THE SOLUTION
Avient recommended Bergamid™ B70 G30H black TM-X PA 6
resin with 30 percent glass fiber reinforcement for its excellent
mechanical properties and cost benefits.
THE IMPACT
By replacing traditional fabricated bent steel plate with
injection-molded Bergamid PA 6 resin, HellermannTyton was
able to duplicate key performance attributes while gaining
new benefits in the areas of cost savings, design freedom and
weight reduction.

Renol™ & Remafin™ Fiber Colorants
Black & White
STANDARD AND CUSTOM
BLACK CONCENTRATES
• High pigment concentrations for high tinting
strength
• Lower concentrations to meet specific
customer needs
• Tailored for special requirements, with specific
physical/rheological properties
STANDARD AND CUSTOM WHITE
CONCENTRATES
• TiO2 based with excellent opacifying or tinting
strength
• Optical white to improve the surface whiteness
and/or brighteness of end articles
• Regulatory compliance support
Product characteristics
• Optimal melt flow properties allow a good
mixture with the polymer matrix yielding
the best possible spinnability
• Full pigment dispersion ensures maximum
CPF/Spinning pack life
• Carriers: PET, PBT, PA 6, PA 66, PP, and others
Applications
• Continuous filament spinning, including
fine denier (POY, FDY, HOY, bi-component yarns)
• Long and short spinning staple fiber
• Spunbond
SINGLE PIGMENT DISPERSIONS (SPDS)
We have extensive experience in using advanced

Renol™ & Remafin™ Fiber Colorants
Single Pigment Dispersions & Custom Colors
Special Products
Our portfolio includes
color formulations
for high-tenacity
yarn applications.
Product range
• Flame retardants to reduce flammability of
fibers and fabrics especially in building and
construction applications
• Light stabilizers to protect fibers used outdoors
or exposed to sunlight against UV light
• Antimicrobials to protect hygienic fiber products
from bacteria proliferation
• Antistatics to reduce electrostatic charges
• Antioxidants to reduce polymer oxidation during
spinning and protect fabrics during service life
• Optical brighteners to provide a brilliant white
effect and blueish hue
• Electrets to retain electrostatic charge on the
polymer surface for a longer period of time in
filtration applications
• Hydrophobics to impart durable water repellency
• Chain extenders for recycled polyester fibers
• Others on request
Product characteristics
• Good spinnability
• Fiber-specific QC and protocols
• Lot-to-lot consistency

• Product guidance from our fiber expert team
• Focus on safe and sustainable formulations
Applications
• Continuous filaments (POY, FDY, HOY, BCF)
• Long and short spinning staple fiber
• Nonwoven processes (spunbond and meltblown)
Cesa™ Fiber
Additives
MagIQ™ Liquid Fiber
Colorants & Additives
Multiple color production
• Depending on the manufacturing set-up, several
injection points can be added to enable multiple
color production at the same time on a single
extruder
Batch size flexibility
• Fiber producers can manufacture anything from
a few kilograms to hundreds of tons using the
same simple process
Rapid color changes
• No extruder contamination and easy color-on,
color-off operation increases color change speed
Waste reduction
• Rapid color changes, precise metering and
the ability to adjust color in-line reduces waste
during color changeovers
Continuous metering & long spin pack life
• High pigment and dye concentrations mean
fewer pack changes are required
• Where color is running low for larger volume
runs, low level metering sensors alert operators
and packs can be changed without disrupting
production
In-line IV adjustment
• Specialist additives are available to adjust
Intrinsic Viscosity (IV) in-line for rPET
applications
• These additives are available as single products,
or can be combined with color to create a multi-
functional formulation
Color design service
• Avient offers a dedicated color design service to
help shorten product development cycles and
enhance market agility
Liquid color processing
• Formulations are stable at temperatures up
to 60°C and retain good flow properties at
temperatures as low as 10°C
• These formulations can help lower yarn friction
and abrasion, and there is no fuming
or evaporation during production
Avient’s liquid fiber colorant technology combines advanced liquid color
formulations with state-of-the-art, high-pressure metering equipment to
enable late-stage injection of liquid color for spun-dyed polymer melt.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data)
Senior management uses comparisons of adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to PolyOne common shareholders, adjusted earnings per share (EPS)
attributable to PolyOne common shareholders and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to assess performance and allocate resources
because senior management believes that these measures are useful in understanding current profitability levels and that current levels may serve as a base for future performance.
