As a final benefit, the TPE formulations produced a regrind that resulted in new recycling options that were previously unavailable with the use of thermoset silicone rubber.

We aim to limit non-compliance risk and support safety in use by using only raw materials that have been specially tested in accordance with medical standards.

As sustainable and functional products and packaging becomes an increasingly important aspect of the consumer experience, consumer package goods companies who utilize TPEs in their designs are finding value from better performance, differentiation, and end-use recyclability.” Because GLS TPEs can be used and overmolded onto a wide range of substrates without the use of adhesives, they also offer greater design freedom.

A common cause of these life-threatening accidents: using ordinary spoons and cups to dose liquid medicines. During development and prototyping, the engineers used an SBS-type elastomer for this critical component – but they hadn’t settled on materials for mass production. Andwin Scientific’s patented solution improves dosing accuracy, allows the end-user to use every drop of medication and reduces the chance for an accidental spill.

Slide 4 - Adjusted Financial Information Recast for Avient Distribution as a Discontinued Operation Reflects adjusted financial information recast for Avient Distribution as a discontinued operation and includes the use of non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted gross margin, selling and administrative expense, operating income, net income, and earnings per share (“EPS”).

When used herein, “immediate family member” includes a person’s spouse, parent, children, siblings, mothers and fathers-in-law, sons and daughters-in-law, brothers and sisters-in-law, and anyone (other than domestic employees of such person) who shares such person’s home.

The Company uses both GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures. 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 use words such as “will,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial condition, performance and/or sales.
