Melamine is not for human consumption
Melamine should never be added to any food product
Including pet food

Principal characteristics make melamine chemically unique:
Stability - Highly resistant to heat and physical / chemical degradation
Structure – when added with other chemicals and chemical compounds provides surface properties like hardness, gloss and scratch resistance
Nitrogen content of 66 % allows it to be flame retardant and moisture resistant
Melamine unique qualities

Melamine in laminatesThe melamine molecule typically multiplies horizontally
This reaction is why melamine works so well for surfaces
High Pressure Laminates are typically surfaces
Low Pressure Laminates are typically vertical

Supply/Demand DynamicsChina is and will continue to be the wild card
o Antidumping case in the EU is projected to rearrange the Chinese focus from Europe to ROWo Shift in natural gas in winter from industrial to residential needso Older, less efficient plants are not projected to remain viableo In past few years China had to export ~150kt for global supply/demand to be in balance
Japanese production is expensive vs rest of world
o Will both Nissan and Mitsui continue? Europe’s natural gas is expensive vs rest of world
o Will current capacity continueo Total cost due to raw materials (natural gas/ammonia/urea) & social systems make for
expensive product Middle East has new capacity in Qatar but majority must be exported
o Iranian production has limited outletso No new capacity announced
Americas
o Only producer was Cytec in Louisiana, prior to MHTL coming online in recent monthso Americas has been net importer for ~10 yearso Cytec and MHTL combined will shift Americas to a net exporter
General
o Melamine plants typically don’t run at full rates year after yearo Currency fluctuations cause shifts in geographic focus

In the early 1900’s the first plastic laminate material was made by impregnating kraft paper (similar to brown bag paper) with phenolic resin and compressing it under high temperatures and pressure in a process called thermosetting that irreversibly cured the resin. The resulting material was resistant to heat, water, chemicals and electrical current………. For more -

• Global demand continues to increase
• Growth rates vary in each area of the world
• Economy improves as consumer confidence increases
• Supply of melamine improves as MHTL/Qatar production
increases to full capacity
• Moderate improvement in stocks from Q2 onward
• Supply from China into Europe remains in doubt due to
antidumping claim in the EU
• Price are stable through Q1, after increases every Q of 2010
• Prices decrease slightly then stabilize after Q2
• Market welcomes MHTL’s new capacity
• MHTL’s is able to achieve market penetration/share without being disruptive
• Global Supply/Demand continues to be the major driver relative to pricing
