying a 1g (gravity force = 9.8 m/s/s)
excitation in the X-direction, as shown in Figure 21.

Due to the
thin viscosity and mobile nature of the product,
consideration should be given to packaging and
the need for complete product integrity throughout
the distribution chain.
