GUIDELINES FOR USING CESA CLEAN ADDITIVES • Cesa Clean works best when molded maintaining normal (injection) pressure/shear • For best results, Avient recommends a “Running Color Change” which eliminates breaks in the molding cycle • Since the Cesa Clean concentrate will expand, it is recommended to reduce the shot size by 20% • It is designed for use at a let-down ratio (LDR) of 3.0% or (33:1); however, use rate can vary depending on the severity of the contamination but typically is 2.0–4.0% (a use rate higher than 6.0% may not have any positive affect on the cleaning performance) • Using Cesa Clean as a routine part of your color change rotation will allow faster changes and consume a minimal amount of raw material - Note: If the manifold is not cleaned routinely, this process may be more time consuming and additional material will be required • It is best to process at your normal polymer processing temperatures - For best performance, stock temperature should be at least 400°F - If 400°F is achieved during the purging process, no additional activation will occur during the reprocessing of regrind - All parts produced during the “Running Purge Cycle” should be captured as regrind, resulting in a scrap-free color change - If using sequential gates, open and close all gates at the same time while purging the tool - If contamination appears to be coming from one gate, open and close first, and for an extended period of time, to force more material through this location - When cleaning in this manner, pay close attention to shot size - Parts containing the previous or new color plus any Cesa Clean can be used as regrind INTRODUCING CESA CLEAN TO YOUR PROCESS Hand Blend • Hand weigh enough of the Cesa Clean and natural resin mix to equate to 3–5 times the barrel capacity • Use rate should be 3.0% or 33:1 for routine cleaning • For difficult-to-clean tooling, or tooling which is not routinely cleaned, start at 4.0% or 25:1 • Note: Do not attempt to vacuum load more than 15 feet from source as stratification/separation may occur Volumetric Feeder • Calibrate feeder to dispense 3.0% or 33:1 for routine cleaning • For difficult-to-clean tooling, or tooling which is not routinely cleaned, start at 4.0% or 25:1 • This style of feeder is highly recommended for at-the-throat metering of Cesa Clean Blending Units Most blenders have an extra bin for an additive • Fill the additive bin with Cesa Clean • Set blender to introduce the Cesa Clean at 2.0 to 4.0% • Note: Do not air convey any further than 15 feet as Cesa Clean has a high density and may separate from the mix.

For a director to be considered independent, the Board, with input and a recommendation from the Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee, must affirmatively determine that a given director has no material relationship with the Company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company) and is free from any business, family, or other relationship that would reasonably be expected to interfere with the exercise of independent judgment as a director. Conflicts of Interest Directors are expected to be free of outside interests that conflict with the best interests of the Company.

In the last two years, we achieved a 110% increase in consecutive injury free days, and reported an injury rate of 0.56 for 2019, far better than the industry average. Through Avient Academy, associates can participate in classroom, online, and webinar based training sessions. Various levels of training are provided, depending on prior commercial experience and need, and participants train collaboratively—both online and regionally in-person to maximize collaborative learning.
