2 THERMOPLASTICS GLOBAL COMPETENCE AND RELIABILITY Already over 25 years Barnet s Polymers Business delivers experience, competence, quality and reliability to a global market as a supplier of thermoplastic products. With production sites in Europe and the USA we have specialized in the Recycling of Nylon 6-, Nylon 66- and PETresidues and offer Compounding as an additional service to our customers. Other resins in the portfolio are e.g. PP, ABS, PC, PBT. A specialty we offer for composites and elastomer applications is short cut fiber for reinforcement purposes. WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS The high quality products in our portfolio are primarily used as compounding, but our proprietary process also produces products that are suitable for the production of yarns and fibres or film extrusion.the main field of applications in the plastics industry are e.g. AUTOMOTIVE, ELECTRICAL, BUILDING, SPORTS and PACKAGING. NYLON is one of the most significant raw materials for the engineered resin industry. Key attributes are high impact strength, good slip and abrasive performance as well as outstanding thermal properties.

Due to its high impact strength, Nylon 6 is particularly suitable to make compounds that will later end up in applications such as: - ENGINE COVERS - RADIATOR GRILLS - TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS - WALL PLUGS - ELECTRIC TOOL CASINGS - CHAIR BASES % rocks / lumps 0% % first grade 0% 0.3% off / wide 0% spec 0.3% 1.5% NYLON 66 Nylon 66 has, due to its different chemical structure, different physical properties, such as e.g. higher heat resistance and stiffness and is therefore particularly suitable to make compounds that will later end up in applications such as: - SLIDE BEARINGS - GEAR BOX PARTS - COOLENT HOSES - CABLE STRAPS - WHEEL COVERS - OIL PAN PARTS % rocks / lumps 0% % first grade 0% 0.3% off / wide 0% spec 0.3% 1.5%

3 THERMOPLASTICS HIGH QUALITY STANDARDS As it is our objective to provide the utmost in Customer Satisfaction, our primary focus areas are Quality, Service, Cost, Productivity and Safety. Quality management with Control Systems in Manufacturing and in our own laboratories are a standard. All substances in our products have been preregistered with REACH. Our production site as well as the laboratory in the USA are ISO 9001 certified. The laboratory has an additional AALA certificate. EVERYTHING IN-HOUSE From sourcing via production to sales. Everything is kept inhouse to make sure that knowledge is exactly in place where it is needed. Our production facilites include melt filtered pelletization, agglomeration, grinding, drying, crystallization, screening, blending, baling / repacking. POST CONSUMER (PC) PRODUCTS Barnet is working to develop compounding using post consumer. While recovery processes are constantly improving, the challenge associated with producing compounding is the removal of a significant amount of foreign matter that may be found in the recovered fiber. Our goal is to produce pellets with ash contents less than 1%. The most common applications for these is in mineral filled, glass - mineral, and glass filled compounds. PET In addition to high tranparency and good thermal properties, one of the main strengths of POLYETHYLENTEREPH- THALATE (PET) is its extremely easy and efficient, almost endless recycling possibilities. PET was initially used in textile fiber and yarn applications. However, PET has been found to perform well in packaging and film applications as well. More recently, engineered resin applications have been developed for PET. first grade copolymer/ homopolymer natural/clear blue-, green transparent % carbon black content micro dull ,05% Tio2 semi dull % Tio2 full dull > 1.5% Tio2 off / wide spec OTHER POLYMERS AND SPECIALTIES SHORT CUT FIBRES These are available in Nylon 6, Nylon 66, Polyester, PP or specialty short cut fiber for reinforcement purposes in: - ELASTOMERS Precision cut fibers and flock are added to reinforce natural and synthetic rubber products to improve performance of V-BELTS, TIMING BELTS and RUBBER HOSES. - COMPOSITES The use of Polyester, Nylon or specialty short cut fibers in Polymer is growing as they help to improve the strength, stiffness and durability of the base resin. Textile applications utilize primarily PET homopolymer with IVs in the range. Packaging and Film applications as well as Carpet Yarn utilize primarily PET copolymer (produced by adding Isophthalic Acid) with IVs in the range. Some specific applications for Barnet PET products are: - SHEET PRODUCTION FOR VACUUM FORMING - PACKAGING FILM PRODUCTION - STRAPPING - PREFORM-, BOTTLE PRODUCTION - SEMI FINISHED PRODUCTS / RODS reprocessed agglomerate regrinds rocks / lumps or extrusion waste OTHER POLYMERS - PP Polypropylen is due to its low density one of the lightest plastics and therefore excellently qualified for end use applications such as BICYCLE HELMETS, CAR DASHBOARDS, CAR BATTERY CASES or BOTTLE CAPS. - ABS With its high surface hardness and impact strength, ABS is very well suited for applications that need a scratch resistant and semi gloss surface. Another feature is its suitablility to be coated with metal. Some end use applications are SHEETS, CASES FOR HOUSE HOLD APPLIANCES, DOOR KNOBS, WHEEL COVERS. - PC The remarkable characteristics of Polycarbonate are its high tensile strength, impact strength, stiffness and hardness, but especially that it is a very clear product. Therefore it is not suprising that main end uses are CDs, OPTICAL LENSES, HEADLAMP DIFUSERS, AIRCRAFT WINDOWS or VISORS FOR HELMETS. - PBT As the name Polybutylentherephtalate indicates, PBT belongs to the Polyesters and has similar characteristics as PET. It is however better suited for injection moulding as it has a different cooling as well as process performance. The main advantage on e.g. POM or Nylon is that the material has a very high dimensional stability and has good abrasion and wearout features. End uses are e.g. COUPLING DEVICES, CASES OF ELECTRO-TECHNIC TOOLS or SHOWER QUENCH HEADS.
