Avient’s composite springs are manufactured using a continuous pultrusion process.
Resin impregnated,
continuous glass fibers are drawn through a curing die of a specific cross section, yielding consistent quality,
dimensions and mechanical properties to provide more consistent spring rates than alternate materials.
Reinforcement fiber configurations are designed to provide high flexural strength and modulus in the axial
direction plus fastener bearing strength in the transverse direction

Pro Forma for Acquisition of Avient Protective Materials business (APM)
On September 1, 2022, the company acquired DSM’s Protective Materials business, the foundation
of which is the renowned technology and globally admired brand of Dyneema®, the World’s
Strongest Fiber™.
Examples include:
• Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™, enables unmatched levels of performance and
protection for end-use applications, including ballistic personal protection, marine and
sustainable infrastructure and outdoor sports
• Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to
be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy
• Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood,
which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint
• Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural
resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility
Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste
and certified Great Place to Work®.
