  5. Opportunity Status: Polypropylene • Nanoparticle Product History • Produce, market and sell several .07 micron products • Calofort S: Lifford, UK • developed in the mid- 1950’s for rubber industry • UltraPflex: Adams, MA • developed in the late 1970’s for sealant industry • Approximately 77 million pounds per year

  6. Opportunity Status: Polypropylene • Business Goal • Market Opportunity • Value Creation • Threats to Commercialization

  7. Goal: Disrupt Current PolymerImpact-Stiffness Balance PP

  8. 2005 Global Polypropylene Market:(billions of pounds)

  9. Target Market Segments: RPP • Improve performance of reinforced polypropylene (RPP) • incumbents are glass fiber, talc, rubber • Applications: • Automotive parts • 35 lbs.. RPP per car x 55 million builds per year • 1.9 billion pounds of RPP per year • Appliances • 976 million pounds of RPP per year

  10. Market Opportunity for Nanoparticles • RPP: • Auto • 1.9 billion pounds RPP consumed per year • @7% Loading • Potential: 133 million pounds • Appliance • Potential: 68 million pounds • Total Durable Plastics: 201 million pounds

  11. Value Propositions • Improve RPP with Nanoparticles • Replace higher priced engineering resins • Polycarbonate @ $1.55/lb. • ABS & ABS alloys @ $.95 to $1.70/lb • TPO formulations

  12. Polymer Value PP

  13. Nanoparticle Pricing: RPP • Nano Price • $1.25/lb. • Value Analysis

  14. Nanoparticle Pricing: RPP • Nano Price with 10% downguaging • $2.25/lb. • Value Analysis

  15. Potential Threats to Success • Technical • Dispersion • Market Demand • Lower weight parts for auto • Competition • finer talc (<0.5u) with aspect ratio • Cost: Performance Ratio

  16. Summary • Durable goods are a large global opportunity for nanoparticles • 200 million pound per year @ $1.25- $2.25 per pound = $250 million to $450 million • Competition is plentiful • Performance: cost ratio is critical
