THE JOURNEY AWAITS Polymer Solutions for Adventure Sports Gear For outdoor enthusiasts, the lighter the gear, the better. Give them an experience to remember with products built on top-quality materials from Avient. Add resilience and lasting beauty to your products with various polymer additives and color formulations from Avient.

It permits black polymers to be detected by near infrared (NIR) automatic sorting equipment, enabling recycling. Automatic sorting equipment relies on the reflectance of NIR wavelengths to identify polymers and properly sort packaging waste by plastic material. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

It also helps convertors and brand owners by enabling the switch from multi-material to mono-material packaging, and enables convertors and brand owners to switch from difficult-to-recycle multi-material to a mono-material solution.  Enables the transition from complex, multi-material flexible packaging to a recyclable mono-material solution Enhance the visual impact of your parts and packaging with polymer-compatible liquid additive solutions

Enhancing polymer materials with colorants can: • Differentiate products • Reinforce branding • Evoke emotions • Add value to a commodity item • Promote safety Creative and effective use of polymer colorants, which come in liquid and solid forms, can have an impact all along the value chain. COMPLEMENTARY SOLUTIONS SMART COLORANTS: MAKING THE MOST OF COLOR SOLID COLORANTS LIQUID COLORANTS Available based on many different carrier resins Clean, easy handling + feeding Designed + engineered for compatible polymer matrix More effective for low letdown ratios Highly accurate dispensing Can be processed at lower temperatures COLOR STRATEGY BEST PRACTICES EXPANDING COLORANT OPTIONS Avoid limiting yourself to either solid or liquid forms, and focus on the requirements of the end application instead • Widen your materials and applications possibilities • Achieve the desired effect for each part • Optimize productivity and system costs by matching the right colorant type to the project ADDING SPECIAL EFFECTS Further differentiate and add value to your products • Examples include: metallic, pearlescent, chrome look, edge glow, sparkle/glitter, neon/fluorescent look, woodgrain/stone/camouflage SELECTING + SIZING COLORANT EQUIPMENT Both liquid and solid colorants can be used in the same production facility • Use the right colorant to significantly impact production and offer improvements in terms of efficiency and quality $37.5B projected global colorants market size by 2025** 84.7% of consumers cite colors as the primary reason they buy a particular product* U S D © 2020 Avient, All Rights Reserved To learn more about polymer colorants and how you can improve your current color strategy, visit avientdistribution.com or call +1.844.4AVIENT https://www.avientdistribution.com/

WHAT COLORS AND MATERIALS ARE ‘IN’? STAYING AHEAD OF TRENDS2 1 3 4 5 WHAT ARE THE NEWEST POLYMER TECHNOLOGIES? We’ll then create polymer samples or in some cases, 3D printed parts, and make necessary adjustments to ensure your part achieves the results you expected.

ESC is defined as the premature embrittlement and crack propagation of a polymer part. Ideally, all polymer contacting edges should be round or radiused. Aim for 75% of wall thickness for a low-shrink material, and 50% of wall thickness for a high-shrink material, with a draft angle from ¼° to 1°.

Complēt™ long fiber reinforced structural thermoplastics and OnForce™ long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene composites utilize carbon, glass, or specialty fibers in a broad range of thermoplastic polymers to optimize material performance to your application requirements. Pyrolysis removes the matrix polymer of injection-molded specimens to reveal the different internal fiber structure of long glass fiber and short glass fiber parts. With appropriate material selection and part design optimization, long carbon fiber materials can reduce the weight of components up to 50% compared to aluminum.
