We continue to see upside opportunities to expand our portfolio of offerings and better serve our customers, and we remain committed to delivering $0.50 of EPS accretion from the deal in 2015.”
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the final amount of charges resulting from the North American asset realignment and our ability to realize anticipated savings and operational benefits from the asset realignment; our ability to achieve the strategic and other objectives relating to the acquisition of Spartech Corporation, including any expected synergies; our ability to successfully integrate Spartech and achieve the expected results of the acquisition, including, without limitation, the acquisition being accretive at expected levels and within the expected timeframe; disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; the financial condition of our customers, including the ability of customers (especially those that may be highly leveraged and those with inadequate liquidity) to maintain their credit availability; the speed and extent of an economic recovery, including the recovery of the housing market; our ability to achieve new business gains; the effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs, and other political, economic and regulatory risks; changes in polymer consumption growth rates where we conduct business; changes in global industry capacity or in the rate at which anticipated changes in industry capacity come online; fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply and in energy prices and supply; production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs; unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; an inability to achieve or delays in achieving or achievement of less than the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to working capital reductions, cost reductions, and employee productivity goals; an inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services; an inability to maintain appropriate relations with unions and employees; the inability to achieve expected results from our acquisition activities; our ability to continue to pay cash dividends; the amount and timing of repurchases of our common shares, if any; and other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including, without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates and changes in the rate of inflation.

This guide will focus on
the latter and highlight best practices to reduce
areas of localized stress at common areas of
concern, such as corners and edges as well as
reinforcing and assembly features .
RIBS
Ribs are thin, reinforcing features that can add
structure and strength to a part .
GUSSETS
Gussets are support features that reinforce the
connection between vertical features (such as
walls or bosses) and the part’s floor .
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-09/oncap-anti-fog-product-bulletin.pdf
They reinforce packaging integrity by maintaining a
film’s sealing properties, avoiding delamination of
the film structure, and maintaining transparency.

This demonstrates
whether there is any residual dead zone material that continues to enter the melt stream.
With new innovative technologies, Avient continues to develop TPEs that bond to a
variety of substrates.
If the heaters are on
continuously, there is not enough heat being produced from shear.
