  1. iMFLUX a process innovation company enabled by DESIGN • CONTROLS • SERVICE

  2. COMPANY VISION OUR VISION OUR PURPOSE CHANGING THE WAY MOVE THE INJECTION THE WORLD MOLDS MOLDING INDUSTRY PLASTIC PARTS. TO THE GREEN CURVE

  3. WHO IS iMFLUX 4 3 1 2 PARENT ESTABLISHED LOCATION PURPOSE FORMED IN 2013 AFTER WHOLLY OWNED DELIVER SAVINGS, SPEED, HEADQUARTERED IN SEVERAL YEARS OF SUBSIDIARY OF THE INNOVATION TO P&G, P&G HAMILTON, OH DEVELOPMENT AND PROCTER AND GAMBLE SUPPLIERS, AND EXTERNAL ROLLOUT WITHIN P&G COMPANY PARTNERS

  4. PRODUCTS & SERVICES PROPRIETARY PROCESS WORLD CLASS TOOL DESIGN PAID FOR INNOVATION TECHNOLOGY AND MANUFACTURING SERVICES

  5. iMFLUX PROCESS SUMMARY Low Constant Pressure No Hesitation Pack-as-it-Fills Cavity Pressure Response Lower clamp tonnage Reduced flow lines Less sink marks Reduced flash + + + + Less retained stress Reduced tiger striping Stronger weld lines Automatic adjust for viscosity + + + + Uniform stress (less warp) Improved thin walling Faster cycle times Real time adjust for down cavities + + + + Lower melt temps Higher L/T Actuate sequential gates + + + + Improved surface finish Less gate blush Improved optical clarity Lighter parts (1-3%) + + + Less flash Not effected by leaky check ring + + + Smaller cold runners Less core shift Not effected by worn barrel + + Improved multi-cavity molds + Plastic Pressure Enable family molds + Considerations Less material degradation + Less mold wear + + Less press wear Windage designed in tool + Undercuts may hang on + Velocity limited press/tool combination + + Recovery limited press/tool combination T fill-pack-hold-cool (1)

  6. iMFLUX BENEFIT Throughput Instant Increase capacity 20-30% WHEEL Part weight Lower press Reduction investment 1-3% Reduced Improved Quality inventory Reduced Scrap New Materials Post consumer And fillers recycle Expanded Renewable design materials window Family Lower tools & energy multi cavity Costs >10%

  7. DISRUPTIVE PROCESS TECHNOLOGY High Velocity Residual Stress Forms High Pressure High Pressure Variation Sink High Shear Rates High Shrink Differentials Cosmetics Hesitation Cosmetics Conventional OPEN/ FILLING PACKING/HOLD COOL CLOSE Injection Molding CAVITY iMFLUX Low Constant OPEN/ PRESSURE COOL FILLING Pressure Molding CLOSE REACTION Low Velocity Lower Molded Stresses 25-50% Reduction in Pressure Low Pressure Differentials Reduced Sink Low Shear Rates Low Shrink Variation Improved Cosmetics Pressure Controlled Filling Constantly Adjusts Flow Velocities Reduce Warp No Hesitation Eliminate Splay, Tiger Stripes, Etc

  8. iMFLUX PROCESS iMFLUX vs. CONVENTIONAL Conventional + 25% - 50% Lower Pressures iMFIUX Plastic Pressure + Up to 40% Reduction in clamp force Low Pressure Process + Combine Fill/Pack phases + Reinvest pressure savings for other benefits + Integrate to existing assets (IM machines and tooling) T fill T pack-hold T cool T cool (2) T fill-pack-hold-cool (1) Faster Cycle

  9. iMFLUX PROCESS LOW CONSTANT PRESSURE + Lower Clamp Tonnage Conventional + Lower Melt Temperatures iMFIUX Plastic Pressure + Up-Cavitation Molds Low Constant Pressure + Less Retained Stress + Uniform Stress [Less Warp] + Less Gate Blush + Less Flash + Less Cavity-to-Cavity Variation + Less Material Degradation T fill T pack-hold T cool T cool (2) T fill-pack-hold-cool (1) Faster Cycle

  10. iMFLUX PROCESS NO FLOW HESITATION Conventional + Reduced Flow Lines iMFIUX + Improved Thin-Walling Plastic Pressure No Flow Hesitation + Higher L/T Capability + Smaller Cold Runners Part is fu Pa fully y packed T fill T pack-hold T cool 3 3 Inch long cold runner 0.030 0. 030 inch diameter T cool (2) T fill-pack-hold-cool (1) Faster Cycle

  11. iMFLUX PROCESS PACK AS IT FILLS + Faster Cycle Time Conventional + Reduced Sink Marks iMFIUX Plastic Pressure + Stronger Weld Lines Pack as it Fills + Improved Surface Finish T fill T pack-hold T cool iMFLUX Conventional T cool (2) T fill-pack-hold-cool (1) Faster Cycle

  12. iMFLUX PROCESS Cavity Pressure Response Conventional + Lighter Parts [1-3%] iMFIUX Plastic Pressure + Reduced Flash Cavity Pressure Response + Automatic Adjustments For Viscosity Shifts + Real-time Adjustment for Blocked Cavities + Actuate Sequential Valve Gates Cavity Pressure + Not Affected by Leaky Check Rings + Not Affected by Worn Barrel T fill T pack-hold T cool T cool (2) T fill-pack-hold-cool (1) Faster Cycle

  13. iMFLUX PROCESS CONSIDERATIONS Conventional iMFIUX + Recovery Limited Press/Tool Combination Plastic Pressure + Velocity limited Press/Tool Combination + Poor Mold Design / Conditions + Molds “Tuned” to Poor Processing Conditions T fill T pack-hold T cool T cool (2) T fill-pack-hold-cool (1) Faster Cycle
