Main Markets Rubber Market Specialty Markets Cray Valley HSC has a long history serving the rubber marketplace with The Cray Valley HSC product lines are utilized in a number of functional additive products. other market segments which take advantage of the unique structure/property relationships inherent in the specialty Beginning with classic peroxide-cure coagent technologies, Cray Valley grades. HSC is a trusted provider of metallic monomers to belt, hose, seal, and wire and cable manufacturers. Cray Valley HSC metallic monomer products are Most notably, many of the reactive polymer products have employed to improve rubber adhesion and dynamic properties in a variety found utility in the thermoplastic modification market.

5 The of applications. Cured-in-place rubber to metal adhesion is enabled through high Tg resins can impart increased heat distortion resistance the use of metallic monomer coagents and Ricobond resins. Other diene to many commodity plastic grades, SMA resins are used to polymers can be used as functional additives for treating reinforcing textiles. improve the properties of virgin and recycled polyaramids, and metallic monomers are capable of improving the physical More recently, Cray Valley HSC has developed a portfolio of products properties of standard polyolefins. The diene-based polymer for the tire industry. Ricon liquid polybutadiene resins are established as products are also finding utility as additives to thermoplastics performance-enhancing additives for tire applications. Ricon resins are packaging, improving the oxygen barrier properties of films.

6 Employed to modify the viscoelastic response of the tread compound, Ricon MA and other functional grades are used to improve enabling improvements to the traction/fuel economy/wear property balance. the dispersion of organic and inorganic fillers in many Cray Valley HSC has developed specialty monomer products to improve key thermoplastic compound formulations. aspects of accelerated sulfur vulcanization, including cure efficiency and reversion. There are many other markets that have taken advantage of the diversity of chemistry and material properties including electronics, industrial coatings, and polyurethanes. Our goal is to work with every customer to provide Cray Valley HSC is committed to supplying value-added specialty materials value-added specialty materials that increase the performance of their products.

Liquid Polybutadienes Cray Valley HSC offers a diverse selection of specialty liquid polybutadiene grades including low and high vinyl polybutadiene homopolymers and poly(styrene-butadiene) copolymers. Ricon grades offer a complete selection of microstructures, which translates to a wide spectrum of glass transition temperatures. In addition to the base product line, functional derivatives are available.

9 The Ricon MA and Ricobond series include maleic anhydride grafted grades. Poly bd hydroxyl-terminated polyb- utadienes are available, and our unique Krasol product line consists of both unsaturated and fully hydrogenated telechelic polybutadiene diols. The products are used in an equally broad spectrum of markets and applications. Low-viscosity liquid polybutadienes are used as processing aids, and the wide Tg range allows for modification of tire performance properties. In addition, high vinyl grades are useful as coagents for the peroxide cure of rubber. Functional grades expand the utility of the polybutadiene res- ins to many other applications, including polyurethanes, hydrophobic sealants and coatings, and thermoplastic modification. product Description Typical Properties Availability Molecular Weight Epoxy 1,2 Vinyl (%) Viscosity (cps) Tg ( C) Specific Gravity MA (/chain) -OH (/chain).
