Avient acquired the Clariant Color business on July 1, 2020 (the “Acquisition Date”).
We will deliver for our stakeholders through multiple value creation levers—many of which are unique to Avient: o Demand for sustainable solutions, healthcare, and composites, together with Clariant Color revenue synergies, that will drive long-term revenue growth in excess of GDP o Clariant color cost synergy capture will result in significant near-term benefit In addition, we remain committed to increasing annual dividends in line with earnings growth and opportunistically buying back shares, all while remaining modestly levered.

This application is usually simple and for one color.
The foils should be printed with a good deposit of plastisol type ink, preferably tinted toward the color of the final foil color.
You may choose to pigment the gel to match the foil color.
