Long Fiber Thermoplastics (LFT) for Brackets and Latches Unlock opportunities for cost savings, lightweighting, & production efficiencies Brackets and latches are traditionally made of cast aluminum or stamped steel. Long fiber thermoplastics (LFT) combine the structural integrity of metals with the lighter weight and cost-effectiveness of thermoplastic composites. Weight Reduction • LFT has lower density vs. metal, but still meets structural performance requirements • Lightweighting helps meet sustainability goals related to lower fuel consumption and extended vehicle range Design Flexibility • Injection molding allows for complex geometries and part consolidation • Advanced modeling and computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools for long fiber composites help validate and optimize part design APPLICATION BULLETIN COMPARING PRODUCTION COST DRIVERS Cast Metal Stamped Metal Long Fiber Composite Material typically used Aluminum Steel Various base resins based on environmental conditions Casting X Stamping X Injection Molding X Machining X Not typically needed as LFT is a one-step process Drilling X Welding X Surface Treatments X X po st -p ro ce ss pr oc es s MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS Characteristic Long Fiber Composite Aluminum Steel Specific Gravity (g/cc) 1.03–1.71 2.76 7.8–7.9 Specific Strength (Strength-to-Weight ratio) Excellent Good Poor Stiffness Fair Good Excellent Toughness/Fatigue Excellent Fair Fair Creep Good Excellent Excellent Corrosion Resistance Excellent Good Poor Temperature Range Performance Good Excellent Excellent Cycle Time Excellent Good Poor Design Freedom (i.e., complex geometry, part consolidation) Excellent Fair Fair Raw Material Cost Poor Good Fair Total Production Cost Good Fair Fair pr od uc ti on pe rf or m an ce Avient offers a range of customizable long fiber reinforced structural material solutions and design support for your metal-to-plastic conversion projects. • Complēt™ long glass, long carbon, and hybrid fiber solutions available in a wide array of engineering polymer matrices, including PA66, PA6, ETPU, PPA, PPS, PES, PEI, PK, and PEEK • OnForce™ long glass fiber reinforced polypropylenes • Full suite of design and engineering services that include structural design and fiber orientation consultations and modeling, CAE analysis, prototyping, and more STRENGTH-TO-WEIGHT RATIO OF LFT VS METALS m eg ap as ca l gram /cubic centim eter 250 200 150 100 50 0 9.00 8.00 7.00 6.00 5.00 4.00 3.00 2.00 1.00 0.00 Zam ak 3 Stainless Steel 304 Titanium #2 Com plēt LCF40-PP Com plēt LGF60-TPU OnForce LGF50-PP Alum inum A380 M agnesium AZ91D Com plēt LCF50-PA66 Com plēt LGF60-PA66 Com plēt LCF50-TPU Specific Strength Density Metal Long Glass Fiber Long Carbon Fiber 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2025, Avient Corporation.

The PPA-based formulations offer decreased moisture absorption compared to nylon 66 (PA66), helping to improve durability and long- term performance. These robust materials also incorporate heat stabilization to maintain tensile strength and tensile elongation properties for long- term thermal aging up to 120°C. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • High-temperature performance • Excellent impact resistance • Decreased moisture absorption compared to PA66 • Heat stabilized for long-term thermal aging • Enhanced chemical resistance • Customizable formulations in filled and unfilled grades MARKETS & APPLICATIONS The combined performance characteristics make Edgetek Toughened PPA ideal for a range of rigid engine applications.

After long-term range testing*, the recoil pad continued to reduce recoil and extend durability. To retain integrity and high-end feel, the HIVIZ recoil pad performs under long-term range testing. • Superior durability = a long-lasting product that withstands both the elements and rigorous use.

Its portfolio of OnColor™ polymer colorants was developed to improve the heat and long-term color stability of cautionary orange polymers for high-voltage EV connectors, offering the following benefits: • Long-term fading resistance in thermal aging tests at up to 130°C for 1,000 hours, • No migration, excellent processing stability • Lower corrosion risk vs. typical comparable colorants • No impact on flame retardancy and limited adverse effects on essential mechanical characteristics, including flexural and impact strength Avient’s orange nylon colorants are available in several validated RAL, Pantone, and JPMA orange shades for compounding, injection molding, and extrusion.

METAL REPLACEMENT COMBINES METAL’S STRENGTH WITH PLASTIC’S LIGHT WEIGHT CASE STUDY: COMPLĒT™ LONG GLASS FIBER REINFORCED COMPOSITE Challe nge Accepted. Spurred by the need for high strength and low weight, Avient quickly identified a Complēt™ long glass fiber nylon composite as a best-fit solution. Using the new Complēt long glass fiber nylon formulation, the redesigned yoke underwent testing at Bettcher to simulate 500,000 run cycles.
