1 Revving Engines of Innovation PAG Based Fluids & Lubricants Brian J. Goldstein Market Manager May 6, The Dow Chemical Company

2 Developed during WWII PAG Polyalkylene Glycol UCON & SYNALOX Viscosity builder in fire resistant water glycol hydraulic fluids

3 Attractive Attributes PAG Polyalkylene Glycol UCON & SYNALOX Pour points to -45 o C High V.I.s (up to 400) Excellent friction control Excellent deposit control Bio-degradability (up to 90%) Hydrolytically stable Low heats of combustion Mild antiwear

4 PAGs Provide Versatile Performance

5 Solving problems that mineral oils, PAO and esters cannot. Long History, Clear Value Proposition. What else is there to know?

6 Excellent Performance Across Our Portfolio However, all PAGs are not created equal

7 Designer Chemistry Homopolymers - Block Copolymers - Reverse-Block Copolymers - Random Copolymers - Ability to Modify Molecular Architecture molecular weight viscosity functional performance Water Soluble (EO/PO) Water Insoluble (PO) Oil Soluble (PO/BO)

8 Oil Soluble PAGs are helping formulators deliver PAG-like performance properties in hydrocarbon lubricants. PAG Chemistry Continues to Evolve Viscosity index Friction control Pour points Elastomer compatibility Biodegradability OSP Oxidation stability Antiwear Traditional PAG Deposit control Hydrolytic stability Oil miscibility

9 How Our Portfolio Stacks UP Comparison of PAG Product Offerings Functional Needs Water Soluble Water Insoluble Oil Soluble Bio- Renewable Benefit to OEM, Formulator & End-User All Season Performance Reduce supply chain complexity Long Life Performance Reduce aftermarket service cost & improve profitability Air Release (low air entrainment) Medium Medium Fast Medium - Ability to build smaller equipment - Provides responsive hydraulic controls Wear Performance Optimize overall equipment reliability Fire Resistant Optimize safety and reliability Biodegradable Non-Sheening on Water Address environmental market needs Oil Compatibility Ease of fluid conversion for upgrades High Temperature High Pressure 5000 psi 5000 psi 5000 psi 5000 psi Address market needs
