Monomers make up the majority of the variable cost of manufacturing the base resin. The distribution of polymer resin is also highly competitive. We believe these contracts should assure the availability of adequate amounts of PVC resin and VCM.

The distribution of polymer resin is also highly competitive. Vice President, Epoxy Specialties Resins of Hexion Inc. a global manufacturer of thermoset resins) from June 2013 to May 2015.

On May 30, 2013, we sold our vinyl dispersion, blending and suspension resin assets (Resin Business) to Mexichem Specialty Resins Inc. The distribution of polymer resin is also highly competitive. Note 5 — DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On May 30, 2013, PolyOne sold its Resin Business to Mexichem Specialty Resins Inc. for $250.0 million cash consideration.

These materials are formulated using select engineering resins along with proprietary conductive additives, and have been shown to improve thermal conductivity by 50-100 times that of conventional plastics. 

Complēt PKE formulations offer a reduced carbon footprint as a result of the base resin, helping to improve sustainability over the end product lifecycle.  

Based in polysulfone resins, they provide ultra-high-heat resistance and performance without compromising safety while also responding to the needs of extended shelf life.
