This unique automated dispense system ensures that approved, consistent and repeatable colors are available to you, wherever and whenever you need them.

These methods include: PULTRUSION • Fibers are impregnated with liquid thermoset resins, then pulled through a heated die to cure the resin and form the product • This continuous, automated manufacturing process creates constant cross section profiles of any pre-determined length with consistent, uniform quality and exceptional mechanical performance • Applications include rods and profiles of various lengths and complexities, such as utility poles, insulator core rods and structural beams CONTINUOUS FILAMENT WINDING • Combines the principles of filament winding with pultrusion to create constant or tapered cross- sectional tubing in precision sizes • The unique axial and biaxial fiber orientation provides flexural and tensile strength, as well as crush and burst resistance • Applications include lightweight shelter frames and sporting goods components CONTINUOUS RESIN TRANSFER MOLDING (CRTM™) • Engineered core materials are sandwiched between structural composite laminate face sheets • Continuous composite sandwich panels feature high specific strength and stiffness-to-weight ratio • Applications include ballistic resistant panels, truck floors and rail car doors CONTINUOUS FIBER REINFORCED THERMOPLASTICS • Fully recyclable tape, X-Ply™ (0°/90°), and other multi-ply configurations with widths up to 10' wide • Sandwich panels in unlimited lengths, up to 6" thick and 10' wide • High volume production capacity • Applications include structural and aerodynamic components in transportation, and reinforcement of materials such as wood and metal THERMOSET COMPOSITE LAMINATES & BARSTOCK • Unidirectionally reinforced barstock, laminates and hybrid composites engineered to maximize deflection and fatigue resistance • Customizable shapes and sizes • Applications include archery bow limbs, flat springs, prosthetics, sporting equipment THERMOSET FINISHING OPERATIONS • Customized finishing capabilities for barstock and laminates including machining, water-jet cutting, profiling/shaping, sanding, slitting, laminating, molding and coatings TESTING CAPABILITIES • Mechanical – Flexural, tensile, compression, shear, fatigue, impact resistance • Physical – Specific gravity/density, Barcol hardness, water absorption, void content, resin/fiber content, dye penetrant, viscosity • Thermomechanical – Coefficient of linear thermal expansion, glass transition temperature, deflection temperature, degree of cure, curing properties • Electrical – High-voltage, low current dry arc resistance of solid electrical insulation, dielectric strength, water diffusion ABOUT AVIENT ADVANCED COMPOSITES The Avient advanced composites portfolio consists of Glasforms™, Gordon Composites™ and Polystrand™ branded materials.

Avient's chief operating decision maker uses these financial measures to monitor and evaluate the ongoing performance of the Company and each business segment and to allocate resources. They are based on management's expectations that involve a number of business risks and uncertainties, any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. Management excludes intangible asset amortization from adjusted EPS as it believes excluding acquired intangible asset amortization is a useful measure of current period earnings per share.
