COLOR, MATERIAL & FINISH DESIGN SERVICE
FIVE WAYS TO BRING CLARITY TO COLOR, MATERIAL
& FINISH SELECTION
D E M Y S T I F Y I N G C M F
FINDING THE RIGHT BALANCE BETWEEN LOOK,
FEEL AND FUNCTION IS IMPORTANT
BUT CHALLENGING
NEARLY 90% OF ALL PURCHASE DECISIONS ARE MADE SUBCONSCIOUSLY.
If it looks great, but can’t be manufactured or costs
too much, development dies on the vine.

HOW GLS TPEs MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN AUTOMOTIVE FASTENERS AND CLIPS
• Low compression set – coupled with good
stress relaxation, our automotive TPEs are
designed to maintain a good seal over time and
reduce noise generated by vibration
• High temperature performance – Avient
automotive TPEs provide good sealing
performance in temperatures up to
100°C/212°F
• Bonding performance - strong chemical bond
to polypropylene, polyethylene,
and polyamide
• Process flexibility - grades can be both
injection molded and extruded
• Easy to color - can be colored at the machine
• Reduced production steps - some grades do
not require pre-drying
• Low VOC/FOG - OnFlex HT™ has been externally
tested to VDA 278 and is proven to help satisfy
vehicle interior air quality (VIAQ) regulatory
requirements
• Single source supply – we can streamline your
supply chain with the ability to provide polymer
colorants, engineered thermoplastics, and
thermoplastic elastomers from a single source
• Global support - we provide production,
technical, and commercial support in locations
convenient to your operations, including North
America, Europe, and Asia

Senior management believes these measures are useful to
investors because they allow for comparison to Avient's performance in prior periods without the effect of items that, by their
nature, tend to obscure Avient's operating results due to the potential variability across periods based on timing, frequency and
magnitude.

Choosing a progressive cavity pump for transfer or metering
Choosing the controller
MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICE
Here are the options which should be considered for an informed choice of combinations:
(Note: LN = 3, 5 & 10L molded container PC = Progressing Cavity Pump Peri = Peristaltic Pump)
Avient can provide support and
assistance on every aspect of liquid
color and additive processing.
FURTHER USEFUL INFORMATION
In addition to the standard operating manuals for the
equipment, installation and operation videos can be
accessed on the Avient YouTube channel—look for:
• ColorMatrix FlexCart Micro
• ColorMatrix FlexCart G
• ColorMatrix FlexCart Mini
• ColorMatrix FlexCart V2
• ColorMatrix FlexCart Priming + Extrusion
• ColorMatrix FlexCart Priming + Calibration
CONTROLLER FUNCTIONALITY
The range of controllers
designed to run the FlexCart
units range includes:
• CMG3000
• CMG5000
• CMG6000
• Flex-G
The functionality
of the controller
systems is
designed with
flexibility and
customer
requirements
at its core.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except for per share data)
Senior management uses comparisons of adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to Avient shareholders
and diluted adjusted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations attributable to Avient shareholders, excluding special
items, to assess performance and facilitate comparability of results.
Senior management believes the measures described above are useful to investors because they allow for comparison to
Avient's performance in prior periods without the effect of items that, by their nature, tend to obscure Avient's operating results
due to the potential variability across periods based on timing, frequency and magnitude.
