Homepage // News Center // Specialty and Sustainable Healthcare Material Solutions from Avient at Medtec China 2023 As a global specialized medical grade materials provider, Avient can offer a full range of support from the development to the production of healthcare applications that can help our customers positively impact a patient’s health and well-being.”

Use of Non-GAAP Measures This presentation includes the use of both GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures. At Avient, we’ve built a culture of winning and how we do so is unique, lasting and difficult to replicate. In 2021 we expect substantial earnings growth and strong cash flow generation as we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Material needs to: • Pass ampere test at 10A and 16A conditions • Pass glow wire test at 750°C at 1.5mm thickness • Have a lubrication effect and dimensional stability at an elevated temperature of 110°C • Meet test criteria of 250K cycles switch on/off without failure or dimensional changes • Reduced risk of shock by replacing brass with polymer formulation that met all key electrical and functional performance criteria • Eliminated the need for secondary lubricant due to self- lubricating properties of LubriOne materials • Enabled in-house molding which removed reliance on external part supplier and allowed direct management of global inventory levels LubriOne™ Internally Lubricated Formulations KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT?

A M E R I C A & A S I A • Eliminate voids in plastic that create quality issues • Reduce high scrap rates due to sink marks • Improve low strength-to-weight ratio due to voids • Reduce long cycle times • Run more fractional melt / low melt flow resins • Improved cell structure and physical properties • Removed sink marks to reduce scrap rates • Improved gas retention when used with N2 physical foam • Reduced short shots for lower scrap rates • Improved melt flow and created a more controllable foaming process • Provided greater ability to process low melt flow resins Excelite™ IM Chemical Foaming Additives KEY REQUIREMENTS* WHY AVIENT?

So how can you prevent this premature wear? They don’t remove the need for long-term maintenance, as parts will still wear, contaminate other interior finishes, capture dirt, and corrode. Here are the some of the top automotive applications that can benefit from making the switch:
