Plastic Waste
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: 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, including recessionary conditions; 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; our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; information systems failures and cyberattacks; amounts for cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring plans that may differ from original estimates, including because of timing changes associated with the underlying actions; the ability to obtain required regulatory approvals and otherwise consummate the proposed sale of the Distribution business; and other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates, changes in the rate of inflation and any recessionary conditions.

Accounting for 25% or more of observed failures in
the field, it is believed that ESC is the leading cause
of plastic component failure.3 To better understand
the environmental contribution of stress cracking,
it is helpful to examine stress cracking in air (creep).
The materials
were evaluated for environmental stress cracking
resistance (ESCR) using an adaptation to ASTM D543
“Standard Practices for Evaluating the Resistance
of Plastics to Chemical Reagents.”
Plastics Engineering 2015, 71 (10), 30–36.

Storage and Handling of Vinyl Plastisols
A vinyl plastisol is a liquid dispersion of
polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resins, plasticizers, and
miscellaneous additives.
When baked, this liquid
plastic becomes a fused solid plastic.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-02/Sustainability ESG Disclosures_Carbon Black.pdf
In plastics, paints, and inks carbon black is used as a color pigment.
USES AND APPLICATIONS
Colored printing inks, non-impact printing, coatings, paints and lacquers, plastics, spinning fibers, specials
applications; pigment, conductivity, reaction media, UV-filters.
Carbon Black is by far the most important
black pigment, and is the second most used in terms of volume of all pigments employed by the plastic
industry, ranking behind only TiO2.

GLS™ TPEs with Antimicrobial Technologies
This specialty line of GLS™ thermoplastic elastomers
has imbedded antimicrobial additives that inhibit
bacterial growth by 99.9% or more (log 3) and resist
fungal growth to protect molded plastic parts.
Developed for the preservation of high-touch
surfaces and applications, these formulations
contain antimicrobial additives that continuously
inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungus, and molds
that cause odor and detrimental aesthetic and
mechanical property changes to the finished plastic
part.

Antistatic Additive
APPLICATION BULLETIN
Plastics often undergo charge build-up, which can
lead to handling problems and electrical discharges.
Please be aware that there are certain applications Avient’s Mevopur products have not been designed for, nor are they promoted or intended for use in: including, but not limited to long-term or permanent
implants, birth control devices, or plastic surgery.
