Polimotor • Created by Matti Holztberg in 1980 after 7 years of R&D • What is Polimotor? - World’s first Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite Internal Combustion Engine - Amoco was a major sponsor with the Torlon® PAI Product (now owned by Solvay Specialty Polymers) which was a key enabler for the Polimotor technology • History - 1984: Polimotor was installed in a Lola. T 616 race car - 1985: The car raced in the International Motor Sports Association Camel GT Championship in the Camel Lights (Group C 2) category - 1985: Polimotor finshed 3 rd at Limerock & Elkhart 6 Polimotor 2 | © Solvay Specialty Polymers, 2016

Polimotor Engines Polimotor 1 8 Polimotor 2 | © Solvay Specialty Polymers, 2016
Power Train Technology Overview • Technology Base - 4 Cylinder, Turbo Charged, Double Overhead Cam Engine (375 -400 HP) • Mass Reduction Target - 40% Reduction in Weight • • • Combustion & Cam/Crank Design - Potential Cylinder Wall Materials: Steel, Aluminum, Iron, Ceramic - Combustion Chamber Materials: Aluminum, Cast iron, Magnesium, Ceramic - Cam shaft and crank shaft are metal • Engine Block/Oil Pan/Cam Box - GF Reinforced Thermoset - Key Drivers: Weight and NVH Abatement, dry sump oil pan for improved performance • Transmission - Norma 20 Concept Car with Sadev Gear Box Engine is designed for testing & concept demonstration NDA required with M. Holtzberg for further technical discussions 9 Polimotor 2 | © Solvay Specialty Polymers, 2016
Composite Engine Technology Overview • Engine Block/Oil Pan/Cam Box • GF/CF Reinforced Thermoset • 10 X Longer Tool Life than Steel Tooling for Aluminum High Pressure Die Casting. Tooling is 60% less expensive due to lower injection pressure. • No need to seal (Impregnate) as done for high pressure die casting Aluminum • Molding to net shape reduces/eliminates secondary machining • Post cure 160°C for 3 hours vs Aluminum heat treating at 500°C for 8 hours • • Engine is designed for testing & concept demonstration NDA required with M. Holtzberg for further technical discussions 10 Polimotor 2 | © Solvay Specialty Polymers, 2016
