PolyOne Corporation Investor Day 2012 PolyOne Investor Presentation Deutsche Bank 2013 Global Industrials and Basic Materials Conference June 12, 2013 • In this presentation, statements that are not reported financial results or other historical information are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. They use words such as “will,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance and/or sales You are advised to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our reports on Form 10-Q, 8-K and 10-K that we provide to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historic or current facts. They use words such as "will," “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial condition, performance and/or sales. Continued supply chain challenges persisted during Q2 related to raw material spot purchases, freight constraints and productivity loss as a result of these shortages.

SMARTER MATERIALS™ High-Performance Thermoplastics Contents Table of Introduction Your Next Move Advantages Creative Color All In The Family Processing Options Critical Differences Measuring Thermal Performance Markets & Applications Just like elite athletes who surpass the limits of typical human accomplishment, high-performance thermoplastics surpass commodity and even engineering resins with their exceptional capabilities. To answer these, we will look at five different material families: • Polyaryletherketones (PAEK) • Polysulfones (PSU) • Liquid crystal polymers (LCP) • Polyetherimides (PEI) • Polyphenylene sulfides (PPS) Read on to discover the diverse and growing uses for these elite-level performers of the thermoplastic world. Following are top reasons why many manufacturers and designers choose high-performance thermoplastics: • High-temperature resistance • Chemical resistance • Flame/smoke/toxicity (FST) performance • Chemically inert PLUS, ALL THE BENEFITS OF PLASTIC In addition to their elite-level properties, high-performance thermoplastics deliver the typical advantages of polymers over other material types such as metal, glass and ceramic, including: • Light weight • Design freedom/part consolidation • Easy colorability • Efficient, high-volume processing • Elimination of secondary operations • Enhanced product experience for the end user - quieter environment - improved tactile feel - better usability ADVANTAGES Going Above and Beyond • Amorphous structure • High marks for toughness, chemical resistance, hydrolytic stability, resistance to boiling water, and extreme thermal capabilities • Best for: aerospace interiors, hot water fittings, and medical and dental devices that are subjected to repeated steam sterilization • Also used in food equipment exposed to temperature extremes, such as coffeemakers or freezer-to-microwave cookware Polyaryletherketones Polysulfones Liquid crystal polymers Polyetherimides Polyphenylene sulfides There are five major families of high-performance thermoplastics AR YL ET H KE TO N ES SU LF O N ES• Semi-crystalline structure • High marks for thermal stability, chemical resistance and mechanical properties over a wide temperature range • Better-than-average levels of combustion resistance and electrical performance • Some PAEK materials, like polyetheretherketone (PEEK), are also extremely tough and have excellent impact strength • Best for: aerospace, automotive, industrial and medical components • May be used to create stock shapes such as rods, bars, and tubes All in the Family PH EN YL EN E SU LF ES • Semi-crystalline structure • Excellent temperature resistance with continuous service temperatures up to 230°C • High marks for modulus and resistance to creep, corrosion, and chemicals • Above-average electrical properties • Best for: complex parts with extremely tight tolerances; often used as an alternative to metals and thermosets in automotive underhood parts, appliances, electronics, and industrial applications Polyaryletherketones Polysulfones Liquid crystal polymers Polyetherimides Polyphenylene sulfides There are five major families of high-performance thermoplastics ET H IM ES LI Q U C RY ST AL P O M S • Semi-crystalline structure • High degree of anisotropy: strength, stiffness and thermal expansion will be greater in one direction vs. the other • High marks for temperature, chemical and electrical resistance • Exceptional mechanical strength and high flow rates; often used to fill extremely long parts with thin walls • Best for: electronic connectors, sensors, bullet-resistant vests, jet engine enclosures, brake and transmission friction parts, and gaskets • Amorphous structure • High marks for thermal, mechanical, and chemical properties • Often selected for demanding applications requiring ultra-high mechanical strength combined with high temperature, corrosion and wear resistance • Impact resistance may be lower than that of PSUs and PAEKs • Best for: aerospace interiors, automotive lighting, medical devices, and electrical and fiber optic connectors All in the Family Source: https://www.craftechind.com/standard-and-custom-parts-in-high-performance-plastics/ TEMPERATURE AND MATERIAL TYPE The two broad classifications of high-performance thermoplastics—amorphous and semi-crystalline— have different temperature characteristics.

Colorant and additive masterbatches created with virgin resin, however, means a package does not reach the full 100% PCR goal. 

Our No Surprises Pledge means you will consistently receive materials that meet and perform to your specifications

OnCap™ Anti-Fogging Additives are a cost-effective means of preventing water droplets from forming inside food packaging. 

That means you can eliminate the need for a costly two-step manufacturing process to fuse or fasten parts, and also reduce overall component weight. 

This means that while it can take up to six minutes to download a full-length movie in 4G, it can be done in as little as 15 seconds with 5G, and this is just the beginning. ¹
