The liquid is then extruded through bushings
and are coated (sized) to help bundle the filaments and prepare the
fibers for composite resin interface.

Body Adhesive
This adhesive is a solvent containing the
parent resin of the parts to be bonded .
The
layout should be balanced and even, and should
position on non-cosmetic surfaces .2 Balanced
ejection is critical for Gravi-Tech filled resins.
Melt Temperature
The viscosity of Gravi-Tech materials is higher
than with NEAT resins due to the amount of filler
content .

Specialty portfolio transformation accelerated with the acquisition of Spartech and the divestiture of non-core resin assets
GAAP earnings per share were $2.53 for the full year, which included the gain on the sale of the non-core resin assets in May 2013.
This year was no exception, as we divested our last remaining base resin assets and reinvested the proceeds in our Specialty Platform with the acquisition of Spartech.

The carrier resin could cause
performance problems in a few
polymers.
Actual color may vary
depending on specific resin and
processing conditions.
Calculate using Let Down Percentage:
Cost/lb of Concentrate x (Let Down Percentage/100) = Coloring Cost
Calculate using Let Down Ratio:
Cost/lb of Concentrate – Cost/lb of Resin
Let Down Ratio +1
= Coloring Cost

The distribution of polymer resin is also highly competitive.
We believe this contract assures the availability of adequate amounts of PVC resin.
