Wind Energy Markets are Anticipated to Grow Page 7

Significant Portion Installed in China Source: GWEC Page 8

Tough Requirements Wind Energy • Reliable wind turbine operat ion • Generat e energy wit hout int erruption • Low investment cost • Minimal maintenance • Long and efficient working life Page 9 Page 99

Current Material Systems for Wind Turbine Blades Have Limitations • Mostly based on epoxy resins – Bring resist ance t o fat igue – Yet sensit ive t o process variations – Require a t ime-consuming post -cure for reaching opt imum physical properties • Blades based on polyester resins have important share of market – Resins are easier to process – But laminates feature less fatigue resist ance – Typically based on styrene-cont aining resins, requiring appropriate emission cont rol systems in blade production Page 10 10

Composites Industry is Dealing with Several Challenges at the Same Time • Desire for higher performance material systems – Excellent mechanical propert ies – Large production series capability – Improved process consist ency and quality (e.g. less repairs) • Desire to have alternatives to styrene – St yrene is most commonly used react ive diluent – S trong smell, need for emission cont rol – Flammability • Replacement of t raditional Cobalt cat alysts used for curing – Cobalt Octoat e already classified as CMR2 – Fut ure classificat ion yet unclear • Reduce dependence on fossil-based raw materials – Event ual depletion fossil resources – Price volatilit y Page 11

Breakthrough Beyone™ 201-A-01 Resin from DSM • Can be employed in high end applications and compete with epoxy resins on performance • Reactive diluent derived from renewable feedstock • Works perfectly with a new, Cobalt-free catalytic system based on BluCure™ Technology Page 12
