OUR VISION At Avient, we create specialized and sustainable material solutions that transform customer challenges into opportunities, bringing new products to life for a better world. We create specialized and sustainable material solutions that transform customer challenges into opportunities, bringing new products to life for a better world. Our customers value the breadth of our solutions as we can tap into a broad array of raw materials to solve their specific needs.

With these capabilities at our disposal, we assist you with recommending the following characteristics that make up your customized solution: • Resin system selection (i.e., nylon,polypropylene, rigid thermoplastic polyurethane, etc Software • SolidWorks • Digimat • MoldFlow • Abaqus • Siemens NX Onsite Processing Optimization Support Proper application development continues through commercialization of the new solution. Let us walk you through: Optimizing the LFT Molding Processes • Ensuring proper drying and preparation of the material (review of drying equipment) • Processing guidance for the specific grade (temperature and pressure suggestions) • Primary process development (including runner & gate geometry) • Secondary operation process development • Tooling debugging/optimization, especially if the injection mold is new Troubleshooting • Failure analysis/issue resolution (including pyrolysis/burn-off reviews to study internal fiber structure and length) • Process/mold support to perfect finished goods • Equipment review Training • Polymers fundamentals training • Design guidance for LFT IN-HOUSE PROTOTYPING SUPPORT Our 55,000 square foot Application Development Center is most often leveraged for new program prototyping and R&D trials.

PolyOne’s industry-leading portfolio of engineered composite panels offers a solution to these challenges. Our composite panels are custom engineered by varying core thicknesses to increase or decrease stiffness; by varying core materials (including end-grain balsa, foam or engineered woods) to increase or decrease weight; by varying fiber to modify the stiffness-to-weight ratio; and by varying the base polymer to increase or decrease strength

LubriOne™ Internally Lubricated Formulations – PTFE-free Solutions LubriOne™ Internally Lubricated Formulations are self-lubricating polymers, offering low coefficients of friction (COF) and improved wear-resistance properties for molded parts.

VALUE SOLUTION Traditionally light blocking was achieved with use of multilayer HDPE and PET packaging. Both paperboard and multilayer polymers restrict design freedom, so that the packaging is often less than ergonomic.

Reference Product Name Carrier CC10087477BG 87477 EVA Anti-Rat Masterbatch EVA CC10107079BG 107079 EVA Anti-Termite Masterbatch EVA CC10125842BG 5842 EVA Multi-Repel Masterbatch EVA VALUE SOLUTION The European Union adopted Guidelines in 2015 establishing that masterbatches with biocidal function needed to be authorized for use in European Union.1 As such, masterbatch products containing aversive or repellent substances are considered as a biocidal product.2 Indeed, deterring harmful organisms is a biocidal function. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Compliant with BPR EU No. 528/2012 PT19 requirements • Designed for incorporation into cable jackets exposed to rats and termites attack • Efficacy at low dosing 2–4% • “Low concern” and long lasting active substance • Compatible with most polymers TARGET MARKET AND APPLICATIONS Appropriate for all applications where cables can be exposed to rats and termites.

We know designing sustainable solutions often comes with challenges and questions. The materials, parts, polymers, chemicals and other components of the things we use are all designed to re-enter the ecosystem that helped produce them. Below are highlights from our portfolio of materials and solutions that support and advance the circular economy.

OnColor™ Brilliant Metallic Colorants OnColor™ Brilliant Metallic Colorants are highly reflective colorants that rely on premium coatings grade special-effect pigments to produce a striking look for polymer parts. Available in masterbatch solutions, the color combining possibilities are virtually endless.
