A number of foreign countries and domestic communities have enacted, or are considering enacting, laws and regulations concerning the use and disposal of plastic materials. Widespread adoption of these laws and regulations, along with public perception, may have an adverse impact on sales of plastic materials. Our Business We are a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions with operations in specialty engineered materials, color and additive systems, plastic sheet and packaging solutions and polymer distribution.

The slide presentations will be made available on this site as well, at the onset of the event. http://www.avient.com/investors 2 About Avient Avient Corporation (NYSE: AVNT), with expected 2021 revenues of $4.75 billion, provides specialized and sustainable material solutions that transform customer challenges into opportunities, bringing new products to life for a better world. Examples include: • Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy • Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint • Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility Avient employs approximately 8,400 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.

This meant the raw materials and processing method needed to be reconsidered. In addition to the lighter weight requirement, the material and process would need to deliver an ultra-low cycle time with improved processability and tailored crystallization dynamics, while also resisting warpage after molding, a common issue for thin walled plastic parts. An added challenge was to ensure the material was stabilized against potential degradation.

Fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) is a preferred material for cable jacketing or insulation of a conductor, and often needs to be marked. Handling some of the most challenging and high-performance plastic applications Smarter Materials™ High Performance Thermoplastics: eBook
