1 Mastering acoustic insulation through Green Chemistry

2 CONTENT 1) Noise: a society issue 2) Business objectives 3) Competitive landscape 4) Traditional solutions 5) Home Eos solutions 6) Technology advantages 7) Business model 8) The company 9) Our vision our quest

3 The quest for quiet has become a society issue Observations Urban population will grow from 50% to 75% by 2050 Noise over 60 db = stress, illness (WHO) ssues Since 2010, EU Norms impose maximum noise levels, however Buildings not insulated Materials not adapted Existing solutions not Massive transport traffic increase effective The dramatic increase of noise impact on health calls for new solutions boosting acoustic performance

4 Home Eos Quest Provide the market with innovative solutions meeting the highest acoustic performance Based on renewable natural material accessible through local and circular economy Presenting a low carbon footprint and exempt from health or environmental impact Recyclable and/or biodegradable Fire resistant Exempt from chemicals under scrutiny by regulators and society Offering Flexible alternative and to adaptable fossil carbon solutions based products to three main Easy to markets produce with low water and energy requirements Buildings new and renovated ndustry Transport

5 Criteria HOME-EOS Membranes Rubber Membranes Plasterboard Gypsum Performance (3 boards) The competitive landscape Market leaders provide products not achieving acoustic performance (thermal insulation) or based on obsolete technologies (bitumen or rubbers) Mineral Wol Vegetable Wol Thiness Flexibility Dust Renewable Recyclable Low energy Fire resistance

6 Solutions based on Mass law : the heaviest and the thickest, the better - Excess use of raw materials - Thick and heavy partitions (walls, ceilings, floors) - Excess of transport and handling energy and emissions Traditional methods Principle: reduces noise transmission using mass - Effective in high and medium frequency ranges. - neffective in low frequency (bass) - neffective in absorbing vibrations Bricks, stones, concrete or bitumen, lead, PVC, EPDM or PU membranes Not renewable, not biodegradable, loaded with high energy content Produced from fossil or mineral material with high direct and indirect CO2 content

7 A dedicated thin, microcellular acoustic barrier Providing a superior acoustic comfort by dissipation of the sound energy and the absorption of vibrations Home Eos solution A mass loaded viscoelastic polymer (resilient) Effective at all frequencies and offering superior performance in low frequencies (bass) Made of a renewable and recyclable biopolymer with a low carbon footprint based on natural organic raw materials A unique innovation to provide an effective acoustic insulation

8 Advantages - Mass loaded viscoelastic membrane - High performance at all frequencies - Dissipation of noise energy - Absorption of vibrations - Decoupling like silent-block - Natural fire resistance - Without flame retardant - No fume, no melt - Easy to cut -Flexible to fit all configurations - Reduced mounting time - Thin (3-5 mm) - Light - Saves living surface and volume - Allow light structures - Renewable and natural - Recyclable products - Biodégradable - Odorless - No release of fibres or dust - Healthy through the life cycle - Biopolymer based on organic compounds - Low carbon footprint - Alternative to bitumen, PVC, EPDM or PU - No COV - No Plasticizers - Without solvents - Made in Belgium - Circular economy - Savings
