1 1 EPICLON STANDARD PRODUCTSE poxy Resin&Curing AgentsEZ0101-17 [ ] epoxy BUSINESS in DIC CORPORATIONE poxy business isone of DIC Corporation's core business to be strengthened by continuous expansion. The production site is located in Chiba, Japan. The 1st plant has been operated since 1971. The 2nd plant was on stream in 1985 for epoxy resins used for electronics and electric application and the 3rd plant in 1994 for brominated epoxy resins. Investment to exiting plants has been continued to modernize the facilities such as computerizing. In addition to these three plants at Chiba, DICestablished a joint venture company with epoxy resin manufactures in 1989 to produce BPA liquid epoxy resin. Quality control and environmental protection are top concerns in our business operation.

2 ISO 9002 for epoxy resin production at Chiba Plant in 1993 and ISO 9001:2000 at Chiba Plant in 2002 were awarded, and ISO 14001 for Chiba Plant in 1997. The production technology has been licensed to companies in Italy, Korea and s epoxy resins have been exported to world market from Japan. In order to provide better service to oversea customers, especially in Asian countries, DICstarted epoxy production by a 100% subsidiary, DIC epoxy MALAYSIA, in Johor, Malaysia in committed customers to contribute their business by providing excellent quality, not only products, but also technical service, development to meet customers existing and future needs, delivery, competitive price and other supports.
