1 Sustainability in AkzoNobel Powder Coatings

2 Every Color Is Green We are proud of our commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly products and technology. It s a serious commitment, and we ve clearly stated our objective to remain in the top three in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index. BU Powder Coatings Every Color Is Green 2

3 It s a continuous process We are working closely with all our stakeholders towards a sustainable future. We are constantly seeking greener, more sustainable and renewable materials and resources from our suppliers. BU Powder Coatings Every Color Is Green 3

4 Working together We also recognise that our customers have tough sustainability objectives and we are working closely with them to provide a sustainable alternative in order to meet those targets. BU Powder Coatings Every Color Is Green 4

5 What is so special about Powder Coatings? There are no Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC s) in Interpon Powder Coatings There are no toxic heavy metals such as lead or chromium (VI) in Interpon Powder Coatings. BU Powder Coatings Every Color Is Green 5

6 What is so special about Powder Coatings? We have secured ISO 9001 which illustrates exemplary measures have been taken to ensure a quality product is supplied to the market. We developed a patented process particle managed technology (PMT) - that results in an average 50% conservation of materials BU Powder Coatings Every Color Is Green 6

7 What is so special about Powder Coatings? There is almost no waste (reclamation ~96%) when carefully using our Powder Coatings as any overspray can be recycled and/or reused. Our products offer durable protection, reducing the need for replacement products or coatings. BU Powder Coatings Every Color Is Green 7

8 Are powder coatings as durable as or even more durable than liquid? Yes powder is at least as durable as liquid. It has to meet the same specifications. Weathering Test - Florida Specification Available Products Available AN Products 10 Years AAMA 2605 PVDF liquid Fluoropolymer powder Trinar Interpon D Years AAMA 2604 Polyester powder Interpon D Year AAMA 2603 Polyester powder Interpon D1000 BU Powder Coatings Every Color Is Green 8

9 R&D driven by sustainability & energy efficiency Our powders based on Particle Management Technology (PMT) boast all the benefits of a standard powder coating as well as: Reduced film build and therefore less natural resources (such as raw materials, energy) consumption Superior flow and levelling compared to conventional powder BU Powder Coatings Every Color Is Green 9

10 Low Temperature Cure We also supply Interpon Powder Coatings which can be cured at significantly lower temperatures our Low Temperature Cure range - meaning yet another energy saving, as well as reduced CO2 emissions. BU Powder Coatings Every Color Is Green 10

11 Dry on dry technology We are developing dry on dry technologies which reduce the overall curing time of multiple coatings. 2 layers cured =less time in the oven = reduced energy bills & less CO2 BU Powder Coatings Every Color Is Green 11

12 Low carbon footprint Our carbon footprint is among the lowest in the coatings industry. But it doesn t stop there. We use ecological efficiency analyses (EEA s) to reconfirm for both ourselves and our customers that powder is a sustainable coatings material. BU Powder Coatings Every Color Is Green 12

13 To the future In 2011 we have already exceeded our % target of all products labeled as Eco Premium Solutions. 35% of all products sold are currently Eco-Premium. 100% of Interpon Architectural, Furniture and ACE powders are Eco- Premium BU Powder Coatings Every Color Is Green 13

14 We are SMaRT! August AkzoNobel Powder Coatings was awarded SMaRT Sustainable Platinum certification AkzoNobel Powder Coatings is the first coatings company to achieve a SMaRT certification Sustainable Platinum is the highest level a company can achieve

23 04 Domestic Appliance Powder Coatings BU Powder Coatings Every Color Is Green 23

24 Domestic bliss "Global washing machine manufacturers have been able to completely remove liquid solvents and thus VOCs from their coatings by using a two coat powder metallic effect system." BU Powder Coatings Every Color Is Green 24

25 Cool Savings A leading Chinese refrigerator brand have realised around a 12% saving by switching to Interpon AF BU Powder Coatings Every Color Is Green 25

26 05 Particle Management Technology (PMT) BU Powder Coatings Every Color Is Green 26
