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.
Full-round or modified trapezoid runners are the best design and provide
the least surface to cross section ratio.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
• The ability to successfully integrate acquired companies into our operations, retain the management teams of acquired companies, retain
relationships with customers of acquired companies, and achieve the expected results of such acquisitions, including whether such
businesses will be accretive to our earnings;
• 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;
• Changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding the disposal of plastic in jurisdictions where we
conduct business;
• Changes in global industry capacity or in the rate at which anticipated changes in industry capacity come online;
• 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;
• Information systems failures and cyber attacks; and
• 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.

Tax adjustments include the net tax (expense) benefit from one-time income tax items, the set-up or reversal of uncertain tax position reserves and deferred income tax valuation allowance
adjustments.
