Superior to capital-intensive multilayer preforms, the light blocking additive can easily be added to PET using a single-stage process for monolayer bottles, resulting in lower machinery costs and no loss in light blocking performance. The simplicity of the monolayer injection process can also lead to reduced production cost and has the potential to offer lighter-weight bottles due to fewer restrictions in bottle wall thickness for single layer constructions. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Design for shelf life, ergonomics and differentiation • Lighter weight bottles • Lower system cost vs. other rigid packaging TARGET MARKET AND APPLICATIONS UHT Dairy Packaging TECHNOLOGY BENEFITS • 100% visible light blocking for monolayer containers • Recyclable with general PET waste stream, even though additive is also present • Lower system cost • Offers shape differentiation for containers • Enables container designs that increase ease of pouring • Useful for re-sealable containers • Useful for containers that can be stored flat after opening • Offers light-weighting for PET bottle without reducing light blocking performance www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.

MEETING FR GOALS IN DATA CABLES WITH AN ALTERNATIVE TO FEP Maxxam FR materials can provide cost savings and improved processing capabilities when used in category 5e cables and above. THE IMPACT When compared with FEP, Maxxam FR formulations offer significant cost savings and improve processing ease. Upon achieving full-scale production, the manufacturer was also able to reach line speeds of over 1,000 fpm at thicknesses of 10 mil or below, while reducing material costs by 33%.

Renol™ Fiber Colorants Deep Black Colorants for PET Fibers The textile market, particularly in the automotive textiles, apparel, and home decor sectors, has long sought after deep black colorants that offer exceptional jetness and light fastness without incurring exorbitant costs. Our team of fiber experts provides guidance to ensure that the desired color intensity and performance are achieved in a cost-efficient way. APPLICATIONS • Automotive textiles and upholstery, e.g., seat covers, liners, carpets • Home textiles, e.g., sofa covers, pillows, curtains • Apparel, e.g., fashion clothing, sportswear BENEFITS • Deep and intense black coloration with high light fastness • Adapted to polyester fibers including recycled grades • Highly efficient formulation to increase processability and reduce costs • Excellent washing fastness for textile products that are frequently washed, e.g., sportswear • Can be customized to achieve the desired intensity PRODUCT BULLETIN Copyright © 2023, Avient Corporation.

Working together, we can help you arrive at an optimal solution with speed and accuracy, while helping to lower product development and manufacturing costs. High strength produces parts with greater stiffness and warp resistance, again minimizing scrap-related costs. Superior durability reduces breakage and resultant scrap related costs.

Tailored to customer design and performance specifications, panels are engineered with custom formulated resins, structural core materials, and fibers to achieve specific stiffness, strength, weight, performance and cost targets. An engineered panel can reduce system costs through elimination of welding, drilling, bolting and riveting typically associated with metallic panel fabrication. Unlimited lengths and a continuous manufacturing process also provide significant cost savings over traditional composite panel manufacturing techniques.

If you are debating that decision, however, consider the true costs and the potential impact on your operations. Maintaining your production equipment is a full- time job; keeping plastisol mixing equipment up to industry standards can cost tens of thousands of dollars a year. Avient can help by reducing your inventory complexity and driving out cost to manage.

Involving ColorWorks at the earliest stage of product development can simplify the development process, shorten time-to-market, control costs and feasibility, and manage global color consistency. Once the framework is established, the development process kicks into high gear, utilizing a comprehensive toolbox of cutting-edge technologies: • Mood boards for conceptualization • Extensive color libraries, both physical and digital • Rapid prototyping and sampling • Photorealistic 3D rendering • Accurate cost and feasibility assessment tools This iterative process allows for quick turnarounds and efficient approvals, ensuring that the final product meets all expectations. This collaborative design approach has been shown to reduce development times by 50% or more and generate substantial total cost savings.
