WHY AVIENT?

It’s difficult to minimize the tradeoffs between thermal stability, foaming control and high processing temperatures when applying wire insulation,” explained Barto du Plessis, general manager, PolyOne Colorant Chromatics.
Thermal Stability: Excellent heat resistance from 340 - 380°C supports effective homogenization of the foaming agent with high-performance polymers
https://www.avient.com/idea/achieve-sensory-branding-goals-packaging
A weighted closure’s sensation of heaviness and deep-pitched sound when set on a surface can shape a consumer’s perception of that product as high quality and premium.
For applications ranging from luxury spirits to cosmetics closures, these high-density filled polymers offer chemical resistance, customizable density and flexibility, and ease of processing.
https://www.avient.com/knowledge-base/article/eco-conscious-packaging-collapsible-totes
Collapsible totes can stack up to five high when fully loaded for additional space savings.
Empty totes can stack up to 17 high while folded.

It has good tensile,
thermal, flex, and impact properties like nylon (PA)
while maintaining excellent wear and chemical
resistance.
Gasoline - 30% glass-filled (GF) grade, dry as molded (DAM), room temperature
Testing methodology is an adaptation from ASTM D543
• Reapply freshly soaked gauze pad every 24 hours to prevent from drying out
• Repeat for a total of 72 hours
• Tensile properties recorded

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;
• Changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding the disposal of plastic 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;
• An inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services;
• Information systems failures and cyber attacks; and
• Other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including, without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in

SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels): High-performance building panels used in floors, walls, and
roofs, consisting of an insulating foam core sandwiched between two structural facings.
Moreover, the high costs associated with transporting heavy traditional
materials can make scaling up less attractive.
Higher impact resistance: a prototype home constructed with
thermoplastic composite panels passed Florida hurricane wind standards
of 140 mi/hr

• 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 the disposal of plastic in jurisdictions where we

Tax adjustments include the net tax (expense) benefit from one-time income tax items, the set-up or reversal of uncertain tax position reserves and deferred income tax valuation allowance
adjustments.
