New Technology – Urethane Acrylates 12

For Years, Users such as yourself had the following resin options:

• Polyester • Vinyl Ester• Epoxy• Urethane• And now Urethane Acrylates

New Technology – Urethane Acrylates 13

By controlling the Reaction in our Reactors:

• You do not have to worry about isocyanates!• Moisture and humidity are no longer a concern.• Molecular structures are almost endless, giving a vast

possibility of designing the correct structure for you.• The next slide shows you a simplified but effective idea of our

differences to current technology in resins.

14

New Technology – Urethane Acrylates 15

Over the past three years…

• Approval into ARCA/K&N/Exfinity Race Cars• Approval for our first Tier One in North America, (bumper

stiffener)• On the final stages of a four year project with US Government

for military/commercial pallets• Testing program on going with major carbon fiber manufacturer

producing wind blade stiffeners• Resin to be used on replacement for all US Postal Service

vehicles

New Technology – Urethane AcrylatesWhat we have…Where we are Going

16

• Resin in Pultrusion and Infusion• Beta testing has started for SMC work in US, UK beta tester

have now received first small orders• Tg’s of 109C, (228F) for 1250 and 1260 Resins• Tg’s of 297C, (567F) for our 10722 and 10723 resins• Blendable? Certainly…we are getting great results, High Tg

and High Toughness • Where is the heat? Engine bays, exhaust manifolds• Major push into automotive and wind• We plan to push for styrene removal in the future generations

New Technology – Urethane AcrylatesNorth American Production

17

• Toll Manufacturing Partners…True Partners. Resins will start out being Mfd in UK but will transition to US

• 2 sites were chosen by end of September 2017 (SMC)• Maximum of 3 potential customers will be chosen by end of 2nd

quarter.

New Technology – Urethane AcrylatesWhy UA Technology

18

• Excellent adhesion to carbon fiber and fiberglass• Abrasion resistance (Testing by USAF)• Cold Temp and Hot Temp • Ability to be thickenable• Ability for Fast Curing/Processing• Survives E-Coat process

New Technology – Urethane AcrylatesWhy Scott Bader?

19

• Our Model is to work with you…side by side• Offer unique chemistry, opening the door for more opportunities

for our customers• We are not the biggest…and we don’t want to be• Our ownership structure, cannot be bought or sold• We have the ability to not be pressured by quarterly results, we

focus on the long term, hence we can be more strategic• We are making major investments in the USA
