4 Silicone Elastomers can be Divided into Five Product Groups Silicone Elastomers High Temperature Curing Room Temperature Curing High Consistency Rubber (HTV) Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) 2-Component (RTV-2) 1-Component (RTV-1) Rubber part production by extrusion or molding Process chemicals for bonding, sealing, coating & potting Peter Summo, Engineering Silicones, June 28, of 14

5 The Market for Silicone Elastomers High Temperature Curing Silicones have Largest Share, but LSR and RTV Silicone Rubber Shows Strong Growth Potential World Market 2015* Silicone Rubber Other HTV*** Silicone Rubber RTV** Silicone Rubber Silicone Rubber Market 2015* ~770,000 mt Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) In the past, silicone elastomer market has shown solid growth (over 5 % p.a.) * Source: WACKER estimates ** RTV = room temperature curing *** HTV = high consistency rubber Peter Summo, Engineering Silicones, June 28, of 14

6 Silicone Elastomers Offer Unique Properties Compared to Organic Materials Low thermal stress - Gels Electronics Skin friendly RTV 2 Wound Care & Orthopedics Self Bonding - LSR Automotive Damping - HTV Automotive Optically clear - RTV-2 Lighting Electrically insulating - all Auto, Energy Electronics Radiation & weather resistant Stable at high & low temperatures Media & heat resistant Flame retardant Dielectrical & insulating properties Flexible and resilient Water repellent Gas permeable Transparent Additional features: long service life, biocompatible, any color Peter Summo, Engineering Silicones, June 28, of 14

7 Key Processing Technologies and Industry Applications for... RTV-2* Silicone Elastomers and Silicone Resins Sealing, Coating, Potting and Bonding, i.e. via Dispensing Lighting Electronics General Industry Wound Care & Orthopedics LED Primary Optics & Housing LED Secondary Optics, Luminaires Automotive Electronics, Power Electronics, Sensor Technology, Optical Bonding Renewable Energy, Rail-, Sea-, Air-, Space- Transportation, Appliances Wound dressings / Orthopedics ** RTV-2 = two-component room temperature vulcanizing rubber Peter Summo, Engineering Silicones, June 28, of 14

8 Key Processing Technologies and Industry Applications for... HCR* and LSR** Silicone Elastomers Pressmolding, Injection Molding, Extrusion and Coating Health Care Automotive Silicone Rubber Energy Silicone elastomers for the fabrication of rubber parts, for example medical tubing, seals and gaskets, masks or valves Fabrication of rubber parts or textile coatings for automotive applications and the transportation industry Rubber parts for various applications, for example household, sports, fashion, construction or machinery Silicone elastomers for the transmission & distribution of energy and for cable applications * HCR = high consistency rubber ** LSR = liquid silicone rubber Peter Summo, Engineering Silicones, June 28, of 14

9 Automotive Megatrends Push Material Selection towards Silicone Elastomers Downsizing Digitalization Safety & Comfort Downsizing Organic replacement due to more challenging requirements (temperature, media) Improved heat resistance needed Reduced weight per part (shorter turbocharger hoses) High precision parts (LSR, 2-component molding) Regulations Euro 6 standard (2015) Electrification Simplification of assembling requires self-adhesiveness Increasing requirements for electromagnetic field shielding and mechanical damping require higher degree of product customization Self-driving cars: protection of electronic devices such as collision avoidance systems are feasible with silicones Electric mobility: alternative drive systems require silicone rubber Vibration control Additional vibration damping required Automotive Lighting Smart lighting solutions Automotive Electronics Cockpit displays Micro-electromechanical microphones (MEMS) Quality 0 ppm strategy of OEMs Maximum degree of automation Peter Summo, Engineering Silicones, June 28, of 14
