PROFILE
TOTAL Cray Valley manufactures and supplies dienebased liquid homopolymers and copolymers, C5 and C9hydrocarbon tackifying resins, derivatives, metallic monomer saltsof acrylic and methacrylic acid, and specialty monomer products.
TOTAL Cray Valley sells these products under the Ricon®,

Ricobond®, Krasol®, Poly bd®, Wingtack®, Cleartack®,
and Dymalink® brand names.
TOTAL Cray Valley focuses on rubber and adhesives, while also

supporting other traditional markets and new opportunities in theelectronics, coatings, and plastics modification areas.

The many technologies for TOTAL Cray Valley lead to molecular
structures in our products that promote rheology control,crosslinking, adhesion, sealing, reactive intermediates, polymer
synthesis, and dispersion.

Continuous improvement and technology innovation enablesTOTAL Cray Valley to capitalize on new products andmanufacturing excellence. These synergies lead to increased
value in our markets and business growth for our customers.

MARKET BREAKDOWN
Rubber Additives

Ricon ® | Wingtack ® | Clear tack ® | Dymalink ® | Ricobond ®
TOTAL Cray Valley has developed a portfolio of products for the tire industry. Ricon liquid polybutadiene resins are establishedas performance-enhancing additives for tire tread compounds requiring specific recipes for different segments — winter,summer, all-season, racing, and specialty. Ricon resins modify the viscoelastic properties of these compounds to optimize thebalance of traction, fuel economy, and durability.
TOTAL Cray Valley is a trusted provider of Dymalink metallic monomers and Ricon functional resins that manage crosslinking,adhesion and dynamic properties for belt, hose, seal, wire and cable, and other industrial rubber applications. Our specialty
additives deliver high modulus, hardness, and abrasion resistance to help belts retain their original properties over millions ofrevolutions. They enhance strong, lightweight hoses with excellent thermal, corrosion, and chemical resistance. They impartrubber adhesion to metals and reinforcing textiles.

Adhesion Promoters

Ricon ® | Poly bd ® | Krasol ® | Wingtack ® | Clear tack ® | Dymalink ® | Ricobond ®
TOTAL Cray Valley offers a wide range of products to enhance adhesion in your performance applications.
Our well known Wingtack hydrocarbon resins are extremely consistent, high-quality, low-color resins. Based on C5chemistry, they act as tackifiers in hot melt and pressure sensitive adhesives. Cleartack pure monomer resins provide
styrenic end block reinforcement in SBC adhesive formulations, while imparting low color and tack to hot melt adhesives.
Ricobond resins improve rubber adhesion to a variety of substrates, such as copper and textile, while increasing thecrosslink density of the formulation. Dymalink resins will dramatically increase the adhesion of rubber to metal substrates,even brass.
We also offer C4 resins with a variety of functionality, including hydroxyl-terminated, epoxidized, silanated, and maleinizedpolymers. The resins offers great formulating latitude in reactive adhesives.

Electronics

Ricon ® | Poly bd ® | Krasol ®
Our Poly bd hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene resins offer unique properties in potting and encapsulation formulations.
Cured as urethanes, these resins impart good thermal cycling up to 125 °C, excellent hydrolytic stability, and low moisturepermeation. Poly bd formulations show consistent elongation and embedment stress, even at low temperatures.
Ricon resins can be used in copper clad laminate (CCL) applications to improve electrical properties. When used inmethacrylated PPE formulations, Ricon copolymers can replace some or all of the TAIC hardener. The Ricon resins will
improve toughness while improving the dielectric properties of the formulation. Ricon copolymers have the appropriatebalance of backbone chemistry and processable viscosity needed to meet the increasing demands of this industry.

Thermoplastics/ Thermoplastic ElastomersRicon ® | Krasol ® | Clear tack ® | Dymalink ®

TOTAL Cray Valley products provide important advantages for thermoplastic and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) applications.
Dymalink metallic monomers increase melt strength in polypropylene-containing polymers and elastomers. This is importantfor producing products that are formed from extruded foam, sheet, and film. It also adds value for “upcycling” scrap material.
Dymalink aids in the manufacture of extruded foam polystyrene sheet. The material’s improved melt strength allows for
significant light-weighting while maintaining packaging performance.
Dymalink monomers, Ricon and Cleartack resins, participate in the enhancement of processability, mechanical, andadhesion properties for TPE and vulcanizates used in emerging automotive, fluid handling, construction, health care,consumer goods, and wire and cable industries.

Specialty Applications

Ricon ® | Poly bd ® | Krasol ® | Wingtack ® | Clear tack ® | Dymalink ®
From athletic surfaces to rocket motors, our Poly bd resins find utility in applications where high filler loading is required. Theresins impart the low-temperature flexibility, moisture resistance, and acid/base resistance critical to these formulations.
Our C4 resins are reactive plasticizers in specialty applications such as printing plates, where formulators can dial in
hardness, resistance, and resiliency. Our resins also act as oxygen scavengers in packaging applications, protecting food,juices, and medications from degradation.
Our goal in specialty markets is to work with each customer to develop value-added products that provide solutions to theirformulation challenges.
