16 EPC Polycarbonate Technology | 2013 | www.epc.com Pilot Facilities for Polymer Trials

Lab-scale Pilot Plant is available: . Raw material from customers can be used for producing Polymers

. Raw material and resulting polymer quality can be analyzed and evaluated

. Pilot plant design allows simulation of different process parameter

17 EPC Polycarbonate Technology | 2013 | www.epc.com Polycarbonate Trials – Optimal Material selection

Lab scale pilot plant is available for trials

Inadequate material selection may lead to a reaction between the phenol and the reactor material resulting in product discoloration

18 EPC Polycarbonate Technology | 2013 | www.epc.com Technology Advantages of ---ö

– No steam required in the plant – Disposal of Saline water not required. – Plant capacity adjustability (60% -100%) – MFI adjustability – wider range & quicker change-over time – Accurate MFI control (online viscosity measurement) – Production of multiple PC grades possible (simultaneously) – Optimal material selection as part of design – Minimal discoloration / corrosion – No oxygen ingress – due to welded seals – No catalyst inhibitor required – High transparency end-product – Higher plant availability – reduced downtime - continual operation possible during scheduled maintenance – Patented reactor design (hydraulic-driven finishing reactors & self-cleaning) – Integrated phenol recovery - High purity spent Phenol / spent DPC – All gaseous emissions controlled by incineration – Multi –stage transesterification – high level of process control

19 EPC Polycarbonate Technology | 2013 | www.epc.com Licensing Advantages of ---ö versus other PC technology Licensors

 No restrictive license terms Produce the PC Grades you want Produce the PC Quantities you want Sell into the Global Market – Where you want to sell & when you want to sell.

 No ongoing license fees A one-off payment for EPC know-how. (included in the Engineering and Equipment Contract)
