  1. NYCO Synthetic aviation & industrial lubricants

  2. 100% independent French privately-owned company Head office in Paris Total staff : 130 45 M € turnover with 85% export in more than 70 countries Two business lines: Aviation and Military (70% turnover) Automotive and Industry (30% turnover) Who is NYCO ?

  3. NYCO business lines Automotive & Industry • Full range of synthetic esters sold to the lubricants producers • Formulated lubricants (ester- based) developed for lubricants producers Aviation & Military • Formulated lubricants sold in the military segment • Full range of military approved lubricants (US, UK, France, Russia) • Fully formulated lubricants sold to the civil aviation & aerospace OEMs

  4. Full integration and independence in: - R & D (product development) - Production of basestocks & finished oils - Packaging, Quality Control - Sales to end-users through a network of JV, affiliates or distributors Continued invesment in R&D and strong OEM liaison (Engine & airframe manufacturers) NYCO Strategy

  5. 1959: NYCO enters the synthetic lubricant market Development of TURBONYCOIL® 13B for French Air Force “Mirage” fighter NYCO Company outline SNECMA ATAR engine (total loss lubrication system)

  6. 1960-1975: Extension of aviation lubricants portfolio (hydraulic fluids, greases, etc…) 1975-1980: Development of turbine oils for Russian made aircraft (Tupolev, Antonov, Yakovlev,…) 1979: Approval of TURBONYCOIL® 160 by U.S. Air Force (MIL-PRF-7808 Gr. 3) 1985: Approval of TURBONYCOIL® 600 by U.S. Navy (MIL-PRF-23699 Gr. STD) NYCO Company outline OIL FOR COMMERCIAL JETS

  7. 1997: New ester manufacturing & blending plant in Tournai, Belgium NYCO Production facility

  8. R&D and Quality Control • Staff of 20 chemists in R&D and QC ( 15% of workforce) • QC milestones during production / after production andafter packaging • ISO 9001 • ISO 14001

  9. NYCO WORLDWIDE: sales in 70 countries  Production plants Tournai, Belgium  Delhi, India  Subsidiaries /JV: USA, Germany, India, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Italy

  10. Military Forces (Air Forces) - largest Nyco business & most global - 30 % market share outside US - 80 % market share in EU Aerospace OEMsAirbus, Eurocopter, Dassault, Snecma,Turbomeca, BF Goodrich, Honeywell, General Dynamics,…): NYCO Aviation Customers

  11. Operators of aero-derivative gas turbines (Rolls-Royce, GE) :- power generation- oil & gas sector: gas pipelines, off-shore platforms Exclusive Distribution/Rebrand agreements with major oil companies: TOTAL, CHEVRON-CALTEX, AGIP, CONOCO, STATOIL 12 million hours logged with TURBONYCOIL®600 in such applications NYCO Aviation customers

  12. Sales of hydraulic fluids, greases, corrosion-preventives & other specialty lubes to ca 40 airlines: Air France, Lufthansa, Alitalia, South African Airways, Aeroflot,… plus many unknown through global distributors (Interturbine GmbH, Aviall) Sales of turbine engine oils to airlines operating Russian aircraft (Tupolev 154, Yak-42,etc…)... now declining Almost NO sales of jet oil for Airbus/Boeing aircraft to date Airlines

  13. Development of turbine oil to MIL-PRF-23699 (specification relevant to commercial aircraft) started in 1980. As TCP was listed in Table N°34 of occupational disease published by French Ministry of Health, Nyco ran a thorough search for alternative anti-wear additive and selected TIPP (tri-isopropyl phenyl phosphate CAS # 68937-41-7) Formulation includes 2.3% TIPP, without reduced performance of turbine oil as shown by laboratory testing and field data Commercial jet oil status

  14. Manufactured by propylene addition on phenol followed by phosphorylation Manufacturing process ensures complete absence of any of the TCP isomers (no detectable amount) None of the Nyco-developped turbine oil contain TCP, whilst ALL competitor oils contain TCP in amount varying from 1% to 3% (ExxonMobil, Air BP, Shell Aviation) TIPP

  15. No anticholinesterase activity on hens(single dose, 2000 mg/kg, by ingestion) Ref: CIBA GEIGY report (1984) Further toxicological testing using inhalation mode need to be done TIPP

  16. « TURBONYCOIL ® 600 » approved to MIL-PRF-23699 Class STD in 1985 (5 cSt) Straight equivalent to: - Mobil Jet Oil II - BP Turbo Oil 2380 Known by GE, Rolls-Royce, Pratt & Whiney, SNECMA based on experience accumulated inmilitary & ground gas turbine duty (ca 25 million h) Acknowledged as good performer amongst STD oils, at least as good as Mobil Jet Oil II Commercial jet oil status

  17. Duopoly of ExxonMobil and Air BP and strong resistance to change of airlines powerplant engineers has prevented Nyco’s entry at airlines Consequence : some key OEM validations missing for Turbonycoil 600 to be used across the fleet of major airlines today. Current OEM validations enable Turbonycoil 600 to be used on about 60% of the world-wide aircraft fleet (90% of narrow-body fleet) Turbonycoil 600 in civil aviation

  18. Turbonycoil 600 suitability for airlines MAIN AIRCRAFT CLEARED TO USE TURBONYCOIL 600 (Engines, APUs): Boeing 737 all models except -200 Airbus 319 / 320/ 321 all models Airbus 340 -200/300 Boeing 757 (RR RB211 powered) + Embraer 135/145, MD-90, Boeing 717, almost all helicopters 3 key engine validations (CF6-80, GE90, Trent) missing to cover>90% international airlines fleet (B747, B777, B767, A330, MD-11,DC-10)

  19. Oils are approved for an engine, not an aircraft Engine OEMs approve oils only upon airline request Main step of approval process is field evaluation on a limited number of aircraft of the airline (3 to 5,000 flight hours + engine teardown) Oil approval NO COST to the airline, can be completed within 18-24 months Oil Approval process

  20. Because there is no $$ to be spent by airlines, engine makers or aircraft makers, « Precautionary Principle »should apply without limit (without endorsment from airlines/aircraft makers of any potential liability for crew poisonning)

  21. Making « Turbonycoil 600 » airworthy on older (out of production engines) much more difficult because of engine makers reluctance to do any engineering work on engines not making today’s revenue: Issue for the most critical aircraft in terms of cabin air quality: BAe 146 (LF 502/507 engine)MD-80 (JT8D-200 series) Strong support will be needed to get OEMs moving Turbonycoil 600 for critical aircraft

  22. More convincing data on tox profile of turbine oil containing TIPP need to be obtained. NYCO is seeking advice on which tox testing needs to be done on Turbonycoil 600 comparative to other oils Target completion date: Sept. 2007 Future

  23. REMARKS ONOIL FORMULATION& BEHAVIOUR(THOUGHTS FROM YESTERDAY’S DISCUSSIONS)

  24. EFFICIENCY OF PROPOSED AIR FILTRATION MEASURES ? (e.g. physical removal of particles vs absorption/chemical destruction)Reason: TCP is much more volatile than oil basestock and may exist as vapour in a significant proportion5% boiling point atmospheric pressure ASTM D1160: TCP: 280°C ! Base stock (95%): 460°C
