CLEVELAND – March 11, 2021 – Avient today launched two new materials based on polyketone (PK) that deliver comparable performance and lower production-related CO2 levels than nylon (PA66 and PA6) and acetal (POM). Developed in response to current nylon supply constraints, the new Edgetek™ PKE and LubriOne™ PKE series provide performance similar to PA66 and PA6. About Avient Avient Corporation (NYSE: AVNT), with 2020 pro forma revenues of $3.8 billion, provides specialized and sustainable material solutions that transform customer challenges into opportunities, bringing new products to life for a better world.

GLS TPE - Closurelogic Cap Liner - English CLOSURELOGIC GMBH A L U M I N U M C A P L I N E R • Compliance with food contact regulations • Seals to glass, PET and aluminum bottles • Excellent pressure retention for carbonated beverages • Provided a low migration TPE with outstanding organoleptic properties • Enabled processing at temperatures 20°C lower than comparative materials GLS™ Thermoplastic Elastomer KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT? AVIENT SOLUTION REGULATORY COMPLIANCE LEARN MORE Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.

Recycle Solutions Customizable solution Developed in Asia, these PA6 and PA66 grades are formulated with 20-100% PCR nylon

THE SOLUTION Maintaining high organoleptic standards while easing processing windows can be difficult. THE IMPACT Caps made by closurelogic with Avient’s low migration cap liner technology preserve water quality while ensuring seal integrity. Avient offers GLS TPE cap liner formulations that are suitable for aqueous, acidic and low alcohol beverages processed under ambient, pasteurized or hot fill conditions.

The color can be combined with additives for a single masterbatch solution that provides coloration and enhances the properties of spun-dyed fibers.

In each case, the physical property retention of Avient’s PK-based formulations was superior to that of PA6 or PA66. The glass-filled polyketone samples showed better property retention and lower dimensional change than PA6 and PA66. Take a comprehensive look at the performance and sustainability benefits of this next-gen material solution.
