America: Largest w/ 50 % Share of Global Diaper Market - In Asia (especially for China): Highest Growth Rate Region; Higher Birth Rates; Growing Disposable Income; Rise In Working Women World Diaper Market Size (2004~2012) CAGR : 4-5% North America 2-5% Europe 5-8% Asia (China) 12-15% Source: AccuSentry Europe N. American Asia Pacific Others
6 SBCs Growth in Diapers Elastics* Growth Of SBCs In Elastomeric Films* Carlos Richer - Approximately 348 million diapers sold every day with maximum market potential of 1.41 billion units per day. Only 24% world market share. Growth Driver: Comfort, Fit, & Containment Timeline *Dexco Polymers Estimate Bubble Size Incorporation Of Elastics
7 Diapers Across the Globe I like the Comfort Fit Hygiene market has been the developmental & commercial driver of stretchable laminates * * Stretchable Nonwovens Obtained from Manufacturers Websites
8 Closure-Type Diaper Elastomeric Materials Improve The Comfort And Fit Of Diapers Ears /Side Panels Waistband Films/ Strands Film/ Netting/ Strands Tabs Films Leg Elastics Mechanical Closure Landing Zone
9 Performance - Elasticity Performance of Diaper Components Stretch Engines - Elasticity Side Panels Ears Performance Requirements Varies Based on Diaper Part Tabs Waist Band
10 Types Of Stretchable Materials Focus Styrenic Block Polymers Non-Hydrogenated Family (Highest Volume SBCs) Styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS & SBS/SB) triblock copolymers Styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS & SIS/SI) triblock copolymers Hydrogenated Family Styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene (SEBS) Styrene-ethylene-ethylene/propylene-styrene(SEEPS) Others Natural Rubber Polyolefin Elastomers Thermoplastic Polyurethane
11 Unmet Need - Driving Force For New SBS? Why Market Interest In NEW SBS Block Copolymers? Challenges associated with the processing of SEBS copolymers on the market; producing very thin films. Converters using SEBS, SEEPS, SIS, SIS/SBS blends have strong interest & need for cost relief; lower cost alternatives Converters using POE s desire improved elasticity. Need for high performing films at a thicknesses of less than 50 microns & preferrably < 35 microns via Direct-Feed Extrusion. Hypothesized: A New Low Styrene SBS Block Copolymer Might Be Of Value In Meeting Some Of These Unmet Needs. Can New Low Styrene SBS copolymers be converted into film at a thickness of less than 35 micron? Are the properties attractive for diaper elastic applications?
12 S,B, Block Structure Definitions SSSS-BBBBBB-SSSSSS Pure Sequential Block Structure S-B-S Sequential Pure Block Chemistry SSSS-BBBBBB-SSSS/ SSSS-BBB Triblock/ Diblock Blend S-B-S/ S-B Coupled Chemistry or Sequentially Produced Blended Products Factoid*: Anionic Sequential Polymerization of SIS and SBS Triblock Copolymers yield products that offer Advantaged Physical Properties vs. similar products produced via Coupling Technology. * ANTEC SPE 2005, Highly Transparent Elastomeric Films
13 Determining Right Product - The Application Where do you Start? Selection Of The Proper SBC Requires and In-Depth Understanding Of the specific application on the diaper the requirements for elasticity the cost model SBC Selection Cannot Be Made Based On The Physical Properties Of The SBC Alone. It Requires A Further Understanding Of the Manufacturers history of Processing SBCs level of Sophistication extrusion Capabilities
14 Elastomeric Film Formulations SBC Elastic Film Are Typically Blended Products Typical Formulations: 5-30% Thermoplastic (e.g., PS, PE, PP, etc.) 60-95% SBC (e.g., SIS, SBS, SEBS, SEEPS, or blends) optionally with Process Oils (e.g., White mineral oils) / Antiblock Additives (e.g., Erucamide/ Silica), Antioxidants (e.g., Irganox 1010), Pigments (PE masterbatch typically) Typically Extruded A Pre-Compounded Product Direct Feed Of A Physical Blend Individual Components

28 Summary/ Conclusions New Low Styrene SBS Copolymers Compositions using Polystyrene resin at 19.1 to 29.6 Wt.% polystyrene resin combined with triblock copolymers with a low styrene SBS copolymer (~23 Wt.% Styrene), 10.8 to 22.3 Wt.% mineral oil yield very thin elastic films (25 µm). New low styrene SBS copolymers show outstanding elastic properties. Melt Strength data confirms the ability of these new low styrene SBS copolymers to produce thin films. New Low Styrene SBS copolymers have the potential to offer converters and end-users thinner films at a lower basis weight along with a lower specific gravity.
