1 2018 Big Events for Rigid PU Foam Value Chain 1. In July, Dow Polyurethanes world-class system materials plant in Zhangjiagang was put into operation. With an expected annual capacity of 120,000 tons, the plant mainly produces system materials for rigid PU foam (hereinafter referred to as system materials). 2. In August, the joint venture between Japan s Mitsui Chemicals and South Korea s MCNS, held an opening ceremony for its polyurethanes systems house in SriCity. The house has an annual capacity of 15,000 tons. 3. In April, Huntsman completed of the acquisition of Demilec, a leading manufacturer of polyurethane spray foam insulation in North America. With an annual revenue of about $170 million, Demilec has two facilities, which are located in Arlington, Texas and Boisbriand, Quebec. The manufacturer can produce a full range of system materials for MDI-based polyurethane spray foam. 4. In July, Jiangsu Yoke Technology signed the strategic cooperation agreement on LNG industry with Hudong Zhonghua Shipbuilding (Group). Siyang International, a subsidiary of Jiangsu Yoke Technology, signed the RMB104 million-worth of contract for the sale of PU insulation boards with Hudong Zhonghua Shipbuilding (Group). The Company has made continuous breakthroughs in LNG insulation. In 2016, the enhanced polyurethane foam developed by the Company, which can be used in the insulation boards for the MARK (III/Flex) LNG carrier, was certified by France s GTT. In 2016 and 2017, it signed strategic cooperation agreement with and received orders from the shipbuilders of LNG carrier. In 2018, its insulation boards used in the liquid cargo containment system for NO96-L-03+ LNG carrier was again certified by GTT. 5. According to the government statistics, from January to September, a total of million refrigerators were produced in China, falling by 19% year on year. In the first half, exports remained the major driver of growth in the refrigerator industry. The volume of refrigerator exports totalled million units, up 17.2% from a year earlier. Meanwhile, million units were sold at home, down 7.7%. 1

2 Interpretation by PUdaily: With the rapid development of China's PU market, more and more manufacturers pay attention to end-use areas. The production and consumption of rigid system materials, an important raw material for rigid PU foam, are closely connected with the development of various downstream industries. Previously, the application of polyurethane products in the building sector was restricted due to the stricter government requirements for building fire protection rating. As a result, the downstream spray coating sector was heavily hit. Now, are there more opportunities or obstructions as the policy will be revised? The rising fresh food industry is growing at an annual rate of over 50%. Is the future of cold chain industry promising? How will it boost the sector of system materials for rigid PU foam? For more details, please read the 2018 China s System Materials for Rigid PU Foam Market Yearly Report provided by Suntower Consulting! Next, Suntower Consulting will present you the highlights of the report. Additional Highlights for Government regulations and policies on the production and application of system materials are added to the 2018 report. 2. Evaluation of rigid system materials yearly growth is added. 3. Enhanced forecast of the development of downstream sectors.
