Q3 2024 HIGHLIGHTS
• 8.5% organic sales growth driven by broad-based
growth across all regions and most end markets in both
CAI and SEM segments
• Growth stemmed from gaining share, winning new
product specifications and restocking in certain end
markets
• Both segments expanded YoY EBITDA margins by 40
bps each
• Adjusted EPS of $0.65, an increase of 14% vs the
prior year
• Successfully refinanced $650M outstanding senior
notes due 2025; extending maturity to 2031
• Increased dividend 5% to $1.08 on an annualized
basis; 14th consecutive increase

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.

Based on expertise in reducing weight and improving
portability of mast structures and antennas for the
military, Rolatube engineers realized the legs of the
tripod could be designed to roll into a compact and
portable coil, eliminating the complexity and added
weight of telescopic hardware.
The thermoplastic
polymer base resin used also enables recyclability
to support the company’s sustainability goals.

They wanted to transition from
metal to a polymer-based, two-component handle that
would deliver:
• scratch and chemical resistance
• excellent mechanical properties
• a grippy, soft-touch feel
To support the transition, Victorinox sought our
help based on its expertise in polymer science and
ability to support product development and efficient
manufacturing of the new two-component handles.

These materials also offer a sustainability benefit
through a reduced carbon footprint because PK
base resin production emits up to 61 percent less
carbon dioxide (CO2) than nylon, helping to improve
sustainability over the end-product lifecycle.

Convertors and brand owners need to make
educated choices for their recycled materials based
on formulation expertise and data science to help
achieve a consistent packaging product.
Based on color science, the tool helps optimize
the ratio of virgin resin to PCR in order to achieve
the best acceptable rendering, proven by scientific
data.

Compared to current solvent-
based coating technology, co-extrusion film using
Versaflex CF has significantly reduced volatile
organic compound (VOC) emissions and helps
reduce energy consumption by eliminating
secondary coating and drying operations.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• High initial adhesion on steel, PMMA, and various
other substrates
• Stable and low adhesion build-up over time to
prevent residue
• Low unwinding force for improved efficiency
when pasting film
• Good gel control
• One-step extrusion processing to improve
manufacturing efficiency
• Reduced VOC emissions compared to current
solvent-based coating technology
• Can be recycled as a thermoplastic material
APPLICATIONS
The low adhesion build-up performance of Versaflex
CF 6668 TPE makes it ideal for use in protective films
for high-end applications including:
• Appliance
• Household furniture
• Building & construction
• Automotive
