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

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.

The new container, to be made from an impact-modified polypropylene, needed good sidewall stiffness and excellent impact resistance.
Teams from both companies worked closely to understand the specific property needs, and then searched for an impact modifier solution that the manufacturer could readily blend into polypropylene at the molding machine.

Hammerhead™ Marine Panels: with a weight savings of more than 50% versus plywood, these continuous-fiber reinforced thermoplastic sandwich panels offer boat manufacturers a lighter, more efficient alternative to traditional marine construction materials.
Its EMI/RFI portfolio – including new long-fiber conductive materials – helps shield ADAS cameras, sensors and electronic control units to eliminate cross talk.
Lightweighting is also part of this trend, and its Polystrand™ thermoplastic composite continuous fiber tapes and laminates are providing the structural strength to replace metals while amplifying design freedom.
