Examples include:
• Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life
and quality of food, beverages, medicine and
other perishable goods through high-
performance materials that require less plastic
• Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier
traditional materials like metal, glass and wood,
which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of
transportation
• Breakthrough technologies that minimize
wastewater, improve the recyclability of materials
and advance a circular economy
• Composite solutions to support accelerated
growth of 5G / fiber-optic infrastructure
investment as the world demands greater and
faster connectivity
Avient employs approximately 8,400 associates and is
certified ACC Responsible Care® and a founding
member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste.
We will do so though our investments and focus on
sustainable solutions for high-growth markets, including healthcare,

Glass
fiber and glass beads formulations are typically used
for injection molding processes where improved
dimensional stability is required.
Titanate Fiber Compounds can increase mechanical
strength while gaining chemical inertness and
excellent cryogenic impact resistance.
They can
also be used as an antistatic coating on FEP or
PTFE-impregnated glass cloth or as a resistance
carrier for heating bands.

NYMAX™ BIO
BIO-BASED POLYAMIDE SOLUTIONS
PROCESSING GUIDE
1 NYMAX BIO
Formulated in glass fiber-filled or unfilled
materials, Nymax™ BIO formulations utilize
between 16 and 47 percent natural filler from
renewable plant-based raw materials, reducing
the carbon footprint value significantly at the
beginning of the product lifecycle.
These highly
engineered formulations deliver comparable
performance to traditional PA66 glass fiber-
filled materials, plus the bio-derived solutions
offer lower warpage and have excellent surface
appearance and colorability.
Regrind is not suggested—glass fiber reinforce material will lose strength
after regrind

Sales Adj.
We will deliver for our stakeholders through multiple value creation levers—many of
which are unique to Avient:
o Demand for sustainable solutions, healthcare, and composites, together with Clariant
Masterbatch revenue synergies, that will drive 2021 revenue growth of 14% and long-term
growth in excess of GDP
o Clariant Masterbatch cost synergy capture will result in significant near-term benefit
In addition, we remain committed to increasing annual dividends in line with earnings growth and
opportunistically buying back shares, all while remaining modestly levered.
