Fiber-reinforced polymer composites combine thermoset
or thermoplastic resins with fiber reinforcement, the resulting
product having substantially different properties than the
individual components.

In fact, its
engineers routinely test and validate a host of new
composite applications.
The composite parts held
up well, and passed stringent standards for long-term
performance.
The Avient composite cradle brace became a lighter-
weight performance upgrade for the stock aluminum
cradle brace.

PEER COMPARISONS
22
As a specialty formulator, we don’t
require significant capital
investment, as compared to the
base resin raw material suppliers
we purchase from.
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 long-term revenue 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.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2021-12/AVNT 2021 Investor Day_0.pdf
We will do so through our investments and focus
on sustainable solutions for high-growth markets, including
healthcare, consumer, packaging and composites.
