After developing a deep understanding of the customer’s needs, Avient’s team quickly went to work to formulate a custom OnColor™ color and then added Cesa™ WithStand™ antimicrobial technology to make a single Smartbatch™ masterbatch that passed all of the product’s challenging requirements. THE IMPACT • FLEXIBILITY through wide range of color options • PROTECTION of product through antimicrobial technology • SPEED to MARKET through supplier expertise • COST REDUCTION through simplified processing • CONSISTENT performance through all-inclusive, one step masterbatch Each Smartbatch solution is custom formulated to incorporate color, antimicrobial technology and UV stability in one material, simplifying them manufacturing process and delivering consistent performance

These highly concentrated liquid formulations deliver a consistent finish with repeatable and dependable processing. ColorMatrix LCX dispersions are designed to minimize and eliminate screw slip, streaking and specking, all while generating cost-to-color savings through processing efficiencies that include: • Handling efficiency – bulk distribution, individual feed stations • Inventory reduction – less inventory and required floor space • Process efficiency – improved color change times KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Highly concentrated pigment dispersions specifically for EBM processing • Provides dimensional stability by utilizing more resin instead of fillers • Reduces costs through handling and processing efficiencies • Customization available for design and product handling • Can be formulated in combination with a wide selection of additive technologies to meet performance needs MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS ColorMatrix LCX Liquid Dispersions for EBM processing are well suited for the following: • Monolayer applications • LDR less than 3% • Large volume whites and blacks • Tints 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2021, Avient Corporation.

Fiber-Line™ Specialty Engineered Thermoplastic Tapes PRODUCT BULLETIN Fiber-Line™ Specialty Engineered Thermoplastic Tapes are composite formulations composed of a wide range of fibers that are uniquely engineered to enhance fiber and composite tape performance— such as twisting and coating—and subsequently custom manufactured into a tape cured with a thermoplastic resin. Providing strength and reinforcement, Fiber-Line tapes can be custom-formulated to meet mechanical or thermal performance requirements.

BEHAVIOR OF ANTI-FOG CONCENTRATES IN LAMINATED BARRIER FILMS Different anti-fog masterbatch concentrates can be formulated for different types of packaging film. In addition, these films contain an anti-fogging additive specially formulated not to compromise any of this easy-peel functionality. There were several key challenges that had to be met in the development of this specialty formulation.

NYMAX™ BIO BIO-BASED POLYAMIDE SOLUTIONS PROCESSING GUIDE 1 NYMAX BIO Formulated in glass fiber-filled or unfilled materials, Nymax™ BIO formulations utilize between 16 and 47 percent natural filler from renewable plant-based raw materials, reducing the carbon footprint value significantly at the beginning of the product lifecycle. These highly engineered formulations deliver comparable performance to traditional PA66 glass fiber- filled materials, plus the bio-derived solutions offer lower warpage and have excellent surface appearance and colorability. Nymax BIO low water absorption PA formulations provide excellent dimensional stability and property retention after conditioning, solving the problem of water uptake (hygroscopy) for finished parts.

Facing these challenges, engineers from a leading global wire and cable manufacturer approached Avient to explore new material formulations that would also improve processability and productivity without sacrificing stringent flame and data performance requirements. THE IMPACT When compared with FEP, Maxxam FR formulations offer significant cost savings and improve processing ease.

In addition, laser absorption levels can be adjusted using our formulation expertise. The Bergamid Laser Welding product portfolio offers PA66 formulations that meet required transmission rates across various sectors.

Edgetek 3D/LDS Solutions can be formulated in PC, LCP, PPS and be customized to meet customers’ specific needs. The 3D/LDS Edgetek formulations help advanced electronic component manufacturers to miniaturize mechanical and electrical systems for smaller end products, even in high heat manufacturing process, such as Surface-Mounted Technology (SMT), and are commonly used in industries like electronics, automotive and the 5G sector and related infrastructure.

CESA NOX – STANDARD OFFERINGS CESA Nox additives can be used in combination with other CESA masterbatches, and formulations can be customized for most applications. Some formulations are specific for use in U.S. and Canada.

SmartBatch™ Frost Collection PRODUCT BULLETIN SmartBatch™ Frost Collection concentrates from Avient are special formulations that enable a high- end and soft appearance through injection stretch blow molding (ISBM). This special effects formulation is able to replace spray-on or painted frost effects and allows for easy dosing without secondary operations, which delivers significantly lower total cost and maximum productions efficiencies.
