Senior management believes the measures described above 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.

PROCESSING GUIDE

GRAVI-TECH™
Density Modified Formulations
Gravi-Tech™ polymer-metal composites are high-density materials developed as thermoplastic-based
alternatives to lead and other traditional metals.
Gate type should be selected based on location
and part geometry.
2.
Place these wells at the base of the sprue to capture the cold material first
emerging from the nozzle.
2.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-06/Maxxam FR Injection Molding Processing Guide.pdf
Gate type should be selected based on location and part geometry
Gate diameters should be equivalent to 50–80% of the average wall thickness
• A land length of 0.040" (1.0 mm) is recommended
• Valve gates can be a source of extreme shear for halogen-based systems.
Tool Steel
• P20 tool steel is acceptable when proper processing and shut down procedures
are followed
• Chrome plating or PH stainless steel is preferred for all halogen-based systems
• The use of stainless steel in hot runner systems is highly suggested
• Avoid the use of aluminum when designing production tools
Vents
• Place vents at the end of fill and anywhere potential knit/weld lines will occur
• All vents need to be vented to atmosphere
• Cut vent depths to 0.0010"–0.0015" with a minimum 0.040" land length.
