Demand (34) • Demand was down, but less than in previous
quarters, due to slowing pace of destocking
• Positive net price benefit:
o CAI – Pricing flat with favorable mix from
uptick in packaging and consumer end
markets and raw material deflation
o SEM - Pricing flat with favorable mix from
Composites and raw material deflation
• Cost reductions primarily driven by reduced
administrative costs and cost synergies

Avient Corporation
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
(In millions, except per share data)
Senior management uses operating income before special items to assess performance and allocate resources because senior
management believes that this measure is most useful in understanding current profitability levels and how it may serve as a
basis for future performance.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-01/Mevopur Healthcare Functional Additives_Laser Welding Additives for Medical Devices Application Bulletin.pdf
Avient uses a “systems approach” to develop the
laser welding solution most adapted to your project,
taking into consideration the following aspects:
• Transmitting and absorbing parts
• Polymer type and grade
• Dispersion of the additive in the final part
• Sufficient and consistent loading of the additive
• Part design: attention to flow separation at the
welding interface
• Color and opacitiy
• Quality control – e.g. establish suitable control
parameters (UV Visible Spectra)
• Laser wavelength and processing parameter
Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives
formulated for laser welding are designed for use
in healthcare applications.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Manufactured at four ISO 13485 certified sites,
providing global consistency and increased
security of supply
• Documented change control beyond CAS
number, reducing risk of change
• Available as additive concentrates, ready-to-use
additive formulations or ready-to-use additive/
colorant formulations for different polymers
REGULATORY SUPPORT
• Raw materials tested to:
- ISO 10993-1 and USP biological
evaluation
- European Pharmacopeia 3.1.3/3.1.5
(polyolefin)
- USP (polyethylene)
- ICH Q3D elemental impurities
• Registered Drug Master File (Type III) and/or
Device Master File
• Food contact established with FDA/EU*
APPLICATION BULLETIN
* FDA/EU compliance information available upon request; exceptions may occur
Healthcare use limitations apply—see below.
