Learn how you can help reduce employee stress at the PVC pipe production job site by using liquid color and dosing equipment How using liquid colorant can give PVC pipe manufacturers greater control over their production environment Discover how the right color formulation and experience bridge the gap between the art and science of PVC pipe manufacturing

SIDING & CLADDING MANUFACTURER P R O F I L E E X T R U S I O N • Achieve consistent distribution and uniform cell structure • Avoid adverse chemical reactions caused by material incompatibility with PVC formulations • Maintain impact resistance and durability • Attain thermally-stable chemical foaming agent (CFA) and gas decomposition temperatures to avoid manufacturing downtime • Ensure the integrity of color, finish, and aesthetics • Validated performance and compatibility during formulation and testing to confirm material compatibility and consistency • Established processing parameters for real- time precision in temperature, pressure, and extrusion speed • Optimized CFA and process to balance weight reduction and retain mechanical properties and aesthetics Hydrocerol Chemical Foaming Agents KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT?

These materials are semi-crystalline and deliver excellent chemical resistance, low moisture uptake, and dimensional stability similar to nylon (PA6 and PA66). KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Chemical resistance • Maintaining high impact performance at low temperatures • Low moisture uptake • Dimensional stability comparable to nylon • Higher impact resistance than short fiber alternatives • Eco-conscious alternative to nylons • More cost-effective solution than specialty nylons • Available in non-PFAS* formulations to achieve UL 94 V-0 flame rating at 1.5 mm MARKETS & APPLICATIONS These materials are for use in applications traditionally made of metal requiring moisture, chemical and cold impact performance requirements, including: • Industrial – pipes, tubing, fluid management • Electrical & Electronics – connectors, battery components, battery housings • Transportation – under-the-hood fuel/ chemical contact components, non-structural interior components • Oil & Gas – fuel pump components, fuel doors PRODUCT BULLETIN * Non-PFAS flame-retardant (FR) grades are manufactured without intentionally added PFAS-based raw materials.

The concentrates provide the same breathability as post-treated fabrics with no influence on tenacity and provide abrasion resistance. Recommended use: nonwoven products that need protection from liquid (e.g., roofing underlays, tablecloths, pipe wraps, face masks) ANTIMICROBIAL Antimicrobial additives are important for nonwoven fabrics used in PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) and healthcare applications. Cesa™ antimicrobial additives for nonwovens are resistant to washing for long-lasting antimicrobial effectiveness.

MEDICAL CONTRACT MANUFACTURER A U T O - I N J E C T O R H O U S I N G • Excellent chemical and wear resistance • Excellent impact resistance • Specific color matching based on customer’s needs • Outstanding durability to extend product life • Customized a chemically resistant formulation to offer an impact-modified alternative to traditional competitors in the market • Provided technical support for material selection, part & tool design, and process development to accelerate commercialization • Delivered custom color matching to meet all key requirements Custom Trilliant™ HC Healthcare Thermoplastic KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT? https://www.avient.com/products/engineered-polymer-formulations/chemical-corrosion-resistant-formulations/trilliant-hc-healthcare-thermoplastics

To validate the switch, Avient’s solution needed to provide excellent chemical resistance to corrosive substances during use, withstand frequent sanitation procedures for long-term durability, and lower overall costs for Bettcher. Complēt long fiber composite not only met structural performance (strength), toughness and corrosion resistance requirements, it reduced part weight by nearly 40%.
