34 Summary Terryl is a renewable polymer with performance advantages: Terryl is the first large scale odd-even polyamide More open amide bonds increases dyability Odd/even structure improves moisture absorbance for better fabric feel Terryl is the first renewable polyamide to compete with PA66. Polyamide 5X offers new opportunities to the nylon market Cathay has supplied C11-C15 long chain diacids for over 10 years Cathay now offers pentane diamine monomer: renewable with lower melt point than HMDA

36 Talking Points Terryl is a nylon, similar to nylon 66, but is produced from 47% sustainable material. Terryl can be produced from any plant sugar or starch. At Cathay our first facility will use corn sugar. Cathay is working on biomass based sugar, using agriculture waste material, and plans a gradual conversion, as the technology develops. The timeline is still uncertain. 45% of the carbon in Terryl is from plant sources. This plant-based CO2 from the renewable feedstock has been removed from the atmosphere, not extracted from oil. Terryl is renewably based, but not biodegradable. The CO2 removed from the atmosphere will be locked up in Terryl for a long time in its use application, or when it is recycled. Finally, if Terryl is burnt, it would release 960 kilograms less oil-based CO2 per MT of nylon. Terryl is fully recyclable, like all polyamides. Terryl is a performance plastic, not a fuel. If all of the nylon in the world was Terryl and made only from corn then it would use 1.5% of the world s corn. By comparison, US ethanol for 10% of the US fuel uses 14% of the world s corn. Corn is not a stranger to industrial chemicals Many industrial products are made from corn starch. Most finished paper is coated with this starch. Terryl can and will also be made from sugar cane or industrial starch crops like cassava.
