They are based on management's expectations that involve a number of business risks and uncertainties, any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: 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 effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; changes in laws and regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct business; 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; our ability to achieve strategic objectives and successfully integrate acquisitions, including Avient Protective Materials; an inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services; our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; information systems failures and cyberattacks; amounts for cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring plans that may differ from original estimates, including because of timing changes associated with the underlying actions; and other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates, changes in the rate of inflation and any recessionary conditions.

Color is reflective light.
Eventually, the color blocks enough light that it appears to be the correct color when viewed by eye.
The unfortunate twist to this solution is that different color ways need custom print parameters to achieve satisfactory results.

https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-01/Disinfectant Resistant Trilliant and Versaflex HC Materials Program Bulletin_0.pdf
Trilliant™ HC high performance formulations were
developed for specific healthcare enclosure needs,
including:
• Chemical resistance to common disinfectants
• UL 94 ratings of 5VA at 3.0, V-0 at 1.5 mm &
V-1 at 0.75 mm
• Retained color aesthetics after chemical
exposure
• Ability to utilize existing PC/PET & COPE tooling
Tested using an adaptation from ASTM D543 for
environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR),
15 bars of each material were placed into jigs at
1% and 2% strain.
Three bars were treated with
five different commercially available hospital
disinfectants once every 24 hours for three days.
Designed for two-
shot injection molding and formulated for the
appropriate substrate, these medical-grade TPEs
are compatible with rigid PVC, copolyesters, all
PC alloys, ABS, TPUs and PEI substrates.

How is polyketone different?
A noticeable difference here is impact properties, which are improved for nylons since water plasticizes nylon and makes them more impact resistant.
However, it surpasses ABS, COPET and PC alloys.
