POLYSTRAND™ THERMOPLASTIC TAPES STRONG, IMPACT RESISTANT, LIGHTWEIGHT Formulated with glass fiber reinforcement and engineered thermoplastic resins, these continuous fiber composites offer reduced weight while maintaining exceptional strength and impact resistance. FIBER-LINE™ THERMOPLASTIC TAPES STRONG, CREEP RESISTANT, CHEMICAL RESISTANT Fiber-Line Specialty Engineered Thermoplastic Tapes are formulations composed of a wide range of fibers that are uniquely engineered to enhance fiber performance—such as twisting and coating— and then custom manufactured into a composite tape with a thermoplastic resin. Providing strength and reinforcement, Fiber- Line tapes can be custom formulated to meet mechanical or thermal performance requirements.

Color, Additives and Inks (CAI) Specialty Engineered Materials (SEM) 1. While conventional air emissions are a critical and a highly- influential topic in some industrial sectors, as a specialty formulator of purchased materials, Avient’s conventional air emission levels from legacy operations are de minimis and not material. Avient does not use PFOA or PFOS in its product formulations.

When a product is classified as an "FDA grade" material, it designates that only 21 CFR, parts 170-199 approved materials are used in its formulation. Softening/melt temperatures vary with polymer type and grade. As with other elastomer properties, shrinkage often varies with the direction of polymer flow.
