Monomers make up the majority of the variable
cost of manufacturing the base resin.
The distribution of polymer resin is also highly competitive.
We believe these contracts should assure the availability of adequate amounts of
PVC resin and VCM.

On May 30, 2013, we sold our vinyl dispersion, blending and suspension resin assets (Resin Business)
to Mexichem Specialty Resins Inc.
The distribution of polymer resin is also highly competitive.
Note 5 — DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On May 30, 2013, PolyOne sold its Resin Business to Mexichem Specialty Resins Inc. for $250.0
million cash consideration.

Unlike chopped glass fibers, is a fine powder used to thicken resin.
To prepare your equipment for metal-filled compounds, start with glass-filled material in the same base resin—it’s less expensive.
Also, avoid allowing metallic filler to sit in the barrel at high temperatures for long periods of time—this could degrade the base resin.

ColorMatrix
LCX dispersions are designed to minimize and
eliminate screw slip, streaking and specking, all
while generating cost-to-color savings through
processing efficiencies that include:
• Handling efficiency – bulk distribution,
individual feed stations
• Inventory reduction – less inventory
and required floor space
• Process efficiency – improved color
change times
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Highly concentrated pigment dispersions
specifically for EBM processing
• Provides dimensional stability by utilizing more
resin instead of fillers
• Reduces costs through handling
and processing efficiencies
• Customization available for design
and product handling
• Can be formulated in combination with
a wide selection of additive technologies
to meet performance needs
MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS
ColorMatrix LCX Liquid Dispersions for EBM
processing are well suited for the following:
• Monolayer applications
• LDR less than 3%
• Large volume whites and blacks
• Tints
