4 WHY V- ZICLUS GP COULD BE A GOOD GP PLASITICISER? TECHNICALLY SUITABLE EASY TO USE IN A WIDE RANGE OF PVC TRANSFORMATION PROCESSES. GOOD PERFORMANCE FOR A WIDE RANGE OF END USES. ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE REASONABLE PRICE THAT KEEP PLASTICISED PVC COMPETITIVE. PHTALATES FREE PLASTICISERS PORTFOLIO G P HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY ENOUGH INFORMATION ABOUT ITS TOXICITY, ECOTOXICITY, RISKS. AVAILABILITY ENOUGH RAW MATERIAL AND MANUFACTURING CAPACITY TO SUPPLY GP PLASTICISER MARKET.

6 ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE: Reducing formula(on costs ESTIMATED COST REDUCTION USING V- ZICLUS AS GP PLASTICISER BASE FORMULA: 40 PHR 80 PHR PVC K70 [PHR] BHC [PHR] DINP X V- ZICLUS GP PLASTICIZER [PHR] STABILIZER [PHR] % VZ 70% DINP 50% VZ 50% DINP 70% VZ 30% DINP 100% VZ 0% DINP NOTES: 1. V- ZICLUS GP EFFICIENCY IS SIMILAR TO DINP SO NO USUAL ADJUSTMENT IS USUALLY REQUIERED. V- ZICLUS GP IS APROX 2% MORE EFFICIENT THAN 1,2- cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid diisononyl ester (H2- DINP). 2. COST ARE ESTIMATED USING OWN MARKET DATA FROM JUN/10 TO JUN/11. RESULTS: USING V- ZICLUS GP INSTEAD OF DINP COST REDUCTION COULD BE FROM 3 TO 10%. USING V- ZICLUS GP INSTEAD OF H2- DINP COST REDUCTION COULD BE FROM 5 TO 16%. 30% VZ 70% H2- DINP 50% VZ 50% H2- DINP 70% VZ 30% H2- DINP 100% VZ 0% H2- DINP H2 DINP X V- ZICLUS GP H2- DINP: DiIsoNonyl CycloHexane

8 AVAILABILITY: Soybean Oil, a more sustainable op(on SOYBEAN OIL LONG- TERM TRADE PROJECTIONS FOR A RENEWABLE FEEDSTOCK ARGENTINA EXPORTED 4100 kmt OF SOYBEAN OIL IN 2012 AND ARE FORECASTED 5000 kmt FOR 2015 AND 5200 kmt FOR ARGENTINA IS THE THIRD MAJOR WORLD SOYBEAN OIL MANUFACTURER AND THE FIRST EXPORTER. SOYBEAN OIL COULD BE CONSIDERED AS A BY- PRODUCT OF SOYBEAN MEAL (PROTEIN) USED IN LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION SO IT WILL NOT NECESSARY COMPETE WITH FOOD. SOYBEAN OIL IS A RENEWABLE FEEDSTOCK SO SUSTAINABILITY IS IMPROVED WHEN IT IS USED INSTEAD OF A FOSSIL BASED FEEDSTOCK. VARTECO HAS MT/YR CAPACITY THAT COULD BE EXPANDED UP TO MT/YR IN A YEAR. VARTECO HAS AN APPROXIMATED TURNAROUND OF 80 MUSD/YR AND IS THE MAIN PLASTICIZERS MANUFACTURER IN ARGENTINA.
