Key points:

Built-in value to the construction sector: INEOS Styrolution will highlight its Luran®
grades aimed at enhancing the performance of construction applications: Luran HH-120
Q530: a powdered alpha methyl styrene acrylonitrile (AMSAN) grade offering improved
heat deflection temperature in PVC compounds; Luran S 757 G: an acrylonitrile styrene
acrylate (ASA) grade with excellent flowability and easy processability, making it easy for

thinner wall parts injection; Luran S 757 RE: an excellent replacement material for PVC with
good weather ability, heat resistance and chemical resistance properties that are helpful for
indoor and outdoor decoration; Luran S 777 K: a well-balanced ASA with good flowability
and easy processability helping extruded sheet manufacturers to produce wider roofing.

Versatile polymer solutions for the healthcare segment: INEOS Styrolution will
showcase IV tubes made of styrene-butadiene block copolymer resins (SBC/S-TPE) like
Styrolux® and Styroflex®. These grades feature the right material properties for flexible
applications like IV tubing, multi-lumen, and coextruded tubings. Their processability and
high flowability as well as the excellent transparency make them a suitable material
solution. In addition, a newly developed SBC grade intended for drip chambers will also be
featured. This innovative material solution offers an outstanding bonding performance and
excellent processability with highest quality standards. The excellent flow properties allow
customers to use more cavities for injection molding and reduce cycle times.

Offering high aesthetic appeal and quality for the automotive industry: As a
leading styrenic material solution provider, INEOS Styrolution will feature its Luran S
778T SPF30, which offers intrinsic properties, such as superior ultra-violet (UV)
stability, dimensional strength, and impact and moisture resistance, offering
automotive customers flexibility of design and premium aesthetic value. This Luran S
grade offers a stable surface for precision foil application and adhesion. Unlike
chrome plating, the use of hot stamp foil eliminates the need to mask the entire front
grill. Without this surface property, it would have been impossible to precision apply
the foil to achieve the desired diamond-like appearance.

Providing distinctive visual packaging options: INEOS Styrolution will illustrate its
latest grades which combine the best attributes of clear plastic to produce a
distinctive visual package: Styrolux: a styrene-butadiene block copolymer (SBC)
grade offering excellent shrinkage rates, high clarity, print quality and better cost
savings; NAS® 30 and Luran SAN W: premium choice for rigid applications with good
chemical resistance, sparkling clarity, high stiffness, superior processability and
compliant with FDA and EU food contact regulations.

Styrenic enhancements for the electronics industry: Powering innovation in electronics,
INEOS Styrolution will show outdoor communication device made of Luran S (ASA) and
innovative LED applications utilizing NAS 30 (SMMA). Both materials provide significant
value to this industry due to their excellent appearance and performance characteristics.


The home of the future: INEOS Styrolution materials combine durability with aesthetically
pleasing appearance for many household items. Supporting innovation in the household
industry, Styrolution will showcase appliances suitable for food contact made of NAS,
Zylar®, Clearblend®, Luran SAN C and Luran 386R, as well as fridge liners produced with
Novodur® 595CP.
In addition, INEOS Styrolution executives will be on hand to discuss future business strategies, key
industry trends and the outlook of the styrenics market.
