Excellence. By creating opportunities to build relationships, we aim to connect associates who share similar experiences and challenges so they can empower one another to thrive, both personally and professionally. To do so, we maintain strict adherence to all applicable laws, as well as areas like policies, audit, governance, and global training for our associates on ethics and our Code of Conduct.

Excellence. Safety is paramount and leads our approach to operational excellence. So last year, we continued to leverage these unique offerings with our customers.

Here’s a case in point: A leading manufacturer of medical devices in North America had established a great brand with excellent quality, but wanted to improve the resistance of its PC/ABS equipment housings to this new disinfection protocol. The manufacturer was struggling to find a replacement material with excellent chemical resistance and a high flame retardant rating.

These high-performing materials deliver high- temperature performance, mechanical integrity, and excellent impact resistance for demanding engine applications. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • High-temperature performance • Excellent impact resistance • Decreased moisture absorption compared to PA66 • Heat stabilized for long-term thermal aging • Enhanced chemical resistance • Customizable formulations in filled and unfilled grades MARKETS & APPLICATIONS The combined performance characteristics make Edgetek Toughened PPA ideal for a range of rigid engine applications.

With excellent temperature ratings and flame performance, these flame retardant polymers are used for insulation in low voltage cable systems, such as building wires, tray cables, and service entrance cables. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • DBDPE-free • Excellent flame performance • Resistance to heat, oil, creep, and abrasion • Temperature rating up to 90°C • High extrusion speeds • UL 44 compliant Copyright © 2023, Avient Corporation.

UV STABILIZER/COLOR COMBINATIONS • Combines color and UV stabilization for use in PP and PA • Ingredients screened with accelerated weather testing* • Excellent weather resistance properties (against chalking, embrittlement) • Long-term colorfastness and light stability UV STABILIZER/FLAME RETARDANT/ COLOR COMBINATIONS • Combines low halogen flame retardants, UV stabilizers and color for use in PP and PA • Ingredients screened with accelerated weather testing* • Excellent weather resistance properties (against chalking, embrittlement) • Compliant with local fire standards (e.g.: AFNOR M 2 in France, DIN 4102 B 2–B 1 in Germany, UNI 8457–9174 C 1 in Italy, BKZ 5.2 in Switzerland, BS 5852.1990 CRIB 3–5 in UK)** • Standard portfolio available for PP injection molded applications APPLICATION BULLETIN * Laboratory weathering testing may not be determinative of all conditions of use; the end user must determine suitability of a product for its intended use ** Contact us for more information on regulatory compliance Copyright © 2022, Avient Corporation.

The masterbatch colorants have excellent dispersion, light and color fastness and highly favorable filtration properties as well as meeting requirements for a variety of nonwoven constructions and weights. The portfolio also benefits from excellent service and regulatory support from experts in fiber coloration and enhancement.

In trials with various washing machines and modes, they show excellent peel strength and resistance to discoloration, fading, or hazing at water temperatures up to 60°C. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • High-wearing comfort and elastic recovery • Strong and seamless adhesion to polyester and nylon fabrics • Passed OEKO-TEX 100-2 testing • Excellent washability at up to 60°C • Non-toxic formulations with low volatile organic compounds (VOC) and without added plasticizers • Attractive alternative to conventional TPU adhesive film and glue MARKETS & APPLICATIONS Versaflex TF Adhesive TPE solutions have been custom engineered for: • Elastic strips in underwear • Seam tapes in sports and fitness apparel PRODUCT BULLETIN 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2024, Avient Corporation.

The customized TPE offered excellent hydrophobic qualities and similar melt strength to PP while still maintaining its key mechanical properties. Ultimately, Avient customized a GLS™ wet grip TPE that outmaneuvered traditional materials—delivering dynamic hydrophobic performance, translucent aesthetics, non-abrasive comfort grip, and excellent UV protection.

Spring deflection limitations: The free movement or deflection of springs must be limited so that it does not overstress the composite.
