2 MAINTENANCE ISSUES FOR ROTARY KILNS KILN TIRE SYSTEM: REQUIRES ACCURATE ALIGNMENT OF SHELL AND TIRE. Tire Bore (Inside Diameter): As the Kiln Shell rotates inside the tire, there are rolling and sliding frictions on the mating surfaces of the Chair Pads and the inside diameter (ID) of the Kiln Tire. EASY BAR LUBRICATION IS CRITICAL TO MINIMIZE ANY SCORING OR GOUGING OF THE TIRE BORE. Wear Pads: When too much wear pad wear has taken place, the shell alignment and support system is compromised. The steel shell will flatten at the top of the rotation resulting in ovality. As this condition continues the results may become catastrophic, resulting in damage or loss of the insulating refractory inside the kiln shell. This will result in hot spots on the shell, prompting Kiln shut down with loss of production and costly repair. EASY BAR LUBRICATION IS CRITICAL TO MINIMIZE THE WEAR OF THE WEAR PADS. Stop Blocks: Stop Blocks limit the movement of the tire as it travels back and forth on the trunnion rollers. As the tire rubs against the stop blocks wear occurs. A tire that is thrusting against the stop blocks will wear and cause damage. Without attention, the stop blocks will break and/or require replacing. EASY BAR LUBRICATION IS CRITICAL TO MINIMIZE THE WEAR OF THE STOP BLOCKS. Weld Fractures: Weld Fractures occur due to friction of the tire I.D and the surface of the chair pads. Wear Fractures are detrimental to the chair pad system and will need to be repaired. Lubricants with poor lubricating qualities will not protect against weld fractures. EASY BAR LUBRICATION IS CRITICAL TO MINIMIZE WELD FRACTURES. Creep: Creep is the difference in distance travelled between the shell and the tire. Creep increases as wear occurs. Creep of greater than 25mm require immediate attention. EASY BAR LUBRICATION IS CRITICAL TO MAINTAIN CREEP AND MINIMIZE CHANGES OR VARIATIONS. THIS EQUIPMENT DEMANDS A LUBRICANT THAT (1) FUNCTIONS AT TEMPERATURES GREATER THAN 750 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT (2) DELIVERS THE OPTIMUM AMOUNT OF WEAR REDUCING SOLIDS (3) LEAVES NO TACKY RESIDUE BEHIND AND (4) IS 100% LUBRICANT COMPOSITION (NO FILLERS. NO WAX. NO WASTE). EASY BAR IS THE ONLY LUBRICANT BAR THAT MEETS THESE REQUIREMENTS WHILE PROLONGING THE LIFE OF THESE KILN COMPONENTS!

3 EASY BAR Rotary Kiln Tire Bore Lubricant Perfect for Cement, Lime, Pulp & Paper, Mineral and Chemical Industries Easy Bar is utilized by all major kiln manufacturers including Andritz, Metso, Polysius, Humbolt Wedag, Fuller FLSmidth Easy Bar is a patented formula of premium grade lubricants encased within a solid organic carrying agent. When placed between the tire and the kiln shell, the carrying agent melts and releases the lubricants. The rotation of the kiln distributes the lubricants over the filler bars and inside the tire bore. 100% Lubricant Composition: Every ounce of Easy Bar is utilized for maximum lubrication. No fillers. No waxes. No waste. Extend Kiln Life by 50%. Protects the kiln and stop blocks while eliminating breakage of filler bar welds. Save Money on Maintenance! Reduces the wear that results from scoring of the inside bore of riding ring. No Flame Ups! Auto-ignition point +1000F and 538C. Highest Quality for Fewer Applications: Highest graphite content of any other tire bore lubricant. Environmentally Safe! Easy Bar completely evaporates leaving no sticky residue, no waste and no harmful chemicals traces. Quick and Simple! No mixing or preparation time needed. Easy To Apply! Easy Bar installs in one kiln revolution which increases employee productivity while reducing their exposure to hazardous environments. Over 15 Years of Proven Field-Performance! Make sure your lube bars say Easy Bar Kiln Tire Lube to ensure optimal performance.

4 EASY BAR Crescent KTL 100 Rotary Kiln Lubricant PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Crescent KTL-100 Rotary Kiln Lube consists of a special high auto-ignition point synthetic thickener with organic and metallic solid film-forming components. Crescent KTL-100 Rotary Kiln Lube deposits its solid film forming components into the surface of the filler bars and ring bore to assure maximum protection from cold welding or galling in an easy to apply form for this severe high temperature application. APPLICATIONS: This product is specifically designed for application on the Stop Block, Riding Ring and Filler Bars of Horizontal Calciners, Rotary Kilns and Dryers. Crescent KTL-100 is easily inserted between the filler bars where it melts and releases the high temperature solid lubricants. The product's high solids content fills the surface imperfections resulting in a smoother bore surface, lower friction and less wear. The improved lubrication between filler bars and riding rings reduces weld fractures at filler bars and kiln shell interface, contributing to extend shell and refractory service.

5 Easy Bar Testimonials Titan - Maintenance Manager "Your product has perfect fit, it is much more resistant to heat and fire than the previous product that they were using, and does a really good job (as it seems from Monday that they first applied it). Moreover, it has a nice and well-shaped appearance and doesn't leave dirt on hands as the previous one. Generally, the quality of the product is obvious in many ways and very satisfying in its lubrication cause." Lafarge North America - Improvement Engineer "This is an excellent opportunity to see the bars in action. I will work to see if we can have these entered into the budget for 2010 for a couple of tires on each kiln. With the prospect of building a new kiln in a couple years we are VERY interested in using correct lubrication for the new installation and building the habit and culture of not using kerosene as a mixing agent (current practice). We are very impressed with the product and were able to use it on all piers. (Many of our piers have different pad / retaining ring configurations)." R&D Manager at ZMP Industry Machine Engineering "I can recommend this product with confidence. This is an indispensable tool for modern maintenance of the rotary kilns. Safe and easy to use, if you want to extend life of your kiln's tyres try it." Managing Partner - Mareche Distribucion, S.L. "Easy Bar is the best melting bar available in the market. Easy Bar has changed the way Rotary Kilns Tyres are lubricated. The highest performance: safe, quick, environmentally safe, and simple to help reduce maintenance cost." Graymont Lime Engineer "I received the lube bars this morning and have placed them in our #4 kiln. At first glance, they appear to be a good quality product and I was glad to see they didn t flame up on our firing end of the kiln. I think this is something that will work very well in our application." Carbo Ceramics Engineer "They have allowed our kiln and coolers to float freely on the tires which is a great improvement due to the fact that the tires were binding on axial float in the past, likewise, I haven t witnessed an acceleration in radial creep" CEMEX Plant Engineer "We've had a good experience with the Easy Bars. Our oiler likes them since they are easy to carry and place in the kiln tire."

6 EASY BAR vs. OTHER METHODS Easy Bar Melting Lube Bars Water + Graphite Spray Percent (%) Lubricant Composition 100% 10-15% 1-5% Graphite Composition 30-35% 1-9% 1-5% Mixing / Prep Time Required NONE NONE YES Auto-Ignition Point Blow-Back Hazard or Fire Hazard Tacky or Sticky Residue After Application degrees F Celsius ~ degrees F ~ Celsius ~500 degrees F ~ 260 Celsius NONE YES YES NONE YES YES Applications per Week One Multiple Every Other Day Time Required per Application per Tire < 1 Minute >2+ Minutes Minutes Bars Needed per Week (avg) 2 to 4 8 to 16 NA Disadvantages of other melting lube bars: Wax and Non-Lubricant Binders: Unlike Easy Bar which is 100% lubricant, other melting lube bars consist of 40-60% wax and non-lubricants. These components create a tacky grease which will: o Build up a sticky residue on the tires. o Collect dirt and debris which will cause additional wear. Low Auto-Ignition Point Flame-Ups Other melting lube bars have a much lower auto-ignition point, unlike Easy Bar whose auto-ignition point is above 1000F or 536C Other lube bars from time to time auto-ignite which is an enormous safety hazard for workers and is detrimental to the tire and wear pads.
