While most batteries are traditionally metal-based, there are significant advantages to using polymers (plastics) instead, especially with recent advancements in polymer science that make using these materials in electric vehicle batteries possible.
Design and Processing Flexibility: The versatility of plastic opens up new avenues for battery design and integration within electric vehicles.

Black & White
STANDARD AND CUSTOM
BLACK CONCENTRATES
• High pigment concentrations for high tinting
strength
• Lower concentrations to meet specific
customer needs
• Tailored for special requirements, with specific
physical/rheological properties
STANDARD AND CUSTOM WHITE
CONCENTRATES
• TiO2 based with excellent opacifying or tinting
strength
• Optical white to improve the surface whiteness
and/or brighteness of end articles
• Regulatory compliance support
• 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
• Carriers: PET, PBT, PA 6, PA 66, PP, and others
• Continuous filament spinning, including
fine denier (POY, FDY, HOY, bi-component yarns)
• Long and short spinning staple fiber
• Spunbond
SINGLE PIGMENT DISPERSIONS (SPDS)
We have extensive experience in using advanced
technologies and special raw materials, which make
our SPDs suitable for more demanding applications.
Product range
• Flame retardants to reduce flammability of
fibers and fabrics especially in building and
construction applications
• Light stabilizers to protect fibers used outdoors
or exposed to sunlight against UV light
• Antimicrobials to protect hygienic fiber products
from bacteria proliferation
• Antistatics to reduce electrostatic charges
• Antioxidants to reduce polymer oxidation during
spinning and protect fabrics during service life

effect and blueish hue
• Electrets to retain electrostatic charge on the
polymer surface for a longer period of time in
filtration applications

Cesa™ Fiber
Additives
MagIQ™ Liquid Fiber
Colorants & Additives
Multiple color production
• Depending on the manufacturing set-up, several
injection points can be added to enable multiple
color production at the same time on a single
extruder
Batch size flexibility
• Fiber producers can manufacture anything from
a few kilograms to hundreds of tons using the
same simple process
Rapid color changes
• No extruder contamination and easy color-on,
color-off operation increases color change speed
Waste reduction
• Rapid color changes, precise metering and
the ability to adjust color in-line reduces waste
during color changeovers
Continuous metering & long spin pack life
• High pigment and dye concentrations mean
fewer pack changes are required
• Where color is running low for larger volume
runs, low level metering sensors alert operators
and packs can be changed without disrupting
production
In-line IV adjustment
• Specialist additives are available to adjust
Intrinsic Viscosity (IV) in-line for rPET
applications
• These additives are available as single products,
or can be combined with color to create a multi-
functional formulation
Color design service
• Avient offers a dedicated color design service to
help shorten product development cycles and
enhance market agility
Liquid color processing
• Formulations are stable at temperatures up
to 60°C and retain good flow properties at
temperatures as low as 10°C
• These formulations can help lower yarn friction
and abrasion, and there is no fuming
or evaporation during production
Avient’s liquid fiber colorant technology combines advanced liquid color
formulations with state-of-the-art, high-pressure metering equipment to
enable late-stage injection of liquid color for spun-dyed polymer melt.
It works by injecting liquid color at high pressure into the polymer melt-
flow between the end of the extruder, or melt-pipe, and the spin head.

Factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking
statements include the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has on our business, results from
operations, financial condition and liquidity; our ability to achieve the strategic and other
objectives relating to the acquisition of Clariant’s Masterbatch business, including any expected
synergies; 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; changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations
regarding plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct business; changes in global industry
capacity or in the rate at which anticipated changes in industry capacity come online;
fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply;
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 continue to pay cash dividends including at
the increased rate; an inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services; an ability to
achieve or delays in achieving or achievement of less than the anticipated financial benefit from
initiatives related to acquisitions and integration, working capital reductions, costs reductions
and employee productivity goals; information systems failures and cyberattacks; and other
factors affecting our business beyond our control, including, without limitation, changes in the
general economy, changes in interest rates and changes in the rate of inflation.
