Is there a service temperature for TPEs?
USP tests are designed to provide information on biological effects of polymer materials used in containers.
The capability to repeatedly process thermoplastic elastomers provides the major benefit of TPEs over thermoset rubbers.

TOUGH ENOUGH TO PROTECT
THE POWER GRID
MODULAR BALLISTIC PROTECTION MADE POSSIBLE
WITH COMPOSITES
THE CHALLENGE
Recent attacks on U.S. electrical substations across the
country provide stark reminders that our nation’s power
supply remains a primary target for criminals focused
on harming our country and security.1
The call to action is evident: we must continually
improve the physical and technological infrastructure
protection of our nation’s energy supply.
They can be constructed in a modular configuration
to provide the required threat-level protection and
simplified replacement in the event of an attack.
Avient enabled us to quickly meet our utility
customers’ growing demand for improved, customized
physical asset protection,” said Dave Lombardo, vice
president and general manager, Service Division,
Southern States LLC.

They also provided mold
fill evaluations to evaluate the best injection parameter
set up to process Therma-Tech in the respective mold.
Next to lower density, design optimization for
the use of thermally conductive materials is key for the
weight and cost saving that our Avient Design specialists
provide as an additional service to our customers.

They also provided local
support during the sampling process, which helped
speed testing and development time for Victorinox.
Avient
provided product development assistance and testing,
and ultimately delivered customized materials that met
strict requirements for durability.
Beyond finding the
best material combination—Bergamid™ nylon copolymer
and GLS™ TPEs—our global presence and expertise
across an array of specialty polymers and colorants,
combined with local service and support, helped
Victorinox to accelerate development work, streamline
production and reach their design goals.

Avient does not provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, such as outlook for Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings Per Share and Adjusted Tax Rate, to the most comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-
looking basis because Avient is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort.
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.
Management believes this
provides comparability of the performance of the combined businesses.
