They are based on management’s expectations that involve a number of business risks and uncertainties, any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. Pro Forma Financial Information The Company acquired Avient Protective Materials (“Dyneema”) on September 1, 2022 (the “Acquisition Date”) and sold the Distribution segment on November 1, 2022. To provide comparable results, the company references “pro forma” financial metrics, which include the business results of Avient Protective Materials for periods prior to the Acquisition Date, as if the transaction occurred on January 1, 2021 and reflect Distribution as a discontinued operation.

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.

Because of the company’s long relationship with Avient, the supplier asked for a material recommendation to replace bent steel plate. The materials also allow designers to integrate features into the part without the need for fasteners or secondary operations. Further, the material costs for Bergamid resin are lower than those of bent steel plate.

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.

MEVOPUR™ LQ Liquid Color & Additive Concentrates for Silicone Elastomers Silicones elastomers are materials of choice in a wide range of medical applications because of the combination of unique physical properties such as strength, durability, and flexibility combined with one of the most tested polymers in terms of biocompatibility and hypo-allergenic properties. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information. 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

A STAND UP PADDLE RISES TO THE TOP WITH NEW MANUFACTURING PROCESS AND MATERIALS Challe nge Accepted. THE IMPACT Finding a material that would add value to the user in the form of a lighter weight, higher performing paddle was critical. Avient was able to help this company evaluate its manufacturing processes and recommend a superior composite material solution.

Because low durometer (softer) material is a requirement for this application, the manufacturer considered a switch to a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). The company tried several TPE grades, hoping to find a material that would eliminate the adhesion problem while providing comparable softness to silicone. With the Avient material, the manufacturer is expected to save $122,000 per year vs. silicone.
