In order to optimize its profit margins, the company sought to control system costs by avoiding secondary assembly and handling.
Lower system costs = higher margins: By reducing waste from part deformation, the Avient TPE allowed the manufacturer to leverage efficient, fast 2K molding for system cost reduction.
With OnFlex-S TPE, the company achieved system cost benefits that have made this product line a profitable one.

In particular, these include statements relating to future actions; prospective changes in raw
material costs, product pricing or product demand; future performance; estimated capital expenditures; results of current and anticipated market conditions and market strategies; sales efforts; expenses; the outcome of contingencies such as legal
proceedings and environmental liabilities; and financial results.
This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of
certain items, such as, but not limited to, mark-to-market adjustments associated with benefit plans, environmental remediation costs, acquisition-related costs, and other non-routine costs.
