First quarter 2021 GAAP EPS from continuing operations was $0.86 compared to $0.38 in the prior year first quarter. Demand conditions were robust in the quarter, in particular for composite technologies and new business gains in healthcare applications. Patterson said, “As more and more vaccines are administered, we anticipate demand conditions will continue to improve.

THERMA-TECH™ THERMALLY CONDUCTIVE FORMULATIONS PROCESSING GUIDE 2 Therma-Tech Therma-Tech™ Therma-Tech™ Thermally Conductive Formulations have been engineered to combine the heat transfer and cooling capabilities of metals with the design freedom, weight reduction and cost advantages of thermoplastics. These materials provide the benefits of proprietary conductive additive technologies and the performance of select engineering thermoplastic resins. Maintain a minimum draft angle of 1° per side. 4 Therma-Tech Incomplete Fill Melt and/or mold too cold • Increase nozzle and barrel temperatures • Increase pack and hold pressure • Increase nozzle tip diameter • Check thermocouples and heater bands Mold design • Enlarge or widen vents and increase number of vents • Check that vents are unplugged • Check that gates are unplugged • Enlarge gates and/or runners • Perform short shots to determine fill pattern and verify proper vent location • Increase wall thickness to move gas trap to parting line Shot size • Increase cushion • Decrease transfer position Brittleness Low melt temperature • Measure melt temperature with pyrometer Degraded/ overheated material • Decrease melt temperature • Decrease back pressure • Use smaller barrel/excessive residence time • Decrease screw rpm Gate location and/or size • Relocate gate to nonstress area • Increase gate size to allow higher flow rate and lower molded in stress Fibers on Surface (Splay) Melt temperature too low • Increase injection speed • Increase screw rpm Insufficient packing • Increase pack and hold pressure, and time Processing Guide 5 Sink Marks Part geometry too thick • Reduce wall thickness • Reduce rib thickness • Maintain nominal wall thickness Melt too hot • Decrease nozzle and barrel temperatures Insufficient material volume • Increase pack pressure/time Flash Injection pressure too high • Decrease injection pressure • Increase clamp pressure • Increase transfer position Excess material volume • Decrease pack pressure • Decrease shot size Melt and/or mold too hot • Decrease screw speed Excessive Shrink Too much orientation • Increase packing time and pressure • Increase hold pressure • Decrease melt temperature • Decrease injection speed • Decrease screw rpm • Increase venting Not Enough Shrink Too little orientation • Decrease packing pressure and time • Decrease hold pressure • Increase injection speed • Increase screw rpm • Decrease cooling time 6 Therma-Tech Burning Melt and/or mold too cold Mold design • Clean, widen and increase number of vents • Increase gate size or number of gates Moisture • Verify material is dried at proper conditions Nozzle Drool Nozzle temperature too hot • Decrease nozzle temperature • Decrease back pressure • Increase screw decompression • Verify material has been dried at proper conditions Weld Lines Melt front temperatures are too low • Increase pack and hold pressure • Increase vent width and locations Mold design • Perform short shots to determine fill pattern and verify proper vent location • Add vents and/or false ejector pin • Move gate location Warp Excessive orientation • Decrease injection pressure and injection rate Mold design • Increase number of gates Sticking in Mold Cavities are overpacked • Decrease injection rate and pressure • Decrease pack and hold pressure Mold design • Increase draft angle Part is too hot 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.

In 2023, Avient continued to make progress with its Sustainable Sourcing Program to evaluate more of our partners. Through the Sustainable Sourcing Program, we expect our suppliers to continuously assess and evaluate their sustainability efforts, improving their performance over time. Avient is committed to continue partnerships with suppliers who align with the following policies:

Over the years, as GLS™ has worked with customers to perfect their thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) applications, we've developed a range of concepts and procedures that can help improve and optimize designs. One of the key properties of thermoplastic elastomers supplied by GLS is hardness. The hardness of a material is often one of the first criteria considered when choosing a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).
