PolyOne manages the implementation of GHS so as to accurately reflect the properties of our products, and while we do not anticipate wholesale changes to the documents that accompany our solutions because of the change, we do believe some changes will be evident. As a solution provider in the global marketplace, PolyOne must harmonize its own systems and capabilities in a timeframe to allow us to provide solutions globally. Sincerely, PolyOne Corporation Brian E.
