The non-GAAP financial measures include: Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Free Cash Flow, Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA.
Avient does not provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, such as outlook for Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow to the most comparable GAAP financial
measures on a forward-looking basis because Avient is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort.

Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives
Laser Welding Additives for Medical Devices
Laser welding has become a technology of choice
to join plastic parts of complex medical devices.
Also known as transmission welding, laser welding
is the process of using focused laser radiation to
bond two plastic parts, one that is transparent to
the laser energy and one that absorbs the energy.
Please be aware that there are certain applications Avient’s Mevopur products have not been designed for, nor are they promoted or intended for use in: including, but not limited to long-term or permanent
implants, birth control devices, or plastic surgery.

• Continuous filament spinning, including
fine denier (POY, FDY, HOY, bi-component yarns)
• Spunbond
WHITE
• TiO2 white with excellent opacifying
or tinting strength
• Optical white MBs that improve the surface
whiteness and/or brightness of end products
• Optimal melt flow properties allow a good
mixture with the polymer matrix yielding
the best possible spinnability
• Full pigment dispersion ensures maximum CPF/
Spinning pack life
It works by injecting liquid color at high pressure into the polyester melt-flow
between the end of the extruder, or melt-pipe, and the spin head.

In a balanced runner system, molten material flows into each cavity at equal times and pressure.
For conventional cold runner tools, full-round runners are best because they provide the lease resistance to flow and minimize cooling in the runner.
