When showing constant dollar figures on GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, the foreign exchange impact is calculated by using current foreign exchange rates and applying them to the prior period results. Unless otherwise stated, Adjusted EBITDA figures included in this presentation exclude the impact of special items as defined in our quarterly earnings releases. Additionally, Adjusted EPS excludes the impact of special items and amortization expense associated with intangible assets.2 Q4 2022 VS.

Incorporating sustainable raw materials into your polymers is a great way to enhance the environmental impact of your products. Incorporating sustainable raw materials into final products may raise concerns about the impact on final product performance. High demand, limited supply 

Although polyketone is a relatively new class of polymer, it is growing in popularity as application engineers seek high-performing alternatives to nylons and POM amid supply constraints and sustainability goals. Polyketone is considered “eco-conscious” due to the reduced environmental impact of this base resin during the production process compared to PA6, PA66, and POM. A noticeable difference here is impact properties, which are improved for nylons since water plasticizes nylon and makes them more impact resistant.

Consumers and investors alike are paying close attention to plastic packaging and its potential negative impact on the environment. In 2019, the EU enacted its Single Use Plastics directive aimed at reducing the impact that such products have on the environment. These commitments and mandates will continue to drive the high and increasing demand for recycled plastic bottles.

They realized they might be able to shave off even more weight and improve performance by replacing the aluminum braces with a continuous-fiber composite if they could find a material with an exceptional strength- to-weight ratio, high flexural stiffness, good torsional rigidity, and superior fatigue strength. THE IMPACT Finding ways to reduce weight is a high priority for vehicle manufacturers, because lighter weight corresponds to better fuel efficiency for gas-powered vehicles and more miles per charge for electric cars.

Traditionally aluminum or zinc aluminum alloys (Zamak) are used for heat sinks due to their high thermal conductivity, which was also the case at Elausa. However, compared with engineered thermoplastics, these materials have a relatively high density, are more complicated and energy intense to process, and may suffer from corrosion. THE IMPACT Optimizing the part design for Therma-Tech thermoplastics and simulating its temperature distribution and thermal dissipation confirmed its thermal performance would be similar or slightly better compared to the metal originally used.

THE CHALLENGE PVC sheet and profile extrusion processors were looking for ways to hit lower density targets while maintaining a high-quality cell structure. The lower the density that processors used, the more they conceded a high- quality cell structure. THE IMPACT As tests and trials were conducted, it was shown that the Excelite dispersion interacted more intimately and consistently with PVC resin, essentially becoming part of the PVC resin matrix.

These power stations sidestep high land costs and remove all obstacles to light absorption. THE IMPACT Avient offers specialized solutions targeted at helping the fast-growing solar energy industry in China to meet government objectives for reducing carbon footprint.
