PolyOne manages the implementation of GHS so as to accurately reflect the properties of our products, and
while we do not anticipate wholesale changes to the documents that accompany our solutions because of the
change, we do believe some changes will be evident.
As a solution provider in the global marketplace, PolyOne must
harmonize its own systems and capabilities in a timeframe to allow us to provide solutions globally.
Sincerely,
PolyOne Corporation

THE CHALLENGE
Smart Hero, a contract manufacturer
headquartered in China, produces a variety
of electronic products for OEMs around the
globe.
The team then turned to PolyOne
in Dongguan, China to see if we could offer
a solution.
