What is HM 4100?Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane Quaternary Ammonium Salt “Poly Quat”EPA Reg. No 83019-1 Liquid Antimicrobial Dry Polymeric AntimicrobialWater Solution HM 4100 Monomer Polymer Polymer In methanol Solvent free Water or alcohol solvent Surface applications Heat Stable Used in prepolymer systems Solid Surface applications HM 4072 HM 4100 HM 4001 (5)
SUMMARY Patented platform technology (US 6,572,926, 6,146,688, 7,858,141, and 7,858,653. that enables poly octadecyl aminodimethyltrihydroxysilyl propyl ammonium chloride to be incorporated into various materials producing permanent bacterial protection of the material. Applications include: Plastics for Packaging, Thin Films, Foams, Activated Carbon, Consumer, Medical, Healthcare, Department of Defense, Homeland Defense and First Response, master batch resins for above applications in addition to building construction materials, industrial surfaces. The polymeric antimicrobial technology is a highly effective, permanently bound antimicrobial providing protection from gram positive and gram negative bacteria, fungus, mold, algae, spores and viruses. EPA label Approval June 1, 2007. Food contact approval in progress. FDA listed as a modifier to medical devices, 510(k)-able

Other Antimicrobials • BIOSAFE • Thermally stable, safe and non-toxic, superior efficacy, excellent color and clarity, competitively priced • Traditional plastic preservatives Arsenides and other heavy metal compounds • Triclosan (Microban) Structurally similar to Dioxin and unstable when exposed to heat or UV light. Drug resistance identified by CDC • Silver Ion (Agion) Silver changes product color, not fast acting, environmental concerns over heavy metals, is very expensive
TEST METHODS • ASTM E 2149 • Standard Test Method for Determining the Antimicrobial Activity of Immobilized Antimicrobial Agents under Dynamic Conditions • “Shake test” – test articles are cut to size and placed in a volume of inoculum containing phosphate buffer and a known concentration of bacteria (E. coli, S. aureus, etc.) • JIS Z 2801:2000 • Antimicrobial Products – Test for Antimicrobial Activity and Efficacy • “Cover test” – test articles are placed in a Petri dish where the surface is inoculated and covered with a glass coverslip • -after the test duration, samples are washed in buffer, then serially diluted and plated to obtain colony counts

Aquaculture • Excellent performance against Algae
HM 4001 Custom Blend Coating • Netbook for international market • Coating is effective even after abrasion
BIOSAFE kills bacteria on contact Product containing BIOSAFE launched, initially for markets outside the U.S. Clinical trial completed for PVC catheter. Medical Products
Pathogen Testing on Face Masks Seasonal flu Avian flu (H5N1) Tuberculosis Francisella tularensis
Plastic Materials • PE sheet • Bathroom Partitions • Medical Wall coverings • Indirect food contact surfaces • Working on food contact label to expand application to cutting boards and food packaging
E. coli S. aureus • BIOSAFE provides antimicrobial protection for products in consumer, military, construction, healthcare, water storage, filtration and management, food handling and storage, and general health and hygiene markets. • We provide long lasting protection against bacteria, mold, mildew, algae, yeast, and even certain viruses, without promoting the emergence of microbes that are drug resistant. • BIOSAFE technology can be compounded in plastics or applied through a surface treatment including proprietary paint systems. MRSA A. niger (fungus) HIV (virus)
Benefits Non- leaching, permanent antimicrobial protection. Proven to be nontoxic - free of carcinogens, mutagens or reproductive toxins. Kills instantly by disrupting the cell membrane, eliminating any possibility of mutation, adaptation or resistance. Broad kill range. Environmentally friendly (Green) -EPA approved; FDA and NSF listed. The technology can be used on wide range of materials. Low cost. Excellent optical properties for clear applications.
