2 COMPOSITE MATERIALS Carmelo Lo Faro Composite Materials, President 2

3 COMPOSITE MATERIALS AT A GLANCE COMPOSITE MATERIALS 1.04 bn Net sales 2017 ~ 2,800 Headcount 19 Industrial sites Military and space Fighter jets Civil aircraft Large commercial transport 61 % 26 % Transports Rotorcraft Unmanned vehicles Launch vehicles Business jets Regional jets Rotorcraft 13 % Industrial High-performance cars / Motorsport Oil and gas % of 2017 Net Sales Wind energy 3

4 COMPOSITE MATERIALS GLOBAL FOOTPRINT Keighley, UK Heanor, UK Wrexham, UK Manchester, UK Winona, MN Wilton, UK Alpharetta, HQ Tulsa, OK Havre de Grace, MD Derby, UK Östringen, Germany Fengxian, CH Rock Hill, NC Mondovi, Italy Greenville, SC Los Angeles, CA Santa Fe Springs, CA Heanor (Derby) Toulouse, France Anaheim, CA Greenville, TX Operations Regional Sales Office Research & Development 4

5 TO GROW FURTHER, COMPOSITES MUST DELIVER MORE VALUE Beyond lightweighting, composites bring additional benefits: Aerodynamics Fatigue life Corrosion resistance Design freedom Part integration Function integration Increased passenger comfort CHALLENGES FOR THE FUTURE MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGIES JOINING SIMULATION 5

6 HOW ARE COMPOSITE MATERIALS AND PARTS MADE Carbon Fiber Formulated Resin Composite Material + = Carbon Fiber Raw Materials Carbon Fiber Composite Materials Plant Fabrication (Tier 1) Aircraft OEM Formulated Resin Raw Materials Formulated Resin Structural Adhesives (Tier 2) (Tier 3) Solvay s high-value positions Application Engineering Composite Part (Wing) Finished Wing 6

7 AIRCRAFT FUNDAMENTALS SUPPORT HIGHER GROWTH IN COMPOSITES 4.5 % Growth in passenger traffic >8,000 Record high order backlog 50 % Weight of composites on new aircrafts vs.<15% on legacy PRIMARY STRUCTURES SURFACE COATINGS BONDING & MULTIFUNCTIONALITY SECONDARY STRUCTURES ENGINES INTERIORS & GALLEYS 7

8 Cost OUR STRATEGY: BECOME A LEADER IN THE INDUSTRIALIZATION OF COMPOSITES 777 and A320 Empennage Boeing 787 Airbus A350 Innovations under development Industrial scale and economics Value creation MORE value creation Entry into transport Military aircraft Start of some civil aircraft Current applications Adoption on wing/fuselage Cost advantage with scale and vertical integration New Single Aisle Aircraft Serial Auto 1970 ARTISANAL INDUSTRIALIZATION 8

9 Resin Infusion Technology Leader BOMBARDIER C-SERIES IRKUT MC-21 LEADERSHIP POSITION IN TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE AERO INDUSTRY Wing: High Potlife Resin & Non Crimp Fabric Wing: toughened resin and dry tape for AFP VBO prepreg technology CMF LEAP Fan Blade: toughened resin and 3D woven preform DARPA DISRUPTIVE MANUFACTURING WING (Boeing) CRYOGENIC TANK (NASA & Boeing) 9

10 Press forming of thermoset composites: automation faster cycle time use of existing metal forming assets LEADING ADOPTION OF COMPOSITES IN SERIAL AUTOMOTIVE CAR HOOD Prepreg composites BODY IN BLACK PROTOTYPE 40% weight reduction Process time: from 12 hours to < 5 minutes 10

11 LAUNCH OF NEW BONDING TECHNOLOGY BENEFITS Reliable and certifiable primary structural bonds Increased structural performance Compatibility with all prepreg/adhesive systems Potential to eliminate fasteners Weight/costs savings Allows for efficient use of composites Optimized composite design, no holes Complex bonded structure Unitized bonded structure 11

12 KEY TAKEAWAYS Composites are a young technology The history of composites has been driven by advances in material science & automation Collaborating with strategic customers to innovate with new materials for the future of mobility Composites can and will deliver more value The future of composites will be defined by the convergence of High rate manufacturing Production system enablers Computational capabilities 12

13 COMPOSITE MATERIALS RESEARCH & INNOVATION Stephen Heinz, Director Composite Product Development Tim Wybrow, Application Research Manager 13

14 A BRIEF HISTORY OF COMPOSITE NEEDS AND TECHNOLOGY 1960/70s 1980/2000s 2000s Military and Space Extended mission envelope Enable unique performance Durability improvement Carbon fibers Material processes Civil Aircraft Fuel burn reduction Cost efficient weight saving Improved aerodynamics Toughness Volume ramp up Automotive Design for manufacturing Rapid consolidation, part integration Property optimization Industrialization Value proposition of structural composites rapidly evolved with market needs 14

15 COMPOSITE MATERIALS RESEARCH & INNOVATION Multidisciplinary & Multi-scale Structures Application Engineering Fracture and Failure Analysis Interfacial Properties Manufacturing R&D Composite Toughening Product Architecture Formulation Chemistry Polymer Science Fiber Science Processing Science Product Forms Recycled Products 15

16 HOW DO WE ANTICIPATE AND DEVELOP SOLUTIONS Application Engineering Novel Chemistry TOTAL COST SPEED ECOSYSTEM Products for Automation External Collaborations Modelling Testing Life Cycle More than a material supplier we are a technology integrator 16

17 UNIQUE POSITION TO CAPTURE OPPORTUNITIES IN THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES Broad portfolio of specialty polymers Fiber/Resin interface TP prepreg manufacturing Application Engineering Opportunities in thermoplastic composites Supports more cost-effective fabrication Enables higher build rates Design freedom More efficient part assembly Outstanding crash & safety performance Aerospace Automotive Improved recyclability 17
