  1. EcoWire™ Better Performance, Better for the Environment

  2. EcoWire™ • New alternative hook-up wire insulation to PVC-based insulation • Non-halogenic and fully recyclable • Lighter and thinner than PVC • Stronger and more durable than PVC Confidential: Unauthorized Use Prohibited

  3. EcoWire™ vs. PVC • PVC’s halogen content releases toxic gases and fluids into the environment when burned • Many legislative bodies (such as the EU) are attempting to eventually phase out PVC-based plastics • Halogens, under normal circumstances, are very stable and present no danger • PVC-based hook-up wire is cost-effective and widely available Confidential: Unauthorized Use Prohibited

  4. EcoWire™ vs. PVC • Newer materials, principally low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) plastics, do not emit dangerous gases or smokes when burned • The drawback to LSZH is that it cannot be conveniently recycled and reused • Like PVC, LSZH will not safely decompose in a landfill • EcoWire’s patented Noryl® insulation contains no halogens and can be fully recycled *Noryl® is a registered trademark of Sabic Innovative Plastics Confidential: Unauthorized Use Prohibited

  5. EcoWire™ vs. PVC • Minimized environmental impact • EcoWire contains no halogens, phthalates, or heavy metals and meets RoHS and WEEE requirements • Better dielectric strength • EcoWire has reduced wall thickness while maintaining the same electrical properties as PVC Up to 45% smaller diameter! Confidential: Unauthorized Use Prohibited

  6. EcoWire™ vs. PVC • Low specific gravity. • The 1.03 specific gravity of EcoWire means it weighs 25% to 40% less than other insulation materials such as PVC, polyethylene, and cross-linked polyethylene • Flame resistance • Meets UL VW-1 • Wide temperature range • Meets UL 1581 requirements for operation at 80°C and 105°C • Durability • EcoWire offers 10x better abrasion and pinch resistance than PVC • Recyclable • EcoWire’s insulation is thermoplastic and more easily recycled as it does not contain the aforementioned hazardous materials Confidential: Unauthorized Use Prohibited

  7. EcoWire™ Specifications Confidential: Unauthorized Use Prohibited

  8. Current Applications • Cell phone chargers • AC Power cords • Delphi automotive components • Vehicle Harnesses • Personal Computers (PCs) Confidential: Unauthorized Use Prohibited
