Composites is a high-growth area where we’ve invested, such as in January when we purchased Fiber-Line, a global leader in customized engineered fibers and composite materials that serves the fiber optic cable, oil & gas, industrial and consumer industries.

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; 6 PROXY STATEMENT 2024 | Annual Meeting of Shareholders • 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 resources conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility. As the world continues to shift from operating in a linear economy to a circular economy and to a lower carbon footprint, Avient is proud to be a part of the solution. By 2030, Avient will reduce Scope 1 & 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 55% with 2019 as a baseline and achieve operational carbon neutrality by 2050.

Bonding of TPE with a particular polyamide chemistry is also affected by the additives packages, such as heat stabilizers, glass fibers, flow modifiers, impact modifiers and pigments. Table 2 summerizes the data of different polyamide systems; polyamide 6, polyamide 66, glass filled, fiber reinforced , impact modified and heat stabilized.

Based on the raw materials used and manufacturing practices, these materials have a different product carbon footprint (PCF). LSR will generally withstand high levels of exposure to cleaning and disinfecting chemicals, but is susceptible to attacks by concentrated solvents (gasoline, mineral spirits) and acids (sulfuric acid, carbonic acid, citric acid found in car batteries, sodas and juices).¹
