What is Trymer PIR and Where is it Used?• Closed-cell polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam • Thermoset polymer (chemical/solvent

resistance) • Rigid insulation supplied in bunstock • Fabricated into pipe shells, sheets, tank and

vessel coverings, and other shapes

• Not a “urethane” (i.e. PU) • PU has same basic raw materials as Trymer PIR • Chemically reacted in a very different manner • PIR has better performance in many important

properties: • Smoke and flame • Dimensional stability • Ease of fabrication and installation • Service temperature • Solvent and moisture resistance

Trymer PIR (incl. T25-50) – Key Properties

Differences Between Trymer 2000XP PIR and Trymer 25-50 PIR

• Same performance other than flame spread/smoke developed ratings • Temperature limits of -297 to 300°F (-183 to 149°C) • Physical properties (strength, k-Factor, water resistance, etc.) • Thermoset polymers - won’t melt and not softened by solvents • Comply with same ASTM standard (C591, Grade 2, Type IV)

• Key difference is: Fire Properties

• Trymer 25-50 PIR is EXCELLENT • ≤25/50 flame spread/smoke developed indices up to 1.5” • Use as commercial building pipe insulation in :

• Plenums where ≤ 25/50 flame/smoke is required by mechanical codes • Other parts of commercial buildings as may be required by specs

• Trymer 2000XP PIR is Very Good • ≤25/450 flame spread/smoke developed indices at all thicknesses • Can be used in non-plenum areas of commercial buildings and meets codes • Used in outdoor and industrial applications

From BMI Research

• Market Overview - United States - Oil And Gas Infrastructure - Q3 2017

OIL REFINERIES • With reported refinery capacity of 18.3mn barrels per day (b/d) as of the EIA's 2016 report, the US is the world's

dominant country in refining .

• Texas and Louisiana combined account for approximately 48.0% of the country's capacity with Texas accounting for nearly 30% on its own. Reports of the number of refineries vary by methodology, although the Energy Information Administration (EIA) counts 141 refineries as of January 1 2016, 139 of which are operating .

• The US completed its first new refinery since 1976 in 2015, but capacity did, in fact, expand prior to that. According to the EIA, US crude oil distillation capacity stood at 17.9 8mn b/d in March 2015. This is well above the 16 .7mn b/d recorded a decade prior (March 20 0 3), and higher than the 15.7mn b/d in January1985 - the earlies t data on record. This increase in capacity at existing refineries has occurred, in part, as a way to avoid the time and expense of gaining permission to build entirely new facilities .

• That said, this has not stopped planning for three new refineries in North Dakota. These are the firs t Greenfield projects to be built in the US in more than three decades, and will be aimed at taking advantage of the abundant light crude Bakken feeds tock to supply the surrounding markets with finished product, rather than continuing to rely on Gulf Coast refiners . Each facility will have a capacity of 20 ,000 b/d with the first facility, the Dakota Prairie Refinery, having come online in 2015.

BMI Reseach ContGULF COAST

• The Gulf Coast is the dominant area in terms of refining for the US. Nearly 90% of its capacity is located in Texas and Louisiana, with 2016 figures reporting 57 refineries operating in the region. • Total operable capacity stands at 9.5mn b/d as of January 2016

. The refineries in the area tend to be larger on average than elsewhere in the country, with average capacity, according to the EIA, of 152,000 b/d. • Oil and Gas demand/projects expected to look good into 2018
