PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
Thermoset composite springs from Avient are
engineered with proprietary vinyl ester or epoxy
resins and unidirectional fiber reinforcement
technologies.
The endurance limit was defined when the springs reached
1.5+ million cycles with no loss of spring rate
Spring rate adjustments: The spring rate or stiffness for
each cross section (thickness x width) is adjustable via the
free length of the spring (see illustration).
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-11/Cesa Clean Processing Usage Guide.pdf
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.
GETTING STARTED
TIMING IS THE KEY TO A RUNNING
COLOR CHANGE
Hand Blend
• Have the purge blend ready to load
• If hopper contains a mixture of resin, color and/
or regrind, it should be run dry or drained before
beginning the color change, keeping the screw
full so press cycle continues
• Run the main resin hopper dry or shut off hopper
to hand feed at the throat
• Once press is clean, slide hopper in place
and proceed with next color-resin blend
• The next color can be added while Cesa Clean is
still in the barrel
• When splay is no longer visible in parts, reset shot
size, parts should be ready to pack
(Single) Volumetric/Gravimetric Metering Unit
at the Throat
• Empty and clean feeder while press continues
to run
• Add Cesa Clean to the feeder color hopper and
calibrate to a 3.0% use rate
• When press is clean, start next color
• When splay is no longer visible in parts, reset shot
• Note: If an open/unused secondary feeder is
installed, use it for the Cesa Clean concentrate
Central Blending Unit
• Thoroughly clean unit while continuing to mold
parts, keeping a resin feed to the press
• Using a clean open hopper or regrind hopper, add
the Cesa Clean concentrate
• Set blender for additive/color to 3.0%
• Once press is clean, drain hopper and/or central
blending unit while continuing to mold parts
• Begin new color and continue to mold parts
• When splay is no longer visible in parts, reset shot
Process Adjustments That Can Help
• Increase back pressure
• Increase screw speed
• Increase injection speed (in some tools maximum
injection speed can facilitate cleaning)
• Reduce mold close time (faster cycle)
• Always remember a stock temperature of 400°F
is essential
When press and tool are clean, return all settings to
standard production process profile.

Although we are being impacted by weaker foreign exchange rates, Covid-related lockdowns in
China, and the war in Ukraine, we are maintaining our full year adjusted EPS guidance of $3.50
on stronger growth projections in the Americas.
Factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include,
but are not limited to: the ability and time required to consummate the acquisition of Dyneema;
our ability to achieve the strategic and other objectives relating to the proposed acquisition of
Dyneema; disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact
the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; the
effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and
regulatory risks; the current and potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our
business, results of operations, financial position or cash flows; changes in polymer consumption
growth rates and laws and regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct
business; fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply;
production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance
programs; unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as
litigation and environmental matters; an inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services;
information systems failures and cyberattacks; and other factors affecting our business beyond
our control, including without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest
rates and changes in the rate of inflation.

When showing constant dollar figures on GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, the foreign exchange impact is calculated by using current foreign exchange rates and applying them to the prior period results.
Avient does not provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, such as outlook for Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings Per Share and Adjusted Tax Rate, to the most comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-
looking basis because Avient is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort.
