Frankland, “How Fillers Impact Extrusion Processing,” Plastics Technology (Nov. 2011), www.ptonline.com/columns/how-fillers-impact-extrusion-processing Graphene is a flat, single layer of carbon atoms in sheet form that is significantly stronger than steel.3 It has a high surface area-to-volume ratio, high tensile strength (how much it can stretch before it breaks), and high electron mobility (the speed at which its electrons move when voltage is applied).4 Graphene is not a new material, but it recently became commercially available and is now being used as a polymer additive.

Special items for the first quarter of 2015 included realignment charges and one-time tax adjustments, which resulted in a net after-tax charge of $11.4 million, or $0.12 per share (see Attachment 3). Patterson added, "Beyond 2015, we see tremendous growth upside as we continue to execute our four-pillar strategy and complete the integration of Spartech.  See Attachment 3 for a definition of special items.
