Used as a general purpose black, it is a versatile and cost-effective solution suitable for applications where a basic black colorant is required. An effective means of repurposing recyclate, OnColor R3 Recovered Black keeps waste from being sent to a landfill by reprocessing it into usable colorant. OnColor™ Recovered Black is designed for use in both injection molding and extrusion processing, and can be a good choice for a range of applications: • Industrial parts • Transportation, including structural or underhood components • Pipes and fittings • Building & construction applications • Thick sheet extrusions KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Reduction of plastic materials in disposals or landfills; promotes responsible care • Cost-effective option for non-critical color applications • Custom color critical applications available 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2022, Avient Corporation.

Avient acquired the Clariant Color business on July 1, 2020 (the “Acquisition Date”). In addition, operating income before the effect of special items is a component of Avient’s annual and long-term employee incentive plans and is used in debt covenant computations. Senior management believes the measures described above are useful to investors because they allow for comparison to Avient's performance in prior periods without the effect of items that, by their nature, tend to obscure Avient's operating results due to the potential variability across periods based on timing, frequency and magnitude.

Design times can be less than three days for colorants. There are significant revenue opportunities generated from the combined color and additive technology strengths of the two legacy companies. We are Avient.

As with conventional colorants, special effects such as wood or fiber effects can be added to increase design possibilities. www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.
