Explore the use of sustainable materials, such as coconut fibers or recycled plastics, to reduce your brand’s environmental footprint. Think about choosing materials that are either bio-derived or recyclable, or incorporate post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials. AVIENT SOLUTIONS: • Playful scents • Marble effect • Soft touch materials • Glow-in-the-dark colorants HOW WE CAN HELP STAYING AHEAD OF TRENDS AND TECHNOLOGIES New materials, colors, textures and visual effects are always evolving.

Unlike PVC, these materials are made without phthalate plasticizers, offer high clarity in some cases, bond to a variety of substrates, and can be customized for color and hardness. Materials Matter in Healthcare Specialty TPEs formulated for high clarity, without plasticizers, to improve high service temperature performance, and to meet biopharmaceutical needs for weldability and low extractables

Finely dispersed TiO2, and color distribution with precision dosing, drive consistency, material efficiency, and sustainable consumption. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information. Avient is a premier provider of specialized and sustainable material solutions and services that transform customer challenges into opportunities.

With appropriate material selection and part design optimization, long carbon fiber materials can reduce the weight of components up to 50% compared to aluminum. DESIGN & DEPLOY WITH CONFIDENCE Transitioning from traditional materials to long fiber composites requires an integrated approach that includes material formulation, component design, and forming process. OVERCOME MATERIAL CHALLENGES Deploy long fiber reinforced composites to meet these needs: • Metal replacement for weight reduction • Failure of lower performing plastics • Structural load carrying requirements • Increased impact or fatigue durability • Wide temperature range performance • Thermoplastic design freedom • Manufacturing process cost savings 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2024, Avient Corporation.

Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information. Without limiting the generality of this statement, Avient products shall not be used in any medical device application intended for: (1) exposure to human tissue or body fluids for 30 days or greater; (2) “plastic” (cosmetic or reconstructive) surgery use; (3) reproductive implants or any birth control device; or (4) any critical component in a permanently (greater than 30 days) implanted medical device that supports or sustains human life. It is the responsibility of the medical device manufacturer and the person placing the medical device on the market to ensure compliance of the medical device, including the suitability of all raw materials and components used for its manufacture, and with all applicable laws and regulations. 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com

Brand owners and manufacturers are responding by seeking to incorporate materials including post-consumer recycled plastics into their products and processes. Composites are inherently lightweight alternatives to metal and other materials, enabling sustainability initiatives such as material reduction and fuel economy improvements in many end products. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Using our formulation expertise and operational capabilities, we create an essential link between large chemical producers (our raw material suppliers) and designers, assemblers and processors of plastics (our customers). Plastics are renowned for their durability, aesthetics, ease of handling and recyclability. In addition, we continue to engage and invest in the Alliance to End Plastic Waste (AEPW).

Competition The production of plastics and the manufacturing of custom and proprietary formulated color and additives systems for the plastics industry are highly competitive. Raw Materials The primary raw materials used by our manufacturing operations are polyolefin and other thermoplastic resins, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin, plasticizers, inorganic and organic pigments, all of which we believe are in adequate supply. One of Spartech's subsidiaries, Franklin-Burlington Plastics, Inc.

Materials can also be enhanced with functional additives to meet stringent product performance requirements. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information. Please be aware that there are certain applications Avient’s Mevopur products have not been designed for, nor are they promoted or intended for use in: including, but not limited to long-term or permanent implants, birth control devices, or plastic surgery.
