7 Nippon Gohsei s G-Technology Using our state-of the-art G-Technology we can precisely control the crystallinity of the vinyl alcohol polymer while keeping high gas barrier properties! Semi Crystalline SoarnoL EVOH Amorphous Nichigo G-Polymer G-Technology 7

8 Barrier Properties of NICHIGO G-Polymer 8

9 Oxygen Barrier vs other Resins Temperature: 23 ºC Nichigo G-Polymer has more than 50 times better OTR compared to EVOH under dry condition. 9

10 Oxygen Barrier Properties Nichigo G-Polymer has the highest oxygen gas barrier property of all extrudable polymers under 60% RH! 10

11 Water Solubility Properties of NICHIGO G-Polymer 11

13 Water Solubility NICHIGO G-Polymer Non-woven Fabric 1 sec. 3 sec. 7 sec. Dissolution test : Immersed in 15 degree C water 13

14 Water Solution of NICHIGO G-Polymer Excellent dissolution in water 100% Perfect dissolution Nichigo G-Polymer TM 80% D issolution(%) 60% 40% PVOH Nichigo G-Polymer TM undissolved materials 20% 0% Tim e (M inutes) Conventional PVOH Increasing Temp. :30 -> 80 degree C (10 degree C/ min) Solid content : 6% 14

15 Biodegradability/Compostability of NICHIGO G-Polymer 15

16 Compostability Compostability of Nichigo G-Polymer confirmed by EU standards EN no. 7W0219 Samples at test start Disintegration test finished 16

17 Biodegradability & Regulations DIN CERTCO registered Biodegradability certified to EU standard EN Compostability certified to EU standards EN REACH : Pre-registered Food contact approval European Commission Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 including its amendment Commission Regulation (EU)No 1282/2011 FDA compliance indirect food contact, 21CFR

18 Compostable High Barrier Food Packaging with NICHIGO G-Polymer 18

19 Extrusion Properties Due to its amorphous nature G-Polymer has many advantages over conventional PVOH and other Specialty PVOH resins Extrudable with wide temperature processing window Excellent oxygen barrier properties at lower humidity Has good long run stability Can extrude a higher MW product 19

20 Extrudability of Nichigo G-Polymer TM PVOH, due to its high melting point cannot be extruded in the neat state In case of G-Polymer, the difference between melting point and decomposition temperature is large. Therefore, G-Polymer can be extruded without significant decomposition. Decomposition temp. Temp. Melting point Melting point Process window PVOH G-Polymer 20

21 Biodegradable Gas Barrier Packaging Biodegradable Bio-plastics are beginning to be used for food packaging. Food packaging normally requires gas barrier property for longer shelf-life. Multi-layer co-extrusion of Biodegradable Bioplastics and Nichigo G-Polymer can meet the new market-needs. Examples of Fully biodegradable packaging: PLA // G-Polymer // PLA PBS // G-Polymer // PBS Paper // G-Polymer // PLA 21

22 Biodegradable adhesive resin BTR-8002P BTR-8002P is designed as a biodegradable adhesive resin for Nichigo G-Polymer in PLA and other biopolymer multi layer structures With the addition of BTR-8002P high barrier compostable packaging is now possible 22

26 Application (Packaging) New multi-functional packaging FILMS, CAPSULES, TRAYS & CONTAINERS, BOTTLES, etc. By extrusion or solution coating with : High gas barrier properties! Biodegradability & compostability! Ø If used with PLA or other Bio resins Possibility to wash-away the Nichigo G-Polymer barrier layer from scraps thanks to it s rapid dissolution in cold water! Ø For easier recycling 26
