2 Revenue by Product Line

3 Revenue by Refrigeration Product Lubricants associated with the ammonia refrigeration industry make up >63% of the company s refrigeration lubricant sales

4 Industrial Systems Industrial Refrigeration Systems are used in the refrigerated and freezer areas found in most food processing facilities. Examples shown below: o Cold Storage Warehouse o Dairy o Meat Processing Plants o Refrigerated Container ships o Fruit Packaging Plants o Beverage Production Facilities Ammonia Refrigeration Systems are the most prevalent (>60%) HCFC gases like R-22 also in use, HCFC gases are being phased out HCFC being replaced by HFC gases like R-507, increasing the need for polyolester lubricants

5 Commercial Freezers and Refrigerators in: o Supermarkets and food stores o Restaurants Typically sealed systems, lubricant added at at factory or at re-builder Lubricants can be sold either to compressor manufacturers/re-builder Market available for refrigerant leak detection dyes and leak stops R-22 phaseout forcing customers to move to HFC refrigerants, increasing demand for POE lubricants

6 Residential Household refrigerators & freezers R-22 still most prevalent Residential A/C systems Typically sealed systems, lubricant added at at factory or at re-builder Lubricants can be sold either to compressor manufacturers/re-builder Market available for refrigerant leak detection dyes and leak stops R-22 phaseout forcing customers to move to HFC refrigerants, increasing demand for POE lubricants

7 Auto A/C HFC Gases (R-134a) most prevalent POE (NXT-POE-AC) and PAG (NXT-PAG-AC) lubricants most prevalent Lubricants and additives can be sold to repair shops, distributors, and auto parts stores Large market for: o Leak stop additives o Leak detection dyes o Performance enhancers

14 Why Do Ammonia Systems Need a Special Lubricant Lubricant in an ammonia system should not leave the separator Lubricant that escapes into a the evaporator is considered a contaminant Lubricant will buildup in a refrigeration system reducing system efficiency

15 Benefits of NXT stage hydrocracked formulation Lower Oil Carryover Less fluid use Less fouling of the evaporator Longer fluid life Formulated for worst case scenarios Better cold temperature fluidity OEM Approved GEA Mycom Howden Bitzer

16 Benefits of NXT-717 Naphthenics vs 2-Stage Hydrocracked Petroleum bases are refined from two types of crude oil Both produced through the Solvent Extraction Refining Process Production continues to decrease Paraffinic Waxy or sweet crude Most common type of base oil in production Typically have a higher VI than Napthenics Poor pour points due to formation of wax molecule chains Napthenic Asphaltic or sour crude Venezuela is one of the largest sources, high restrictions Poor low temperature fluidity as a result of low VI Atmospheric & Vacuum Distillation Solvent Solvent Dewaxer Crude Oil Gas Oil Solvent Extraction Wax Conventional Base Oil (70-85% Pure.)

17 Benefits of NXT-717 Naphthenics vs 2-Stage Hydrocracked The 2-Stage Hydrocracking process utilizes high pressure hydrogen to break down most or all of the aromatic molecules apart reforming them into preferred chemical structures The 2-Stage Hydrocracking process also strips virtually all sulfur and nitrogen from the oil. This leads to a far more stable chemical structure. The end result is a fluid that is 99.9% pure. Some classify these fluids as semi-synthetics (or even synthetic) Atmospheric & Vacuum Distillation H 2 Atmospheric Distillation Vacuum Distillation Dewaxer H 2 Crude Oil Hydrocracker Wax High Pressure Heat Transfer Ultra Pure Base Oil (99.9% Pure.)

19 Benefits of NXT-717 Lower Carryover High-volatility fluids tend to vaporize. Because vaporized lubricant cannot separate from ammonia gas, carryover and oil loss result. 2-stage hydrocracked base fluids have very low volatility, reducing carryover and oil loss.

24 Benefits of NXT-717 Longer Fluid Life Darkening of oil is a sign of oxidation, which is likely due to water contamination. Used NXT-717 Used Naphthenic Fluid

25 Benefits of NXT-717 Longer Fluid Life Due to the high water content in some ammonia refrigeration systems, having a lubricant that offers excellent rust protection is essential. Many competitive fluids do not contain rust and corrosion protection.

43 HFC and HCFC Refrigeration Systems The primary function of an refrigeration lubricant is to lubricate the compressor Carryover (fluid loss) into the refrigeration system should be considered a contaminant It is important that any fluid that carries over into the refrigeration system returns back to the compressor Failure of the lubricant to return back to the compressor can cause warning alarms and even shutdowns due to low fluid level Lubricant trapped within the refrigeration system can also diminish thermal transfer efficiency as it has the tendency to settle in the cold parts of the system Typical HFCSystems

48 NXT-744-POE CO 2 refrigeration systems are being seen as a replacement for ammonia an potentially HFC refrigeration systems HFC is an global warming promoting gas and will soon be phased out, and ammonia is toxic CO 2 systems operate at extremely high pressures and typically require a refrigeration system just to keep the CO 2 sufficiently cooled Becoming more popular as it allows a facility to decrease their use of ammonia or HFC

49 NXT-744-POE POE is becoming a popular choice for CO2 refrigeration systems NXT-744-POE contains a strong anti-wear package which is necessary due to the high system pressures Specification NXT-744- POE-85 NXT-744- POE O C (cst) O C (cst) VI Flash Point O C Pour Point O C
