Avient and its global direct and indirect subsidiaries and affiliates, including ColorMatrix (“Avient”), are intermediate suppliers of specialty polymers and related raw materials designed to meet the specifications of its manufacturing customers. In sourcing its own raw materials and in distributing products manufactured by others, Avient is required to meet the specifications prescribed by its customers. Our total raw material and packaging spend for 2023 was ~$21 Million.

GUIDELINES FOR USING CESA CLEAN ADDITIVES • Cesa Clean works best when molded maintaining normal (injection) pressure/shear • For best results, Avient recommends a “Running Color Change” which eliminates breaks in the molding cycle • Since the Cesa Clean concentrate will expand, it is recommended to reduce the shot size by 20% • It is designed for use at a let-down ratio (LDR) of 3.0% or (33:1); however, use rate can vary depending on the severity of the contamination but typically is 2.0–4.0% (a use rate higher than 6.0% may not have any positive affect on the cleaning performance) • Using Cesa Clean as a routine part of your color change rotation will allow faster changes and consume a minimal amount of raw material - Note: If the manifold is not cleaned routinely, this process may be more time consuming and additional material will be required • It is best to process at your normal polymer processing temperatures - For best performance, stock temperature should be at least 400°F - If 400°F is achieved during the purging process, no additional activation will occur during the reprocessing of regrind - All parts produced during the “Running Purge Cycle” should be captured as regrind, resulting in a scrap-free color change - If using sequential gates, open and close all gates at the same time while purging the tool - If contamination appears to be coming from one gate, open and close first, and for an extended period of time, to force more material through this location - When cleaning in this manner, pay close attention to shot size - Parts containing the previous or new color plus any Cesa Clean can be used as regrind INTRODUCING CESA CLEAN TO YOUR PROCESS Hand Blend • Hand weigh enough of the Cesa Clean and natural resin mix to equate to 3–5 times the barrel capacity • Use rate should be 3.0% or 33:1 for routine cleaning • For difficult-to-clean tooling, or tooling which is not routinely cleaned, start at 4.0% or 25:1 • Note: Do not attempt to vacuum load more than 15 feet from source as stratification/separation may occur Volumetric Feeder • Calibrate feeder to dispense 3.0% or 33:1 for routine cleaning • For difficult-to-clean tooling, or tooling which is not routinely cleaned, start at 4.0% or 25:1 • This style of feeder is highly recommended for at-the-throat metering of Cesa Clean Blending Units Most blenders have an extra bin for an additive • Fill the additive bin with Cesa Clean • Set blender to introduce the Cesa Clean at 2.0 to 4.0% • Note: Do not air convey any further than 15 feet as Cesa Clean has a high density and may separate from the mix.

Through our design expertise and material science, we help our customers reduce material usage, enable recycle solutions, improve physical performance and reuse potential of recycled materials. As regulations around vehicle air quality have been accelerating, we have designed a suite of materials that reduce VOC emissions. From the headlight to the taillight, sustainable automotive designs and manufacturing ideas come zooming to life with the right materials.

As a member of the American Chemistry Council, we have adopted Responsible Care® Guiding Principles and the Product Safety Code of Management Practices to guide our efforts in material sourcing, development and management of our product portfolio throughout the value chain and life cycle.  Consider environmental, health and safety impacts into product design, manufacture, use, reuse, recycling and disposal Sustainable and ethical management of our products protects our employees, customers and communities in which we operate, while maintaining customer confidence in Avient’s materials.

Eco-conscious packaging compositions are preferred by customers, pushing convertors and brand owners to use sustainable materials—perhaps partially based on renewable or bio-derived sources—that also ensure food contact compliance. Avient’s anti-blocking additives were designed in order to have a very limited effect on the optical properties of the film while providing very efficient anti-blocking even at low dosing levels.
