The team then turned to PolyOne in Dongguan, China to see if we could offer a solution. Based on the requirements provided, we recommended Geon™ M5705, a high flow vinyl molding material for outdoor use.

We recognize our responsibility extends beyond our operational and process boundaries to our supplier partners. Implementing these standards into Supplier performance are important to us and we expect our Suppliers and business partners to communicate these expectations throughout their supply chain by adopting efficient management systems, policies, procedures, and training to uphold the standards and expectations set forth in this Supplier Code of Conduct within their own business operations. In furtherance of the foregoing, we expect our Suppliers to: • Supply only conflict free 3TG metals to Avient; https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?

The products we produce can be no better than the raw materials we purchase from our suppliers. Therefore, we expect our suppliers to have the same level of commitment to quality and the customer-first mindset we place as one of our top priorities at Avient. 1.2 Scope Avient requires all suppliers to adopt this SQM and maintain a QMS which meets the minimum requirements defined in this manual.

From the clothes we wear to the upholstery in the cars we drive, color plays a major role in driving consumer appeal. However, the way we add color to our products can have a big impact on our business success, and the textile industry is also under pressure to become more agile and also more sustainable. Carrier: PET, PBT, PA 6 • Continuous filament, including fine deniers (POY, FDY, HOY) • Spunbond SINGLE PIGMENT DISPERSIONS (SPDS) We have extensive experience in using advanced technologies and special raw materials, which make these products suitable for sensitive applications.
