ColorMatrix™ Select™ Rapid Color Prototyping Technology Color creation, selection and supply service for greater control, choice and speed in color development for injection molded plastic products WHAT IT IS With the ColorMatrix™ Select™ system, managing your own color creation and supply online couldn’t be easier. Select is a combined hardware and software system for developing and prototyping new custom colors in real-time, at a customer’s site or at a Avient facility. For manufacturers, designers and brand owners, this innovative system redefines the process of color development, elevating it to a new level of DIY efficiency.

Guided by their initiative to develop capabilities that provide additional protection for soldiers while reducing time and logistic requirements,1 the U.S. Army Corps Engineers’ Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) Survivability Engineering Branch enlisted the expertise of Edwards Design and Fabrication, an Alabama-based equipment fabricator for commercial and government research and development organizations. Avient collaborated with Edwards to develop ballistic- resistant panels that were not only compatible with the required hardware but also met color requirements for better visual cover once deployed.

Email: zach.zander@avient.com Abstract The incursion of microbial growth on polymeric products can deteriorate their performance and lead to the development of undesirable staining and odors. All in all, ZPT proved to be a highly effective addi- tive in protecting various TPEs from fungal and bacterial growth, and it is expected that this can extend the useful life of TPE products by preventing microbiological degra- dation and the development of staining, odors, and unsightly growth.[4,5,34] However, it should be noted that leaching of bulk-imbedded biocides from the polymer substrate is required to exert antimicrobial action, and the long-term effectiveness and release of ZPT from these compounds are currently unknown.[16,31,35-37] Future studies are required in order to determine the true dura- bility of the compounds when exposed to the specific envi- ronmental conditions of the end-use target applications (e.g., surfactant washes, humidity cycling, fluid contact, weathering).

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: • Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; • The effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; • Changes in laws and regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct business; • Fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply; • Production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs; • Unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; • Our ability to achieve strategic objectives and successfully integrate acquisitions, including Avient Protective Materials (APM); • An inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services; • Our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; • Information systems failures and cyberattacks; • Amounts for cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring plans that may differ from original estimates, including because of timing changes associated with the underlying actions; and • Other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates, changes in the rate of inflation, any recessionary conditions, and terrorism or hostilities Use of Non-GAAP Measures This presentation includes the use of both GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures.

More than 25 years ago, Gordon and Jeff tried to develop a commercially viable, molded composite outer sole for a running shoe using carbon fiber and fiberglass composites. Using the lessons learned from the outer sole development, Gordon and Jeff set out to find a fiberglass-reinforced material for the shoe insole application that embodied the energy-returning effects of carbon fiber while also demonstrating the flexibility needed to preserve and support the body and muscles of the runner. Working with Avient, Gordon and Jeff developed the patent-pending FlexSpring™ insole using a tri-ply unidirectional fiberglass laminate, combined with neoprene foam sheet material, and die-cut to shape.

Enter Humotech, a company focused on accelerating the discovery of innovative real-world solutions to enhance and augment human mobility through research and development of prostheses, exoskeletons, and other wearable machines. THE SOLUTION In the development of the Caplex PRO-002, Humotech sought a material solution that would provide high torque, flexibility, and durability for key components of the foot. Humotech is currently working with the US Department of Defense, US Department of Veterans Affairs, and others to develop, evaluate, and validate this emulator-based test-drive strategy.
