• In Q2 2021, several raw material markets
experienced significant price inflation and
tight inventory
o Average cost of hydrocarbon based materials
was up 45% year-over-year and 20%
sequentially
o Average cost of non-hydrocarbon based
materials was up 10% year-over-year and 8%
sequentially
• Additionally, we experienced other supply
chain challenges during Q2 related to raw
material spot purchases, freight constraints
and productivity loss as a result of these
shortages

NEW at Avient
In 2022, we launched new products and expanded applications for the healthcare market that
continue to evolve our portfolio to include more sustainable options, including:
Mevopur™ Healthcare Bio-Based Polymer Solutions are color and performance-enhancing additive
solutions formulated with bio-based polymers for healthcare applications
Mevopur™ Nucleation Additive Concentrates help produce thinner walls in polyolefin applications while
maintaining mechanical properties and reduce Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR) in HDPE
Mevopur™ Chemical Foaming Agents (CFA) enable reduced material use, while meeting regulator y
requirements for medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging
REMAFIN™ EP White Colorants for Pharmaceutical Packaging designed for a range of pharmaceuticals,
safeguarding light transmission while meeting regulatory requirements
Trilliant™ HC Glass Filled Polyketone offers a lower carbon footprint alternative to nylon with
excellent chemical resistance, high temperature performance, and good wear resistance
Versaflex™ HC Thermoplastic Elastomers are formulated to meet demanding healthcare device and
application challenges without phthalate plasticizers, including respirator y applications
Application Highlight:
Biopharmaceutical
Manufacturing Clamps
The Challenge
Develop an alternative to traditional nylon materials that
meets dimensional stability, impact and wear resistance
requirements, while enabling the customer to address
consistency of supply and sustainability objectives.
The Solution & Impact
Avient’s newest Trilliant™ HC formulation not only
provided improved chemical resistance over traditional
nylon, it was developed a lower carbon footprint material.
NEW at Avient
In 2022, we expanded our portfolio of sustainable solutions, including:
Complet™ REC solutions provide long fiber-reinforced composites are now available in recycled
nylon and TPU formulations
Polystrand™ R continuous fiber thermoplastic composites enables lighter weight reinforcement
with recycled PET
Edgetek™ PKE NHFR formulations are polyketone grades with non-halogen flame retardants
specifically designed for electric vehicle components, including connectors
Paint replacement technologies, including Artisan™ ABS portfolio and Molded-In Color Metallic
Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents enable reduced part weight without compromising
performance
Automotive OEM Lowers Carbon
Footprint With Avient
The Challenge
An automotive OEM was looking to increase the use of
sustainable materials for various vehicle parts in order to
make progress towards achieving their sustainability goals
and net zero emissions targets.
