In particular, these include statements relating to future actions; prospective changes in raw material
costs, product pricing or product demand; future performance; estimated capital expenditures; results of current and anticipated market conditions and market strategies; sales efforts; expenses; the outcome of contingencies such as
legal proceedings and environmental liabilities; and financial results.
This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of certain items, such as, but not limited to, restructuring costs, environmental remediation costs, acquisition-related costs, and other non-
routine costs.
Whether
an additional line at an existing
manufacturing plant, or a new
facility in a growing region, we
ramp-up quickly and cost-efficiently.

By replacing aluminum with a thermoplastic,
Elausa was looking to reduce cost, part weight and
improve ease of manufacturing, all while maintaining an
equivalent level of thermal conductivity and ensuring
comparable performance.
This combined
with the design freedom, weight reduction, and cost
advantages of thermoplastics, opens up the possibility
to use them for metal replacement.
Next to lower density, design optimization for
the use of thermally conductive materials is key for the
weight and cost saving that our Avient Design specialists
provide as an additional service to our customers.

These ‘pirates’
copied the manufacturer’s products and sold the copies
to unsuspecting customers, which not only ate into
revenue but also raised the cost of sales and the potential
for unjustified product responsibility issues.
As a result, these legal costs became
a significant and completely unforeseen drain on
finances.
Revenue increased, and the
cost to fight lawsuits sank.

• Significant raw material price inflation and
tight inventory continued in Q2 2022,
although at a slightly lesser rate compared
to the prior quarter
o For Q2 2022, the average cost of key
hydrocarbon based materials was up 15%,
roughly the same as the average cost of non-

SUP pro paddles are typically equipped with carbon
fiber shafts, but this option was too cost-prohibitive for
the mid-level market.
And Carbonerro also needed to keep costs
down to produce a more economical solution for the
non-professional enthusiast.
An unsinkable stand up paddle with
improved stiffness and performance, and an overall cost
savings to both the consumer and the company.

HOW VERSAFLEX TPEs MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN PORTABLE SPEAKERS APPLICATIONS
GASKETS
Water and Dust Protection
- Tight housing seals with no leakage over time
Reduced Manufacturing Costs
- Eliminates sourcing and assembly steps required of
O-rings by overmolding directly onto the substrate;
strong adhesion to PC & ABS
- Faster cycle times than silicone or TPU
Design Freedom
- Injection molding TPEs in gaskets enables
complex designs in which simple O-rings would be
challenging to assemble
SPEAKER SKINS
Durable Look and Feel
- Silky feel soft touch
- Long lasting aesthetics with abrasion and UV
resistance
Reduced Manufacturing Costs
- Eliminates sourcing and assembly steps
required of silicone skins by overmolding
directly onto the substrate; strong
adhesion to PC & ABS
- Faster cycle times than silicone or TPU
Design Freedom
- Overmolding TPE removes the need for
mechanical interlocks and primers to get
silicone materials to adhere to substrates

|A team of engineers at this firm was looking
for a way to reduce the manufacturing cost
of its line of solar-powered lights made using
painted metal.
Most
importantly, the plastic light had to have
lower manufacturing costs than the painted
metal light.
THE IMPACT
Moving from painted metal to pre-colored
Geon M5705 material reduced Smart Hero’s
manufacturing costs by over $300,000
annually, due to lower scrap rates and the
elimination of painting.
