These translucent stains
react with the surface to create a natural
look, with patterns and colors that accent
the dark and light mottling or marbling
of the concrete.

Examples include:
• Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™, enables unmatched levels of performance and
protection for end-use applications, including ballistic personal protection, marine and
sustainable infrastructure and outdoor sports
• Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content
to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy
• Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and
wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon
footprint
• Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy,
natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility
Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic
Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.
Senior management believes these measures 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.

Shrinkage
Due to their anisotropic nature, GLS TPEs shrink more in the flow direction than in
the cross-flow direction.
For maximum flexibility, the design
should be naturally or geometrically balanced.
Natural, light-colored or clear formulations will more easily
show contamination or discoloration.

By varying texture, a material without a natural matte finish can be made to look dull, light refraction can be adjusted, and grip of the application can be enhanced.
If a matte finish is required, a rougher mold texture should be used (or a GLS product such as GLS Versalloy™ TPV Alloys, which naturally produce a matte surface).

Liquid colorants are helping
to minimize the environmental impact of coloring in a
number of ways:
• Liquid carrier systems are typically made largely from
natural oil-based renewable sources
• Liquid systems can be dosed with the highest degree
of accuracy and control, minimizing wastage through
overdosing
• ColorMatrix’s latest PLANETPAK™ delivery packs have a
fully recyclable outer and are engineered to enable 99%
product recovery allowing further efficiencies
to be made
• The concentrated nature of liquid colorant systems
mean that inventory requirements are inherently very
low.
