Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS	Note 2 — BUSINESS COMBINATIONS On April 19, 2022, we entered into a signing protocol (the Signing Protocol) with Koninklijke DSM N.V., a public limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands (DSM). Pursuant to the terms of the Signing Protocol, Avient and DSM agreed that, after completion of the consultation process with the relevant Dutch works council, they would will enter into a Sale and Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) pursuant to which Avient will, among other things, acquire from DSM (a) all of the equity of DSM Protective Materials International B.V., a private limited liability company organized under the laws of the Netherlands, DSM Protective Materials B.V., a private limited liability company organized under the laws of the Netherlands, and DSM Protective Materials LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and (b) certain other assets related to DSM's protective materials business (including the Dyneema© Brand) (such equity and assets together, the Dyneema Business) (such acquisition of the Dyneema Business, the Dyneema Acquisition). Avient and DSM entered into the Purchase Agreement on June 23, 2022. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we have agreed to acquire the Dyneema Business for an aggregate purchase price of €1.38 billion, subject to certain customary adjustments for a European “locked box” transaction (the Purchase Price). Certain Purchase Price payments are Euro-denominated and are subject to change based on fluctuations in the euro-U.S. dollar exchange rate. The closing of the Dyneema Acquisition will be subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary and other conditions. We have received all required regulatory approvals. In conjunction with our intent to acquire the Dyneema Business, we are exploring a potential sale of our Distribution business. On July 1, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of Magna Colours Ltd. (Magna Colours), a market leader in sustainable, water-based inks technology for the textile screen printing industry, for the purchase price of $47.6 million, net of cash acquired. The results of the Magna Colours business are reported in the Color, Additives and Inks segment. The purchase price allocation resulted in intangible assets of $27.5 million and goodwill of $22.0 million, partially offset by net liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The intangible assets that have been acquired are being amortized over a period of 10 to 20 years. Purchase accounting was finalized as of June 30, 2022.
