Spartech – Compelling Strategic Rationale
• Spartech expands PolyOne’s specialty portfolio with adjacent
technologies in attractive end markets
Bolt on acquisition with opportunity for global expansion as only Bolt‐on acquisition with opportunity for global expansion, as only
6% of Spartech’s revenues are outside of North America
• PolyOne has a proven management team with a track record of
transformational success
• Preliminary synergy estimated at $65 million run rate by end of
3year 3
Significant opportunity to expand profitability by leveraging
PolyOne’s four pillar strategy
• Substantial potential share price appreciation for all
shareholders

Why Invest In PolyOne?
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2021-06/fl.datasheet-strengthmembers.pdf
HMPE for example, has a
specific gravity less than 1 and will float in water.
• Corrosion
Since our products are non-corrosive, they offer outstanding
performance in corrosive environments, including marine and off-
shore applications.
• Conductivity
High-performance synthetic fibers act as a barrier between eletrical
components.
• Creep
When exposed to static long-term loads, synthetic fibers stretch very
little.

https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-07/phthalate-facts-brochure.pdf
Selected for their strong performance
and durability, phthalates are the most commonly used
plasticizers in the world.1
In recent years, concerns have been raised over the
use of phthalates, giving rise to myths and unfounded
speculation.
PHTHALATES FACTS
PHTHALATES ARE KNOWN
TO BREAK DOWN IN THE
HUMAN BODY
Research has shown that after
entering the body, phthalate
are broken down into metabolites
within minutes and pass out
quickly in urine.2
PHTHALATE EXPOSURE
IS CONSIDERED LOW
Despite the fact that phthalates
are used in a wide range of
products, human exposure from
all sources is considered to be
extremely low.2
PHTHALATES ARE A USEFUL
CHOICE FOR HEALTHCARE
Flexible vinyl tubing does not
react with most medications,
allowing for reliable
administration of drugs, while
flexible vinyl bags prevent blood
contamination and extend shelf
life of the blood.3
PHTHALATES ARE
REGULATED
Based on earlier studies, a few
specific phthalates have been
banned for use in toys or other
items for sale to children
under twelve to reduce risk of
overexposure through hand-to-
mouth behaviors.
