You should carefully consider what effect the ambient temperature will have on device usability, particularly in demanding environments such as manufacturing, agriculture, building and construction, and medical/surgical settings. Common regulations • REACH SVHC, RoHS 3 (EU 2015/863), CA Prop 65, Heavy Metals (CONEG, 94/62/EC) and Conflict Minerals • Substances of Concern (could include phthalates, latex, PVC, BPA, halogens, PAH, flame retardants) Other market-specific regulations • Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) - Lead and phthalate limits for products designed for children • Chemicals of High Concern for Children (CHCC) - Several US states (OR, WA, VT, ME, MN) have lists of chemicals of concern for products . designed for children • Global Automotive Declarable Substance List (GADSL) - Specifically for automotive applications • End of Life Vehicles (ELV) Directive, 2000/53/EC - Restrictions on certain heavy metals for .. automotive applications • EC1223/2009 - Covers prohibited, restricted substances in cosmetic products This list is not exhaustive and regulatory requirements change and evolve.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Highly flame retardant: Flame retardancy helps prevent fire and to limit damage if one starts • Non-halogenated: During a fire, there are no ingredients to cause acidic gas emissions from the polymer, which can damage equipment and buildings • Low smoke: In the event of fire, people are more able to find the escape exit and fire fighters can quickly find the source of the fire • Low toxicity: People are not likely to be overcome by toxic fumes • Low dripping: No flaming droplets are likely to propagate a fire or injure evacuees • Manufacturing efficiency: Easy processing with a smooth surface finish MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS The ECCOH range of specialty polymers help manufacturers meet CPR requirements for power, control and communication cables (including optical fiber cables) used in buildings.

FIBER COLORANTS & ADDITIVES TYPICAL APPLICATIONS • Clothing: apparel, hosiery, sportswear, shoes • Home: upholstery, carpets, furniture, curtains • Outdoor: awnings, umbrellas, automobile/boat covers • Automotive: seat covers, floor systems, headliners, side panels, tyrecords • Technical: ropes, belts, luggage, monofilament fishing yarn, artificial grass • Healthcare & Sanitary: diapers, hygiene products, face masks, surgery gowns, wound dressing • Building & Construction: filtration systems, flooring, padding, geotextiles From the clothes we wear to the upholstery in the cars we drive, color plays a major role in driving consumer appeal. Product range • Flame retardants to reduce flammability of fibers and fabrics especially in building and construction applications • Light stabilizers to protect fibers used outdoors or exposed to sunlight against UV light • Antimicrobials to protect hygienic fiber products from bacteria proliferation • Antistatics to reduce electrostatic charges • Antioxidants to reduce polymer oxidation during spinning and protect fabrics during service life • Optical brighteners to provide a brilliant white effect and blueish hue • Electrets to retain electrostatic charge on the polymer surface for a longer period of time in filtration applications • Hydrophobics to impart durable water repellency • Chain extenders for recycled polyester fibers • Others on request Product characteristics • Good spinnability • Fiber-specific QC and protocols • Lot-to-lot consistency • Carriers: PET, PBT, PA 6, PP, and others • Possibility to combine colors and additives into a combination concentrate for convenience • Product guidance from our fiber expert team • Focus on safe and sustainable formulations Applications • Continuous filaments (POY, FDY, HOY, BCF) • Long and short spinning staple fiber • Nonwoven processes (spunbond and meltblown) Cesa™ Fiber Additives MagIQ™ Liquid Fiber Colorants & Additives Multiple color production • Depending on the manufacturing set-up, several injection points can be added to enable multiple color production at the same time on a single extruder Batch size flexibility • Fiber producers can manufacture anything from a few kilograms to hundreds of tons using the same simple process Rapid color changes • No extruder contamination and easy color-on, color-off operation increases color change speed Waste reduction • Rapid color changes, precise metering and the ability to adjust color in-line reduces waste during color changeovers Continuous metering & long spin pack life • High pigment and dye concentrations mean fewer pack changes are required • Where color is running low for larger volume runs, low level metering sensors alert operators and packs can be changed without disrupting production In-line IV adjustment • Specialist additives are available to adjust Intrinsic Viscosity (IV) in-line for rPET applications • These additives are available as single products, or can be combined with color to create a multi- functional formulation Color design service • Avient offers a dedicated color design service to help shorten product development cycles and enhance market agility Liquid color processing • Formulations are stable at temperatures up to 60°C and retain good flow properties at temperatures as low as 10°C • These formulations can help lower yarn friction and abrasion, and there is no fuming or evaporation during production Avient’s liquid fiber colorant technology combines advanced liquid color formulations with state-of-the-art, high-pressure metering equipment to enable late-stage injection of liquid color for spun-dyed polymer melt.

Q & A Q: Someone just asked me to hold the door open for them to help them enter one of our buildings. At Avient, we wish to build such relationships because they are in the long-term interest of Avient and the customers and vendors with whom we do business. You should make certain that alcohol is consumed only in moderation and that nobody in an intoxicated state operates a motor vehicle.
