In late 2016, PolyOne acquired COMPTEK (Diez, Germany), a specialist in formulations based on extreme-heat polymeric materials such as PEEK, PES, PEI, PPS, PSU and PPSU.

These included headwinds from hydrocarbon based raw material deflation that reduced revenue by nearly $150 million and compressed margins, primarily within our PolyOne Distribution (POD) and Performance Products and Solutions (PP&S) segments. These associates led to an almost immediate impact in POD and PP&S, where sales cycles are often the shortest within the company. STOCK PERFORMANCE PolyOne’s stock performance has significantly outpaced the S&P 500 index and the S&P Mid Cap Chemicals index. 12.31.09 12.31.10 12.31.11 12.31.12 12.31.13 12.31.14 12.31.15 12.31.16 OPERATING INCOME % OF SALES Color, Additives & Inks Specialty Engineered Materials PP&S Distribution Designed Structures & Solutions 2006 “Where we were” 1.7% 1.1% 5.5% 2.6% N/A 2016 “Where we are” 16.0% 14.3% 11.1% 6.4% -0.9% 2020 Platinum Vision 20% + 20% + 12–14% 6.5–7.5% 8–10% 500 400 300 200 100 0 P E R C E N TA G E POL S&P MID CAP CHEMICALS S&P 500 A N N U A L D IV ID E N D $ /S H A R E RETURNING CASH TO SHAREHOLDERS .50 .40 .30 .20 .10 5+30+36+45+59+80+88+95 2.20 2.00 1.80 1.60 1.40 1.20 1.00 .80 .60 .40 .20 0 ADJUSTED EARNINGS PER SHARE*^ U .S .

The kit contains translucent polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and opaque/gradient polypropylene (PP) bottles enhanced with effect pigments, laser marking, and printed sleeves. They are available across multiple polymer systems, including PA6, PA66, PC, POM, PBT, PPS, and PK, and provide comparable performance to conventional internally lubricated grades (link to full press release here).

Compared to rubber and silicone alternatives, they simplify manufacturing with single-step fabrication, reducing the energy used in production, and can be overmolded directly onto a range of non-polar polymer substrates including PP and PE.
