5G Networks
Enable lower latency, greater
flexibility & efficiency
Installation of these networks are
in the very early stages
Installation will start in urban
hubs and will continue to expand
into suburban and rural areas
By 2025, only 14% of the world
will have 5G connections
Growth is expected over multi-
year period
5G technology will be a leading growth driver in fiber optic cable for several years

Edgetek™ 3D/LDS Solutions are the advanced
technologies to help customers to build 3D circuits
on molded part surfaces with fewer processing
steps, shorter lead times and lower production
costs.
Edgetek 3D/LDS Solutions can be formulated in
PC, LCP, PPS and be customized to meet customers’
specific needs.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-11/Cesa Fiber Tracer Concentrates Product Bulletin.pdf
Cesa™ Fiber
Tracer Concentrates are polymer solutions that
include a taggant, unique to the customer/product
line, which is incorporated into the fibers during the
spin-dyeing process.
A test carried out on the textile
can confirm the presence of the unique taggant and
therefore confirm the customer/product line the
textile originated from.
KEY BENEFITS
• Unique and personalized tracer for customer/
product lines
• Suitable for polyester and polyamide (nylon),
including recycled grades; possibility to develop
solutions for bio-polymers
• No impact on spinnability, color or yarn properties
• Can be combined with color into a single product
for convenience
• Complies with key regulatory requirements by EN,
DIN, UNI and others
• Supplied with a testing service package

In addition, other customer-facing
associates also benefit from CCS
engagement.
This
means making customized decisions on a case-by-case basis.
Our innovation
efforts and collaboration with customers have
increased in lockstep.

OUR STRATEGY
Specialization
Differentiates us through unique value-creating offerings to our customers.
Globalization
Positions us to serve our customers consistently, everywhere in the world.
Even more, our
manufacturing capabilities are
flexible and easily adaptable to
changing customer needs.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/resources/PolyOne%25202012%2520Annual%2520Report.pdf
We offer payment terms to our customers that are competitive.
Our customer returns are immaterial.
Significant Customers
No customer accounted for more than 2% of our consolidated revenues in 2012, and neither we nor
any of our segments would suffer a material adverse effect if we were to lose any single customer.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-07/2023 OHP Off Road Application Bulletin.pdf
IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES
OFF ROAD
Your customers expect performance and durability from your off-road
vehicles.
We understand that exhilarating your customers’ experience is what
sets you apart from the competition.
Gear up
your customer for the ultimate experience
using engineered polymers that perform.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2021-04/versalloy-medical-tubing-case-study.pdf
In addition, the TPV supplier was
not providing sufficient quantities of the material
consistently, threatening the manufacturer’s ability
to meet its own customer’s needs on time.
THE IMPACT
Avient’s expertise in materials for medical device
applications helped this customer make a smooth
transition to the GLS TPV.
Reliable JIT supply chain: The Versalloy material
needed by the customer was reliably supplied by
Avient in just three weeks instead of the six week lead
time offered by the competitive TPV material supplier.
