ThermoBallistic thermoplastic panels are thermally formed with e-glass and thermoplastic resin systems, offering a cost-competitive alternative to ballistic-resistant materials made with other fibers or thermoset resins.

Avient’s reinforced composite technologies use carbon, glass and aramid fibers with custom formulated thermoset or thermoplastic resins in continuous forming processes

Antimony trioxide, commonly referred to as ATO, is typically a white, solid powder that can form dust in air. Because antimony trioxide is a fine powder, the most likely exposure scenario is due to dust that could form when the bags are being discharged in an industrial setting. However, it can react with other materials in the soil and water to form other compounds.

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. 1) Special items include charges related to
