The Company acquired the Clariant Color business on July 1, 2020. Avient has brought multiple solutions to that help us achieve this aim.” Nets made of Dyneema are very strong and very light… Less weight means less fuel burn, very interesting for us.”

They are based on management's expectations that involve a number of business risks and uncertainties, any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements.  Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; the effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; disruptions or inefficiencies in our supply chain, logistics, or operations; changes in laws and regulations in jurisdictions where we conduct business, including with respect to plastics and climate change; fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply; demand for our products and services; production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs; unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; information systems failures and cyberattacks; amounts for cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring plans that may differ from original estimates, including because of timing changes associated with the underlying actions; our ability to achieve strategic objectives and successfully integrate acquisitions, including the implementation of a cloud-based enterprise resource planning system, S/4HANA; other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates, changes in the rate of inflation, geopolitical conflicts, and any recessionary conditions; and other factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended

These methods include: PULTRUSION • Fibers are impregnated with liquid thermoset resins, then pulled through a heated die to cure the resin and form the product • This continuous, automated manufacturing process creates constant cross section profiles of any pre-determined length with consistent, uniform quality and exceptional mechanical performance • Applications include rods and profiles of various lengths and complexities, such as utility poles, insulator core rods and structural beams CONTINUOUS FILAMENT WINDING • Combines the principles of filament winding with pultrusion to create constant or tapered cross- sectional tubing in precision sizes • The unique axial and biaxial fiber orientation provides flexural and tensile strength, as well as crush and burst resistance • Applications include lightweight shelter frames and sporting goods components CONTINUOUS RESIN TRANSFER MOLDING (CRTM™) • Engineered core materials are sandwiched between structural composite laminate face sheets • Continuous composite sandwich panels feature high specific strength and stiffness-to-weight ratio • Applications include ballistic resistant panels, truck floors and rail car doors CONTINUOUS FIBER REINFORCED THERMOPLASTICS • Fully recyclable tape, X-Ply™ (0°/90°), and other multi-ply configurations with widths up to 10' wide • Sandwich panels in unlimited lengths, up to 6" thick and 10' wide • High volume production capacity • Applications include structural and aerodynamic components in transportation, and reinforcement of materials such as wood and metal THERMOSET COMPOSITE LAMINATES & BARSTOCK • Unidirectionally reinforced barstock, laminates and hybrid composites engineered to maximize deflection and fatigue resistance • Customizable shapes and sizes • Applications include archery bow limbs, flat springs, prosthetics, sporting equipment THERMOSET FINISHING OPERATIONS • Customized finishing capabilities for barstock and laminates including machining, water-jet cutting, profiling/shaping, sanding, slitting, laminating, molding and coatings TESTING CAPABILITIES • Mechanical – Flexural, tensile, compression, shear, fatigue, impact resistance • Physical – Specific gravity/density, Barcol hardness, water absorption, void content, resin/fiber content, dye penetrant, viscosity • Thermomechanical – Coefficient of linear thermal expansion, glass transition temperature, deflection temperature, degree of cure, curing properties • Electrical – High-voltage, low current dry arc resistance of solid electrical insulation, dielectric strength, water diffusion ABOUT AVIENT ADVANCED COMPOSITES The Avient advanced composites portfolio consists of Glasforms™, Gordon Composites™ and Polystrand™ branded materials.

This unique automated dispense system ensures that approved, consistent and repeatable colors are available to you, wherever and whenever you need them.
