Examples include:
• Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life
and quality of food, beverages, medicine and
other perishable goods through high-
performance materials that require less plastic
• Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier
traditional materials like metal, glass and wood,
which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of
transportation
• Breakthrough technologies that minimize
wastewater, improve the recyclability of materials
and advance a circular economy
• Composite solutions to support accelerated
growth of 5G / fiber-optic infrastructure
investment as the world demands greater and
faster connectivity

FUTURE GROWTH IN EXCESS
OF GDP IS DRIVEN BY:
Our company is positioned to sustainably grow at a rate that
exceeds GDP.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-11/Packaging Anti-fog Whitepaper.pdf
Fogging on
plastics films is really not all that different than the
fog that forms outside; it’s just that, on a plastic
film, fog forms on a convenient hydrophobic
surface—namely, the film.
Water vapor in the form of tiny droplets condenses
on a plastic film’s surface when an enclosed mass
of air cools to a temperature at its dew point.
But
plastics material systems are dynamic too.

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;
• The current and potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial position or cash flows, including without any limitation, any supply chain and logistics issues;
• Our ability to achieve the strategic and other objectives relating to the acquisition of Clariant’s Color business, including any expected synergies;
• 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 achieve the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to acquisition and integration working capital reductions, cost reductions and employee productivity goals;
• Our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends;
• Information systems failures and cyberattacks;
• Our ability to consummate and successfully integrate acquisitions;
• 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; and
• Other factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 under Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”

• Revenue from sustainable solutions expected
to grow 18% in 2021 as our innovation efforts
and collaboration with customers continues to
accelerate
• Investments centered around innovation and
global sustainability megatrends
o Enabling a circular economy –
Technologies that allow for increased use of
post-consumer recycled (PCR) material and
improve recyclability of plastics

https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/resources/Universal_Polyamide_Overmold_Thermoplastic_Elastomer.pdf
Polyamide (i.e. nylon) is preferred plastic in many high end applications due to
its crystalline structure and high melting temperature.
TPE chemistry and the type of engineering plastic play a critical role in influencing wettability.
We have modified ASTM D903 method for plastics to evaluate the adhesion of
soft TPE onto rigid thermoplastic.
