Our ability to realize anticipated savings and operational benefits from the realignment of assets, including the planned closure of certain manufacturing
facilities;
The timing of closings and shifts of production to new facilities related to asset realignments and any unforeseen loss of customers and/or disruptions of
service or quality caused by such closings and/or production shifts;
Separation and severance amounts that differ from original estimates and amounts for non-cash charges related to asset write-offs and accelerated
depreciation realignments of property, plant and equipment, that differ from original estimates;
Our ability to identify and evaluate acquisition targets and consummate acquisitions;
The ability to successfully integrate acquired companies into our operations, retain the management teams of acquired companies and retain relationships
with customers of acquired companies including, without limitation, Spartech Corporation and Accella Performance Materials;
Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of
credit in the future;
The financial condition of our customers, including the ability of customers (especially those that may be highly leveraged and those with inadequate
liquidity) to maintain their credit availability;
The speed and extent of an economic recovery, including the recovery of the housing market;
Our ability to achieve new business gains; the effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks;
Changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding the disposal of plastic materials in jurisdictions where we conduct
business;
Changes in global industry capacity or in the rate at which anticipated changes in industry capacity come online in the industries in which we participate;
Fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply and in energy prices and supply;
Production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs;
Unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters;
An inability to achieve or delays in achieving or achievement of less than the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to working capital
reductions, cost reductions and employee productivity goals;
An inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services;
An inability to maintain appropriate relations with unions and employees;

Figure 2: Digimat material model workflow when coupled with an FEA solver

Solution
Avient leveraged Digimat to reverse-engineer material
data based on the microstructure, tensile test data,
and micro-mechanical modelling.
Figure 1: Tensile test data as a function of the fibre orientation 0°
(orange), 45° (green), 90° (blue)

Figure 4: Failure location in the flexural test for the isotropic modelling
Figure 6: Failure location in the tensile test for the isotropic modelling
approach (left), Digimat anisotropic modelling approach (middle) and
reality (right)
Figure 3: Flexural test results with the isotropic modelling approach
(orange) and Digimat anisotropic modelling approach (green)
Figure 5: Tensile test results with the isotropic modelling approach
(orange) and Digimat anisotropic modelling approach (green)
Figure 5 shows the tensile test results with, again,
a convincing advantage for the Digimat anisotropic
modelling approach against the isotropic modelling
approach.
