2. COCASO1 May, 04th 2010 ICMA Expo, Scottsdale Congratulation 20 Years ICMA

3. COCASO2 May, 04th 2010 ICMA Expo, Scottsdale Content  Introduction  PVC Production and Types  PVC World Market  PVC for the Card Industry  Summary

4. COCASO3 May, 04th 2010 ICMA Expo, Scottsdale Introduction  PVC accounts for >90% of the card market  Other Materials PETG PC ABS PET Synthetic Paper (PE/PP) Other (Recycled,Combinations, Biodegr.)

5. COCASO4 May, 04th 2010 ICMA Expo, Scottsdale PVC General Production  PVC is a thermoplastic made of 57% chlorine (derived from industrial grade salt) 43% carbon (derived predominantly from oil / gas via ethylene)  Manufacture of PVC involves the use of potentially hazardous chemicals Manufacturing methods very closely regulated Today PVC is probably the world most researched plastic/polymer  Chlorine gives to PVC excellent fire resistance: self-extinguishing properties

6. COCASO5 May, 04th 2010 ICMA Expo, Scottsdale PVC General Production  Manufacturing facts: Extremely strict guidelines govern PVC manufacture and workers exposure  Application facts: A substantial volume of research and over 50 years of experience, support the fact that PVC can be safely used even in the most sensitive of applications (such as medical devices).  End of life facts: PVC is one of the most recyclable of polymers but can be disposed of, if required, quite safely

7. COCASO6 May, 04th 2010 ICMA Expo, Scottsdale PVC General Comparisons

8. COCASO7 May, 04th 2010 ICMA Expo, Scottsdale PVC Production Basic 5 steps  Extraction of salt and hydrocarbon resources  Production of ethylene and chlorine from these resources  Combination of chlorine and ethylene to make the vinyl chloride monomer (VCM)  Polymerisation of VCM to make poly-vinyl- chloride (PVC)  Blending of PVC polymer with other materials to produce different formulations providing a wide range of physical properties.

9. COCASO8 May, 04th 2010 ICMA Expo, Scottsdale PVC Types Formulation for Cards  PVC Powder available (S-PVC)  Blending/Formulation to Application Thermal Characteristics Mechanical Characteristics Color Durability (Stabilizer) Surface / Printability Consistancy

10. COCASO9 May, 04th 2010 ICMA Expo, Scottsdale PVC World Market - Overview  Around 46 million tons of PVC was produced worldwide in 2009  ~7,5 million tonnes being used in each Western Europe and USA  Predominantly used within rigid applications such as Windows and Doors and Pipes.

11. COCASO10 May, 04th 2010 ICMA Expo, Scottsdale PVC in the Card Industry - Comparison  World 46 Mio tons  Cards 100 k tons Source: CMAI, December 2009. Figures in million tonnes INEOS 46,400,000 tons in 2009

12. COCASO11 May, 04th 2010 ICMA Expo, Scottsdale PVC World Market - Applications  Flexible Film 2,8 Mio tons  Cards 100 k tons

13. COCASO12 May, 04th 2010 ICMA Expo, Scottsdale Summary  Cards Market demand is a minimum fracture of the world wide PVC market Competitive Pricing enabled  PVC characteristics are optimized for the card market since the 60’s  High recycling rate, Good recycle-ability  Wide range of Applications demonstrate the Adjustability of PVC
