Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We are furnishing this opinion in connection with the Registration
Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") of Wellman, Inc. (the
"Company"), a Delaware corporation, and the subsidiary guarantors named in
Schedule I hereto (the "Subsidiary Guarantors") to be filed on or about the date
hereof with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), relating to
securities to be issued and sold by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors
from time to time pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act for an aggregate initial
offering price not to exceed $400,000,000.

     We have reviewed the Registration Statement, including the prospectus (the
"Prospectus") that is a part of the Registration Statement. The Prospectus
provides that it will be supplemented in the future by one or more supplements
to the Prospectus (each a "Prospectus Supplement"). The Prospectus, as
supplemented by various Prospectus Supplements, will provide for the issuance
and sale by the Company of (i) one or more series of debt securities (the "Debt
Securities"), (ii) guarantees of the Debt Securities (the "Subsidiary
Guarantees") by the Subsidiary Guarantors, (iii) shares of common stock, $.001
par value (the "Common Stock"), (iv) warrants to purchase Common Stock or Debt
Securities (collectively, the "Warrants"), (v) stock purchase contracts
obligating the holders thereof to, upon settlement, purchase a fixed or varying
number of shares of Common Stock ("Stock Purchase Contracts"), and (vi) units
comprised of one or more Debt Securities, Subsidiary Guarantees, shares of
Common Stock, Warrants, and Stock Purchase Contracts in any combination
(collectively, the "Units"). The Debt Securities, the Subsidiary Guarantees, the
Common Stock, Warrants, Stock Purchase Contracts and the Units are collectively
referred to herein as the "Securities." The Registration Statement provides that
Debt Securities may be convertible into shares of Common Stock.

     The Debt Securities will be issued pursuant to one or more indentures in
the form filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, as amended or
supplemented from time to time (each, an "Indenture"), between the Company, as
obligor, the Subsidiary Guarantors (if applicable) and a trustee chosen by the
Company and qualified to act as such under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended (each, a "Trustee"). The Warrants will be issued under one or more
warrant agreements (each, a "Warrant Agreement") by and among the Company and a
financial institution identified therein as warrant agent (each, a "Warrant
Agent"). The Units will be issued under one or more unit agreements (each, a
"Unit Agreement") between the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors (if applicable)
and a unit agent selected by the Company (the "Unit Agent").

     We have acted as your counsel in connection with the preparation of the
Registration Statement and are familiar with certain proceedings taken and
proposed to be taken by the Company in connection with the authorization and
issuance of the Securities. We have made such examination as we consider
necessary to render this opinion.

     The opinions expressed below are limited to the laws of the state of
Delaware and the federal laws of the United States.

     Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

     1. When (i) the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors (if applicable) and the
Trustee duly execute and deliver an Indenture and the specific terms of a
particular Debt Security have been duly established in accordance with the terms
of such Indenture, and such Debt Securities have been duly authenticated by the
Trustee and duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Company against payment
therefor in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Indenture and as
contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the related
Prospectus Supplement(s) and (ii) the Registration Statement and any required
post-effective amendments thereto have all become effective under the Securities
Act, and assuming that (a) the Indenture and all amendments thereto, the
particular Debt Securities and the Subsidiary Guarantees (if applicable) are
duly approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors, respectively, as required by applicable law, (b) the terms of the
Debt Securities as executed and delivered and the Subsidiary Guarantees (if
applicable) are as described in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and
the related Prospectus Supplement(s), (c) the Debt Securities and the Subsidiary
Guarantees (if applicable) as executed and delivered do not violate any law
applicable to the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors, respectively, or result
in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the





Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors, respectively, (d) the Debt Securities and
the Subsidiary Guarantees (if applicable) as executed and delivered comply with
all requirements and restrictions, if any, applicable to the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors, respectively, whether imposed by any court or
governmental or regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Company, and (e)
the Debt Securities and the Subsidiary Guarantees (if applicable) are then
issued and sold as contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus
and the related Prospectus Supplement(s), the Debt Securities and the Subsidiary
Guarantees (if applicable) will constitute valid and binding obligations of the
Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, respectively, enforceable against the
Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, respectively, in accordance with their
respective.

     2. The Company has the authority pursuant to the Articles to issue up to
100,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Upon adoption by the Board of Directors of
the Company of a resolution in form and content as required by applicable law
and upon issuance and delivery of and payment for such shares in the manner
contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the related
Prospectus Supplement(s) and by such resolution, such shares of Common Stock
will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

     3. When (i) the Company and the Warrant Agent duly execute and deliver a
Warrant Agreement and the specific terms of a particular Warrant have been duly
established in accordance with the terms of such Warrant Agreement, and such
Warrants have been duly authenticated by the Warrant Agent and duly executed and
delivered on behalf of the Company against payment therefor in accordance with
the terms and provisions of the Warrant Agreement and as contemplated by the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the related Prospectus Supplement(s)
and (ii) the Registration Statement and any required post-effective amendments
thereto have all become effective under the Securities Act, and assuming that
(a) the Warrant Agreement and all amendments thereto and the particular Warrants
are duly approved by the Board of Directors of the Company as required by
applicable law, (b) the terms of the Warrants as executed and delivered are as
described in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the related
Prospectus Supplement(s), (c) the Warrants as executed and delivered do not
violate any law applicable to the Company or result in a default under or breach
of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company, (d) the Warrants as
executed and delivered comply with all requirements and restrictions, if any,
applicable to the Company, whether imposed by any court or governmental or
regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Company, and (e) the Warrants are
then issued and sold as contemplated in the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus and the related Prospectus Supplement(s), the Warrants will
constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the
Company in accordance with their terms.

     4. When (i) the Company and the Unit Agent duly execute and deliver a Unit
Agreement and the specific terms of a particular Unit have been duly established
in accordance with the terms of such Unit Agreement, and such Units have been
duly authenticated by the Unit Agent and duly executed and delivered on behalf
of the Company against payment therefor in accordance with the terms and
provisions of the Unit Agreement and as contemplated by the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus and the related Prospectus Supplement(s) and (ii) the
Registration Statement and any required post-effective amendments thereto have
all become effective under the Securities Act, and assuming that (a) the Unit
Agreement and all amendments thereto and the particular Units are duly approved
by the Board of Directors of the Company as required by applicable law, (b) the
terms of the Units as executed and delivered are as described in the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the related Prospectus Supplement(s),
(c) the Units as executed and delivered do not violate any law applicable to the

all requirements and restrictions, if any, applicable to the Company, whether
imposed by any court or governmental or regulatory body having jurisdiction over
the Company, and (e) the Units are then issued and sold as contemplated in the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the related Prospectus Supplement(s),
the Units will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company,
enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

     5. When (i) the execution of the Stock Purchase Contracts has been duly
authorized by the Company and each counter-party thereunder by appropriate
action, (ii) the Stock Purchase Contracts have been duly executed and delivered
by the Company and the counter-party thereunder, (iii) the Board of Directors
and appropriate officers of the Company have taken all necessary action to
approve the issuance and terms of the Stock Purchase Contracts and related
matters and (iv) the Stock Purchase Contracts, in an appropriate form, have been
duly executed and delivered by the Company and countersigned by the
counter-party thereunder and delivered and paid for as contemplated by any
applicable purchase or underwriting agreement and the Registration Statement,
the Stock Purchase Contracts will constitute valid and legally binding
obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with
its terms.

     The foregoing opinions are subject to: (i) the effect of bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar
laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting the rights and remedies
of creditors; (ii) general principles of equity (whether considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law); and (iii) the unenforceability under certain
circumstances under law or court decisions of provisions providing for the
indemnification of, or contribution to, a





party with respect to a liability where such indemnification or contribution is
contrary to public policy. We express no opinion concerning the enforceability
of any waiver of rights or defenses with respect to stay, extension or usury
laws, and we express no opinion with respect to whether acceleration of Debt
Securities may affect the collectibility of any portion of the stated principal
amount thereof which might be determined to constitute unearned interest
thereon.

     We assume for purposes of this opinion that the Company is and will remain
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under Delaware law.

     To the extent that the obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors under an Indenture may be dependent thereon, we assume for purposes
of this opinion that the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors have the
organizational power and authority to issue and sell the Securities; that the
applicable Indenture has been duly authorized by all necessary organizational
action by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors has been duly executed and
delivered by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors and constitutes the
valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors enforceable against the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in
accordance with its terms; that the Trustee for each Indenture is duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of organization; that the Trustee is duly qualified to engage in
the activities contemplated by the applicable Indenture; that the applicable
Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trustee and
constitutes a legally valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Trustee,
enforceable against the Trustee in accordance with its terms; that the Trustee
is in compliance, generally and with respect to acting as Trustee under the
applicable Indenture, with all applicable laws and regulations; and that the
Trustee has the requisite organizational and legal power and authority to
perform its obligations under the applicable Indenture.

     To the extent that the obligations of the Company under each Warrant
Agreement or Unit Agreement as applicable, may be dependent thereon, we assume
for purposes of this opinion that the Company has the corporate power and
authority to issue and sell the Securities; that the applicable Warrant
Agreement or Unit Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action by the Company, has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and
constitutes the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Company
enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms; that the
applicable Warrant Agent or Unit Agent is duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization; that the
Warrant Agent or Unit Agent is duly qualified to engage in the activities
contemplated by the Warrant Agreement or Unit Agreement; that the Warrant
Agreement or Unit Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
the Warrant Agent or Unit Agent and constitutes the legally valid, binding and
enforceable obligation of the Warrant Agent or Unit Agent, enforceable against
the Warrant Agent or Unit Agent in accordance with its terms; that the Warrant
Agent or Unit Agent is in compliance, generally and with respect to acting as a
Warrant Agent or Unit Agent under the applicable Warrant Agreement or Unit

or Unit Agent has the requisite organizational and legal power and authority to
perform its obligations under the applicable Warrant Agreement or Unit

     We consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption "Legal Matters" in
