millions, except per share data) Senior management uses comparisons of adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to PolyOne common shareholders, adjusted earnings per share (EPS) attributable to PolyOne common shareholders and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to assess performance and allocate resources because senior management believes that these measures are useful in understanding current profitability levels and that current levels may serve as a base for future performance.

Steel/chromium alloys (approx. 13% Cr) are the preferred mold material due to their longevity and resistance.

The formulations offer improved fire safety with low smoke, fume, corrosiveness & toxicity. Antimicrobial additives work to resist, inhibit and prevent the growth of microbes including bacteria and mold. In addition to the lighter weight requirement, the material needed to resist warpage after molding, a common issue for thin walled plastic parts.

Antimicrobial additives work to resist, inhibit and prevent the growth of microbes including bacteria and mold. In addition to the lighter weight requirement, the material needed to resist warpage after molding, a common issue for thin walled plastic parts.

Notable advantages include streamlined manufacturing, resealing performance and coring resistance.

Impact modifiers, scratch resistance, and antioxidant additives are just a few examples.

The portfolio is specifically formulated for applications requiring high stiffness, tensile properties, heat resistance, impact performance, and durability in harsh environments while offering the ease of processing in most standard thermoplastic processing equipment.
