Polystrand™ thermoplastic structural composites give you the chance to flex your creative muscle
Continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites
Replacing Aluminum with Long Fiber Thermoplastics (LFT)
https://www.avient.com/idea/could-polyketone-be-next-generation-nylon-alternative
With PK, you can get engineered thermoplastic performance with an added benefit of a polyolefin carbon footprint.
In each comparison, polyketone thermoplastics offer product engineers and designers a new tool in the product development toolbox for engineering plastics.
One of the other key values of polyketone thermoplastics is their incredible chemical resistance, especially in contrast to aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data)
Senior management uses comparisons of adjusted net income attributable to PolyOne common shareholders, adjusted earnings per share (EPS) attributable to PolyOne common
shareholders and operating income before special items 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.

of elastomer applied on the substrate, the harder it
will feel .
