From resin formulations to composite matrix and fiber configurations, we can help you develop the combination that will meet your specific needs. DESIGN Finally, when creating a component that will meet your application requirements efficiently and economically, it’s important to consider design early in the development process. WHEN YOU WORK WITH Avient From concept to component, you can leverage Avient’s expertise throughout the development cycle in three key areas: Materials, Processing & Design DE SI GN MATERIALS www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.

Whether in solid or liquid form, our fiber concentrates are developed for use in the more sustainable process of spin-dyeing, or dope-dyeing, which requires no water and less energy than other dyeing methods. Lower-concentration solutions can be developed to meet specific customer needs Product range • Flame retardants to reduce flammability of fibers and fabrics especially in building and construction applications • Light stabilizers to protect fibers used outdoors or exposed to sunlight against UV light • Antimicrobials to protect hygienic fiber products from bacteria proliferation • Antistatics to reduce electrostatic charges • Antioxidants to reduce polymer oxidation during spinning and protect fabrics during service life • Optical brighteners to provide a brilliant white effect and blueish hue • Electrets to retain electrostatic charge on the polymer surface for a longer period of time in filtration applications • Hydrophobics to impart durable water repellency • Chain extenders for recycled polyester fibers • Others on request Product characteristics • Good spinnability • Fiber-specific QC and protocols • Lot-to-lot consistency • Carriers: PET, PBT, PA 6, PP, and others • Possibility to combine colors and additives into a combination concentrate for convenience • Product guidance from our fiber expert team • Focus on safe and sustainable formulations • Continuous filaments (POY, FDY, HOY, BCF) • Long and short spinning staple fiber • Nonwoven processes (spunbond and meltblown) Cesa™ Fiber Additives MagIQ™ Liquid Fiber Colorants & Additives Multiple color production • Depending on the manufacturing set-up, several injection points can be added to enable multiple color production at the same time on a single extruder Batch size flexibility • Fiber producers can manufacture anything from a few kilograms to hundreds of tons using the same simple process Rapid color changes • No extruder contamination and easy color-on, color-off operation increases color change speed Waste reduction • Rapid color changes, precise metering and the ability to adjust color in-line reduces waste during color changeovers Continuous metering & long spin pack life • High pigment and dye concentrations mean fewer pack changes are required • Where color is running low for larger volume runs, low level metering sensors alert operators and packs can be changed without disrupting production In-line IV adjustment • Specialist additives are available to adjust Intrinsic Viscosity (IV) in-line for rPET applications • These additives are available as single products, or can be combined with color to create a multi- functional formulation Color design service • Avient offers a dedicated color design service to help shorten product development cycles and enhance market agility Liquid color processing • Formulations are stable at temperatures up to 60°C and retain good flow properties at temperatures as low as 10°C • These formulations can help lower yarn friction and abrasion, and there is no fuming or evaporation during production Avient’s liquid fiber colorant technology combines advanced liquid color formulations with state-of-the-art, high-pressure metering equipment to enable late-stage injection of liquid color for spun-dyed polymer melt.

We wanted to make it easier for our customers to create durable piping systems by developing a plastic flapper valve that could be easily fused onto polyethylene (PE) pipe. THE SOLUTION Gravi-Tech™ density-modified formulations are unique, high-density materials developed as thermoplastic-based alternatives to lead and other traditional metals.

Developing the most appropriate formulation for an application is our forte. We have helped customers develop parts that are: • Wear-resistant: End products such as bearings and sleeves that do not require lubrication • Conductive: Electrical and/or thermal conductivity, in molded and extruded parts • X-Ray opaque: Used for medical and dental devices.
