These include ISO pre-certified colorants; FDA-compliant materials from engineering thermoplastics and elastomers to vinyl, styrenics and olefins; RoHS and REACH compliant materials; and much more.

Avient acquired the Clariant Color business on July 1, 2020 (the “Acquisition Date”). Design times can be less than three days for colorants. It’s in this spirit that we joined legacy PolyOne and the Clariant Color business, two complementary businesses, and formed a new one that we’ve named Avient.

Examples include: • Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high- performance materials that require less plastic • Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation • Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater, improve the recyclability of materials and advance a circular economy • Composite solutions to support accelerated growth of 5G / fiber-optic infrastructure investment as the world demands greater and faster connectivity Avient employs approximately 9,100 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care® and a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste. Design times can be less than three days for colorants. There are significant revenue opportunities generated from the combined color and additive technology strengths of the two legacy companies.

Our high fiber volume, glass-reinforced thermoplastic panels and continuous resin transfer molding (CRTM) thermoset sandwich panels can streamline production and reduce system costs by eliminating assembly steps such as welding, drilling, bolting and riveting. Our composite panels are custom engineered by varying core thicknesses to increase or decrease stiffness; by varying core materials (including end-grain balsa, foam or engineered woods) to increase or decrease weight; by varying fiber to modify the stiffness-to-weight ratio; and by varying the base polymer to increase or decrease strength. * 4 point flex., 44 in. span, ASTM 7249 Note: Additional core materials available.

Traditionally, many connectors of this type are produced using liquid crystal polymers (LCPs) formulated with carbon fiber. It must also have the required heat resistance, be strong enough to maintain a tight electrical connection and be flexible enough to allow a snap fit. • Avoid over-engineering – The new connector must be designed to meet the targeted requirements accurately, without over engineering, thus avoiding the costs of higher-than-needed performance levels. • Meet targeted cost-performance requirements – The selected resin must offer significant savings over the current LCP/carbon fiber formulation through material and/or manufacturing savings, thus enabling penetration of the low-cost computer market with a competitive connector.

It has been over a year since we completed the acquisition of Clariant’s color business and became Avient – bold moves to help us become the specialty formulator we are today,” said Robert M. Add on nearly $50 million in synergies from the Clariant color business integration, and we are having a record year.” To access, dial 1-855-859-2056 (domestic) or 1-404-537-3406 (international) and provide conference ID number 7899765. http://www.avient.com/investors https://edge.media-server.com/mmc/p/yrq7mgm9 https://edge.media-server.com/mmc/p/yrq7mgm9 http://www.avient.com/investors 3 Full Year Comparisons Pro Forma for Acquisition of Clariant’s Color Business The company acquired Clariant’s color (“Clariant Color”) business on July 1, 2020 (the “Acquisition Date”).
