to grow 18% in 2021 as our innovation efforts
and collaboration with customers continues to
accelerate
• Investments centered around innovation and
global sustainability megatrends
o Enabling a circular economy –
Technologies that allow for increased use of
post-consumer recycled (PCR) material and
improve recyclability of plastics
o Light-weighting – Composites and CAI
applications to reduce weight and material
requirements, which minimize energy and
carbon emissions
o Eco-Conscious – Health and human safety
applications as well as Avient’s alternative
materials to replace lead, PVC, halogens,
BPA and other less eco-friendly options

Total Enterprise Value / 2021E EBITDA
Our current valuation with updated
guidance implies an EBITDA multiple
that is below specialty formulator
peers and the median of other
selected chemical / specialty
companies.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2024-03/Cesa Stat Antistatic Additives Product Bulletin.pdf
Static charges that build up on the surface of plastic
products can attract dust and dirt, cause sheet and
film to cling, and cause stacked products to stick
together.
This static buildup can then cause the
resulting parts, film or sheet to cling to one another,
or stick to the mold or tool.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-07/pvc-extrusion-processors-case-study.pdf
THE CHALLENGE
PVC sheet and profile extrusion processors were looking
for ways to hit lower density targets while maintaining
a high-quality cell structure.
The result was lower production
density with fewer voids in the extruded sheet or
profile, leading to higher quality finished goods and
a reduction in scrap rates.

BRASS OR STEEL DIE?
The metal used for FFF dies depends on the polymer:
unfilled materials can use softer brass dies, while fiber-reinforced materials
need harder steel to prevent premature wear.
https://www.avient.com/idea/forming-methods-and-applications
The existing solution — reinforcing the latch area with a steel plate — added vehicle weight and involved additional manufacturing processes, increasing time and cost.
