Occasionally, technicians from the
equipment manufacturers are used to establish the
‘entitlement’ performance of a particular machine
and most major manufacturers have technical
service teams to help with this activity.
Maximum speed output should be attainable
prior to any ‘recipe’ setting trials
TECHNICAL BULLETIN
The diagram below shows many of the variables that are typically present during stretch blow molding
and this illustrates the complexity of the whole process.
It should be recognized that due to this
complexity, achieving consistent blowing performance could be regarded more of an art than a science
and a high degree of technical competence, rigorous maintenance, thorough operative training and
constant vigilance during operation should always be exercised.

https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2024-03/2024 Proxy Statement %28Filed%29.pdf
In preparing competitive market data for 2023, we drew from two independent sources.
The second independent source of data that we used to augment the peer proxy analysis was the
Consultant’s analysis of competitive market data relating to other applicable general industries.
However, because the vote to approve Named
Executive Officer compensation is advisory, there are technically no minimum vote requirements for this
proposal.
