1 Hazards are unpredictable. Nomex ® is not.

2 Purpose / Agenda Commitment to Nomex ® Introduce Nomex ® MHP Selling Nomex ® MHP to End-Users Sales and Technical Teams Supporting Nomex ® Call to Action

3 The Nomex ® Promise Hazards are unpredictable. Nomex ® is not. Heritage: 40 years of proven performance Inherent flame-resistant protection Protection from heat & flame, arc, and welding Lightweight single layer protection Market leading durability & low life cycle cost Rigorous product testing and stewardship Protection beyond the standards ( Exceeds NFPA 2112) Exceptional fit, appearance, and color retention 40+ years of the best thermal protection Inherent (Not Treated) lightweight protection Superior Durability = more cost-effective Peace of Mind because of rigorous testing

4 Solutions delivering the Nomex ® promise Strengthen Nomex ® IIIA Commitment More Solutions to Meet Your Needs Nomex ® MHP A new solution to three burning problems from the brand you trust Arc flash (NFPA 70E Cat 2) Small molten metal splashes (EN ISO 11611) Soft and comfortable Engineered with moisture management in mind Global product launch Co-developed with Springfield Nomex ® IIIA The gold standard in heat and flame protection. The lightest weight protection for heat and flame by almost 50% Proven heritage: 40+ years Superior durability and strength Excellent appearance retention Continued product innovations to address customer needs

5 DuPont™ Nomex ® MHP Protection. Comfort. Cost-Effective.

6 Provides ATPV > 8 cal/cm 2 protection (NFPA 70E Cat 2) Single Layer Lightweight Garment 7 oz/sy fabric NFPA 70E HRC 2 Single Layer Lightweight protection In a lightweight, single layer garment ATPV > 8 cal/cm 2 In a lightweight, single layer garment NFPA 70E Cat 2 Protection: Arc Flash Protection

7 Protection: Small Molten Metal Splash Protection Welding protection for light formation of spatters and drops TIG Welding, Gas Welding, and Spot Welding Meets international welding standard (EN ISO 11611) TIG Welding Gas Welding

8 Protection: Predicted Body Burn < 15% body burn per NFPA 2112 - minimum requirement 99% survivability Predictable protection that can help increase survivability to get you home safely Superior protection per weight ratio

9 Protection: Inherent Protection, Not Treated Inherent protection born into every fabric Protection cannot be washed out or worn away Doesn’t support combustion Won’t melt or drip

10 Comfort compared to FR treated cotton 50% less shrinkage after 25 washes Winning comfort attributes vs. competition Soft Smooth Supple Overall winner in key comfort criteria vs. competition Conducted independent study with IFTH, a leading institute on comfort Designed for optimal moisture management Absorbs moisture and dries quickly Low shrinkage results in better fit and retention of fit than FR treated cotton 33% Drier

11 Cost-Effective: Market Leading Durability Patent pending engineered blend Competitively priced for superior value in use Retains color and professional appearance after many industrial launderings Colors: Medium Blue, Khaki, and Navy (Red, Orange, and Royal Blue being developed) strength, durability, professional appearance industrial laundering tested 150X + compared to other industry blends 30% Better Color Retention % Higher Aramid Content = % Strength, Durability, Appearance

12 Next-Generation Multi-Hazard Performance Built on a Legacy of Trust

13 DuPont™ Nomex ® Brand Nomex ® has been proven Not only in laboratory and field tests, but in real-world scenarios for over 40 years Garments made of Nomex ® work in the toughest fires Over 95% of firefighter turnout gear contains Nomex® US warfighters and NASA have relied on the power of Nomex® Over 95% of racing pit crews world-wide trust Nomex®

14 Reliability Peace of Mind: Trusted and Tested Garments made of Nomex ® are subjected to rigorous testing Tested beyond the minimum standards Backed by DuPont science, innovation, and quality. Intense product stewardship

15 DuPont™ Nomex ® MHP: Backed by DuPont & Springfield DuPont & Springfield will help sell/pull-through Collaborating with your team Expanded end user thermal sales team Expanded channel management Strong connection to safety distributors through DuPont chemical industrial team Trusted FR educator and technical advisor Experienced technical and business development teams

16 Eclipsing the competition in multi-hazard protection

17 Appendix The Science of FR Innovation is Heating Up

18 Nomex ® MHP Spec Sheet Disclaimer This information is based upon technical data that DuPont believes to be reliable. It is subject to revision as additional knowledge and experience becomes available. DuPont does not guarantee results and assumes no obligation or liability in connection with this information. It is the user’s responsibility to determine the level of toxicity and the proper personal protective equipment needed. This information is intended for use by persons having the technical expertise to undertake evaluation under their own specific end-use conditions, at their own discretion and risk. Anyone intending to use this information should first check that the garment selected is suitable for the intended use. The end-user should discontinue use of garment if fabric becomes torn, worn or punctured, to avoid potential chemical exposure. Since conditions of use are beyond our control, we make no warranties, expressed or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose and assume no liability in connection with any use of this information.

19 Welding Protection (Small Molten Metal Splash): Meets ISO 11611 (No NA Standards Developed Yet)

20 Predicted Body Burn: Consistent Protection Against Unpredictable Fires Actual Garment Weight

21 Permanent: Inherent Protection is Permanent Per NFPA 2112 Requirement

22 Drying Rate: Nomex ® MHP Dries 33% Faster than FRTC, Keeping Wearers Comfortable

23 Weight: Actual Measured Weight more than 0.05 oz/sy lighter than competition

24 Comfort Nomex ® MHP is the overall winner on key comfort criteria while keeping the Nomex ® and Kevlar ® strength Goal: Qualify & quantify the consumer perceptions via a trained panel (sample of the population) Describe the products and perceptions with minimum words & a maximum of information Sensory method base on ISO13299 & ISO11035 IFTH (French Textile & Clothing Institute) – Cutting edge technology to develop and prove comfort vs. other fabrics Best scores for: Softness: “pleasant sensation to the touch” Smooth: “low perception of harshness” Thinnest: “low height of the samples perceived between fingers” Most drape: “it evaluates the falling of the material under its own weight” Least stiff: “capacity of the fabric to slide between fingers without resistance” Least voluminous: “perceived quantity of residual material after squeezing it on the hand” Crease recovery: “capacity of the fabric to recover its initial shape” Least nosy: “hearing perception resulting from the friction of the material with itself”

25 IFTH Comfort Study Results Based on this independent study, Nomex ® MHP is the clear winner in the comfort characteristics tested

26 compared to FR treated cotton Superior Durability (*from high aramid content) Overall, Nomex ® MHP will provide better durability than its competitors Break strength + Abrasion Resistance = Predicted Durability Predictions of long term durability come from the combination of performance in both abrasion and break strength after laundering. Nomex ® MHP abrasion actually improves with laundering and has great break strength. Nomex ® MHP break strength 60% higher than FR Treated Cotton The high aramid content of Nomex ® MHP provides superior abrasion resistance

27 Superior Professional Appearance and Longer Service Life DuPont is currently testing industrial laundering MHP fabrics/ garments and competitive fabrics. We will provide photos of garment performance and washed down fabric swatches, including competitive fabrics, to help sell with end users.

28 Nomex ® MHP Optimized protection, comfort, and cost-effectiveness
