From engineered, man-made, or natural fiber reinforcements to thermoset or thermoplastic resins, there is a lot to consider when selecting a composite material.

These include energy efficiency, renewable raw materials, light weighting and conserving natural resources. DEFRA factors were used to calculate well to tank (WTT) emissions for natural gas, diesel and electric power. These include energy efficiency, renewable raw materials, light weighting and conserving natural resources.

Follow up by purging machine with general purpose PP • Residence time should not exceed 5 minutes for Maxxam FR products • General ventilation is suggested Shut Down • Purge the equipment with a general purpose PP • All tooling and equipment must be free of any residual Maxxam FR upon shut down • Continue generating parts made from the natural PP until clear • Wipe down tool steel with mold cleaner • When using a hot runner system, care must be taken to remove residual product from the manifold MOLD DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS Cold Slug Wells • Place cold slug wells at the base of the sprue to capture the cold material first emerging from the nozzle • Place cold slug wells at every 90° bend in the runner system • Well depths approximately 2–3 times the diameter of the runner provide best results Draft Angle • Draft angle should be 1/2°–1° per side. Half-round or standard trapezoid runners are not recommended. • Only naturally balanced runner systems (“H” pattern) are recommended • Each 90° bend in the system should step down in size • Vents should be placed at the intersection of each 90° bend off of the cold slug well and vented to atmosphere • Hot runner molds are acceptable and should be sized by the manufacturer.

NYMAX™ BIO BIO-BASED POLYAMIDE SOLUTIONS PROCESSING GUIDE 1 NYMAX BIO Formulated in glass fiber-filled or unfilled materials, Nymax™ BIO formulations utilize between 16 and 47 percent natural filler from renewable plant-based raw materials, reducing the carbon footprint value significantly at the beginning of the product lifecycle. Only naturally balanced runner systems (“H” pattern) are recommended. 3.

silver, copper), natural look (e.g., wood grain, granite, speckles), gloss and brilliance (e.g., pearlescence, iridescence, frost), high-visibility (e.g., fluorescence, sparkles) and color-changing (e.g., photochromic, thermochromic).

Examples include: • Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy • Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint • Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility Avient employs approximately 8,400 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.

These translucent stains react with the surface to create a natural look, with patterns and colors that accent the dark and light mottling or marbling of the concrete.

Mesa Pool Colorants bring nature to life in finishes that withstand harsh water chemistry and beautifully maintain their color stability under normal water conditions.

Examples include: • Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™, enables unmatched levels of performance and protection for end-use applications, including ballistic personal protection, marine and sustainable infrastructure and outdoor sports • Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy • Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint • Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®. Senior management believes these measures are useful to investors because they allow for comparison to Avient's performance in prior periods without the effect of items that, by their nature, tend to obscure Avient's operating results due to the potential variability across periods based on timing, frequency and magnitude.

Liquid colorants are helping to minimize the environmental impact of coloring in a number of ways: • Liquid carrier systems are typically made largely from natural oil-based renewable sources • Liquid systems can be dosed with the highest degree of accuracy and control, minimizing wastage through overdosing • ColorMatrix’s latest PLANETPAK™ delivery packs have a fully recyclable outer and are engineered to enable 99% product recovery allowing further efficiencies to be made • The concentrated nature of liquid colorant systems mean that inventory requirements are inherently very low.
