4 Main Applications For molders and fabricators using Trinseo resins, there are many possibilities. Whether an application requires balancing light diffusion with transparency, custom tints or superior ignition or chemical resistance, we can address the challenge. The following describes our main areas of involvement: Solid Sheet Structural Sheet Edgebands and Profiles Solid Sheets Trinseo offers a broad portfolio of resins for applications like opaque sheets, clear sheets and floor mats. Opaque Sheets Our MAGNUM TM ABS Resins have become a material of choice. These resins are manufactured with continuous mass polymerization technology, which results in a very stable and clean product and ensures superior lot-to-lot consistency of properties. Thanks to this unique technology, our MAGNUM TM ABS resins offer excellent processing characteristics with great product performance. In addition, the low gel levels and thermal stability result in sheet with superior aesthetics; the low base color and high lot-to-lot consistency ensure a more reliable and cost-efficient extrusion process. STYRON TM Polystyrene Resin (GP), STYRON A-TECH TM Polystyrene Resins, and STYRON X-TECH TM Polystyrene Resins (HI) are also produced with a continuous mass polymerization process, ensuring excellent lot-to-lot consistency and clean product. Often blended to achieve the desired property balance, these resins have excellent processability in extrusion/thermoforming applications. The material offers a good balance of stiffness, processability and heat resistance, delivering a high-performing product with a range of property features specific to customers needs. PULSE TM PC/ABS Resins offer exceptional impact performance, even at very low temperatures, in combination with outstanding heat properties. Variants with mineral fillers to reduce CLTE or glass fibers to increase stiffness or with ignition resistant additives are available as well or can be tailor made on request. EMERGE TM Advanced Resins (PC) are designed to comply with UL regulatory standards for ignition resistance at a variety of thicknesses. EMERGE TM PC/PET Resins offer outstanding chemical resistance in combination with high impact performance and are specially developed to comply with the high demands of medical applications. Clear Sheets TYRIL TM SAN Resins offer excellent chemical resistance, strength, hardness and dimensional stability and transparency. CALIBRE TM Polycarbonate resins offer high impact strength, transparency, rigidity, dimensional stability and exceptional performance at both high and low temperatures. Floor Mats Floor mats is another demanding end application that we support with our broad CALIBRE TM Polycarbonate Resins product portfolio. Floor mat producers value CALIBRE TM Polycarbonate Resins for their perfect combination of toughness, fatigue resistance and clarity. EMERGE TM PC Resins are tailored for high ignition resistance demands and Trinseo offers transparent types that are UL94V0 in a range of 1 mm to 3.0 mm thickness. 4

5 Structural Sheets Trinseo also offers a range of high-performance thermoplastic solutions to produce structural sheets, allowing extruders to produce regular or insulation panels but also heavier and more complex multi-wall sheets with enhanced thermal insulation properties. In our portfolio of STYRON TM Polystyrene Resins, we have a range of polystyrene foam grades. This allows extruded polystyrene foam (X) customers to produce high quality insulation panels with various thickness, good surface finish, board thickness stability and consistent high-production output. CALIBRE TM Polycarbonate Resins are go-to products for the multi-wall sheet market because they offer excellent processability characteristics. The melt strength of our CALIBRE TM Polycarbonate Resin is the highest available on the market, allowing for excellent calibration of very heavy and complex multi-wall sheets. Additionally, our CALIBRE TM Polycarbonate Resin and grades offer outstanding surface aesthetics, thanks to their tailored composition. Trinseo offers also a number of CALIBRE TM Polycarbonate Resin specialties: CALIBRE TM 320UV Polycarbonate Resin: for coextrusion of a UV protective layer for outdoor applications CALIBRE TM 340TNIR Polycarbonate Resin: for coextrusion of a near infrared absorbing layer to reduce solar heating CJ 300 Opal: for addition as a master batch for light diffusion applications Edgebands and Profiles Trinseo is market leader with the best product offering for edgebands and profiles: the ABS Resins, which offers an excellent balance of features such as toughness, extrudability and surface aesthetics. ABS Resins unique low and consistent base color, combined with its high color stability after processing, allow for easy color tuning. This is vital for converters who often need to produce several hundred combinations of color and embossing, often in small order sizes. 5
