Avient’s chief operating decision maker uses these financial measures to monitor and evaluate the ongoing performance of Avient and each business segment and to allocate resources. Avient acquired the Clariant Color business on July 1, 2020 (the “Acquisition Date”). Management believes this provides comparability of the performance of the combined businesses.

THE CLAMPING UNIT The clamping unit of a machine has three main functions: move the mold, hold the mold closed during injection, and provide a means of ejecting the part . This is why a mechanical unit should never be left clamped together; as it results in more wear on the machine and reduced stiffness in the clamping unit . In the diagram, it can be seen that is the platen closest to the injection unit, and it provides a mean of contact between the injection unit and the mold .

We bolstered our composites business with the acquisition of APM and divested our Distribution segment. This business is referred to as Avient Protective Materials “APM”. Management believes this provides better comparability of the performance of the combined businesses.

The physical blowing agent system requires engineering modifications, such as a high-pressure injection unit, extended screws and barrels, and gas storage or compression units. Endothermic versus exothermic PROCESSING GUIDE In principle, CFAs can be processed on almost any commercially available injection molding unit. The mixing is done either batch by batch in separate blenders or in an automatic metering unit directly on top of the press.
