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.

Leases [Abstract]
LEASING ARRANGEMENTS	Note 4 — LEASING ARRANGEMENTS We lease certain manufacturing facilities, warehouse space, machinery and equipment, vehicles and information technology equipment. The majority of our leases are operating leases. Finance leases are immaterial to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Operating lease assets and obligations are reflected within Operating lease assets, net, Current operating lease obligations, and Non-current operating lease obligations, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, with variable lease payments recognized in the period those payments are incurred. The components of lease cost recognized within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income were as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (In millions) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Cost of sales $ 4.8 $ 5.5 $ 9.2 $ 9.3 Selling and administrative expense 2.2 3.4 4.5 7.8 Total operating lease cost $ 7.0 $ 8.9 $ 13.7 $ 17.1 We often have options to renew lease terms for buildings and other assets. The exercise of lease renewal options are generally at our sole discretion. In addition, certain lease arrangements may be terminated prior to their original expiration date at our discretion. We evaluate renewal and termination options at the lease commencement date to determine if we are reasonably certain to exercise the option on the basis of economic factors. The weighted average remaining lease term for our operating leases as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 was 4.8 years and 4.9 years, respectively. The discount rate implicit within our leases is generally not determinable and, therefore, the Company determines the discount rate based on its incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate for our leases is determined based on lease term and currency in which lease payments are made, adjusted for impacts of collateral. The weighted average discount rates used to measure our operating lease liabilities as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 were 3.7%. Maturity Analysis of Operating Lease Liabilities: As of June 30, 2022 (In millions) 2022 $ 12.4 2023 19.9 2024 12.9 2025 8.1 2026 5.0 Thereafter 11.3 Total lease payments 69.4 Less amount of lease payment representing interest (6.2) Total present value of lease payments $ 63.2

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	Note 7 — INCOME TAXES During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company’s effective tax rate of 26.1% and 25.0%, respectively, was above the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state taxes, foreign withholding tax liability accrued associated with the future repatriation of certain current year foreign earnings, and global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) tax. These unfavorable items were partially offset by the U.S. research and development tax credit. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s effective tax rate of 22.6% and 22.5%, respectively, was above the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state taxes, foreign withholding tax liability accrued associated with the future repatriation of certain current year foreign earnings and GILTI tax. These unfavorable items were partially offset by changes in net foreign deferred tax assets from a foreign statutory tax rate change, favorable prior year foreign return-to-provision adjustments and U.S. research and development tax credit.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	Note 10 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES We have been notified by federal and state environmental agencies and by private parties that we may be a potentially responsible party (PRP) in connection with the environmental investigation and remediation of certain sites. While government agencies frequently assert that PRPs are jointly and severally liable at these sites, in our experience, the interim and final allocations of liability costs are generally made based on the relative contribution of waste. We may also initiate corrective and preventive environmental projects of our own to ensure safe and lawful activities at our operations. We believe that compliance with current governmental regulations at all levels will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In September 2007, the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky (Court) in the case of Westlake Vinyls, Inc. v. Goodrich Corporation, et al ., held that Avient must pay the remediation costs at the former Goodrich Corporation Calvert City facility (now largely owned and operated by Westlake Vinyls, Inc. (Westlake Vinyls)), together with certain defense costs of Goodrich Corporation. The rulings also provided that Avient can seek indemnification for contamination attributable to Westlake Vinyls. Following the rulings, the parties to the litigation agreed to settle all claims regarding past environmental costs incurred at the site. The settlement agreement provides a mechanism to pursue allocation of future remediation costs at the Calvert City site to Westlake Vinyls. We will adjust our accrual, in the future, consistent with any such future allocation of costs. Additionally, we continue to pursue available insurance coverage related to this matter and recognize gains as we receive reimbursement. The environmental obligation at the site arose as a result of an agreement between The B.F. Goodrich Company (n/k/a Goodrich Corporation) and our predecessor, The Geon Company, at the time of the initial public offering in 1993. Under the agreement, The Geon Company agreed to indemnify Goodrich Corporation for certain environmental costs at the site. Neither Avient nor The Geon Company ever operated the facility. Since 2009, Avient, along with respondents Westlake Vinyls, and Goodrich Corporation, has worked with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to address contamination at the site. The USEPA issued its Record of Decision (ROD) in September 2018, selecting a remedy consistent with our accrual assumptions. In April 2019, the respondents signed an Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent with the USEPA to conduct the remedial design actions at the site. In February 2020, the respondents signed the agreed Consent Decree and remedial action Work Plan, which received Federal Court approval in January 2021. Our current reserve totals $107.7 million for this matter. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, Avient recognized $3.0 million and $5.0 million of expense, respectively, related to environmental remediation costs, compared to $12.5 million and $13.0 million recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, Avient received $7.6 million and $8.2 million, respectively, of insurance recoveries for previously incurred environmental costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, Avient received $4.5 million of insurance recoveries. These expenses and insurance recoveries are included within Cost of sales within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include accruals totaling $119.9 million and $124.5 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, based on our estimates of probable future environmental expenditures relating to previously contaminated sites. These undiscounted amounts are included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The accruals represent our best estimate of probable future costs that we can reasonably estimate, based upon currently available information and technology and our view of the most likely remedy. Depending upon the results of future testing, completion and results of remedial investigation and feasibility studies, the ultimate remediation alternatives undertaken, changes in regulations, technology development, new information, newly discovered conditions and other factors, it is reasonably possible that we could incur additional costs in excess of the amount accrued at June 30, 2022. However, such additional costs, if any, cannot be currently estimated. Avient is subject to a broad range of claims, administrative and legal proceedings such as lawsuits that relate to contractual allegations, tax audits, product claims, personal injuries, and employment related matters. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome or cost of these matters, the Company believes our current reserves are appropriate and these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING	Note 11 — DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING We are exposed to market risks, such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. To manage the volatility related to these exposures we may enter into various derivative transactions. We formally assess, designate and document, as a hedge of an underlying exposure, the qualifying derivative instrument that will be accounted for as an accounting hedge at inception. Additionally, we assess both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the financial instruments used in the hedging transaction are effective at offsetting changes in either the fair values or cash flows of the underlying exposures. In accordance with ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (ASU 2017-12), that ongoing assessment will be done qualitatively for highly effective relationships. Net Investment Hedge As a means of mitigating the future impact of currency fluctuations on our euro investments in foreign entities, we enter into cross currency swaps in which we generally pay fixed-rate interest in euros and receive fixed-rate interest in U.S. dollars. In April and May 2022, we settled €1.0 billion of our existing cross currency swaps and concurrently entered into €1.1 billion of new cross currency swaps, to align with our planned financing of the Dyneema Acquisition, receiving cash proceeds of $75.1 million. We currently have 11 cross currency swaps with a combined notional amount of €1.4 billion with maturities in 2023 and 2028. These effectively convert a portion of our U.S. dollar denominated fixed-rate debt to euro denominated fixed-rate debt. Included in Interest expense, net within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income are gains of $7.0 million and $12.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to gains of $3.5 million and $7.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. We designated the cross currency swaps as net investment hedges of our net investment in our European operations under ASU 2017-12 and applied the spot method to these hedges. The changes in fair value of the derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedges of net investments in foreign operations are recognized within A ccumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) to offset the changes in the values of the net investment being hedged. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, gains of $45.2 million and $52.0 million were recognized within translation adjustments in AOCI, net of tax, respectively, compared to a loss of $5.2 million and a gain of $17.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Instruments In August 2018, we entered into two interest rate swaps with a combined notional amount of $150.0 million to manage the variability of cash flows in the interest rate payments associated with our existing LIBOR-based interest payments, effectively converting $150.0 million of our floating rate debt to a fixed rate. We began to receive floating rate interest payments based upon one-month U.S. dollar LIBOR and in return are obligated to pay interest at a fixed rate of 2.732% until November 2022. We have designated these interest rate swap contracts as cash flow hedges pursuant to ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging . The net interest payments accrued are reflected in net income as adjustments of interest expense and the remaining change in the fair value of the derivatives is recorded as a component of AOCI. The amount of expense recognized within Interest expense, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income was $0.6 million and $1.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $1.0 million and $2.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, gains of $0.9 million and $2.1 million, net of tax, were recognized in AOCI, compared to gains of $0.7 million $1.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. Derivatives Not Designated for Hedge Accounting On April 20, 2022, we executed additional cross currency swaps, pursuant to which we will pay fixed-rate interest in euros and receive fixed-rate interest in U.S. dollars with a combined notional amount of €900 million, which mature in April 2028, as a means of mitigating the impact of currency fluctuations on our future euro investments in foreign entities related to the Dyneema Acquisition. Additionally, we entered into foreign currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of €350 million, which are scheduled to mature within one year, to mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations on the euro-denominated Purchase Price for the Dyneema Acquisition. Changes in the fair value of the cross-currency swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts are recorded in earnings directly. The amount of income recognized within Other income, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income was $0.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. All of our derivative assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. We determine the fair value of our derivatives based on valuation methods, which project future cash flows and discount the future amounts present value using market based observable inputs, including interest rate curves and foreign currency rates. The fair value of derivative financial instruments recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets is as follows: (In millions) Balance Sheet Location As of June 30, 2022 As of December 31, 2021 Assets Cross Currency Swaps (Net Investment Hedge) Other current assets $ 22.6 $ — Cross Currency Swaps (Net Investment Hedge) Other non-current assets 10.9 31.7 Mark-to-Market Cross Currency Swaps Other non-current assets 13.0 — Liabilities Interest Rate Swaps (Cash Flow Hedge) Other current liabilities $ 0.2 $ 3.1 Mark-to-Market Foreign Exchange Forwards Other current liabilities 12.1 —
