Associate talent development and recruiting effectiveness now permeates our organization. The effective interest rate, including deferred financing costs, on the term loan was 5.7% during 2012. Management has assessed the effectiveness of PolyOne’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 and has concluded that such internal control over financial reporting is effective.

This meant more of the additive needed to be used to produce the desired effect, resulting in a higher unit cost. WithStand Antimicrobial Additives provide a proven, effective, durable, uncompromised solution to limit microbe development in finished plastic devices.

In order to improve our internal processes and bring ColorMatrix in line to the global Avient system a more effective working process for identifying risk and measuring progress through KPI’s is targeted to be implemented through 2024, which will allow us to improve the mitigation and monitoring of risk across our suppliers. Our effectiveness in combating slavery and human trafficking In 2024 the following key performance indicators (KPIs) will be used to measure how effective we have been in ensuring that slavery and human trafficking is not taking place in any part of our business or supply chains  100% completion of the Code of Conduct for all associates Page 3 of 3 Our on-going commitment As part of our modern slavery strategy we will continue to monitor the progress we have made and build on our achievements and initiatives in the next financial year.

In order to ensure the middle layer in a face mask can effectively block up to 95% of airborne particles, the material requires the addition of a specific additive prior to the meltblown stage followed by a process known as electret charging. Charging only works when the correct additive solution is utilized, and together with the fiber denier, gram weight and number of layers, it ensures the middle layer of protective masks can effectively trap small airborne particles.
