HEXPOL: 1.6 TCR = 49% of Custom compounding (i.e., blending and mixing) of purchased plastics resins BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

HEXPOL safety composite

HEXPOL scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 68% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 20%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
