No. Mr. ^cirtnur u^ocnmzer Vice- President, Research & Development Bird &'on, Inc. Washing tcfr>~5treet East Walpole, MA 02032 Dear Mr. Schnizer: The Shikoku Kaken Kogyo Company, Ltd. (SKK), one of Japan's leading coating chemical and fine chemical companies, has developed, patented and commercialized an innovative, lightweight foaming material that is non-flammable, heat resistant, waterproof, soundproof, insulating and durable. . FOAM CERABON is a completely inorganic material that is easily foamed by mixing two components together and then sprayed, trowelled or poured at low temperature. It is being sold in Japan to the construction industry for use in buildings, warehouses, plants, ships, and the like, for the following main applications: 1) Fireproof protection on folded metal plate 2) Fireproof protection on iron frame pillar 3) Heat-insulation on concrete walls 4) Heat insulating and fireproof partition 5) Backup insulator for precast concrete 6) Fi redoor 7} Fireproof coat on urethane foam 8) Insulation and fire proofing between two concentric plastic or metal pipes The primary merits of FOAM CERABON are as follows: 1) Complete non-combustibility 2) High heat resistance 3) Heat insulating 4) Lightweight 5) Soundproof 6) Good dew condensation resistance 7) High adhesion rate 8} Excellent resistance to thermal cycling BIRD 013889 Sept. 24, 1982 Page 2 Mr. Schnizer Mitsubishi International Corporation On behalf of Shikoku Kaken Kogyo Company, Ltd., we at Mitsubishi International Corporation are pleased to offer FOAM CERABON for either product sales or for licensing in the United States.

BIRD 013891 PROJECT NOTE FOAM CERABON Robert Benditt Manager Technology 6 Development Mitsubishi International Corporation (212) 605-2334 THE COMPANY Shikoku Kaken Kogyo Company, Ltd. (SKK), is one of Japan's leading coating and fine chemical companies. Formed in 1955, its main product lines are: -Inorganic Polymer Coatings for Buildings -Organic Composite Textural Coatings -Inorganic Silicate Baking - Type Coatings -Inorganic Foaming Insulator at Ambient Temperature (FOAM CERABON) -Wallpapers -Paints and special coatings II. THE PRODUCT FOAM CERABON is an inorganic, lightweight construction material that foams and hardens after a simple mixing process. It presently comes in three types depending on the application and the properties desired. Typical properties of the three types are as follows: Slurry property Bulk density Foaming ratio Compressive strength (kg/cm2) Thermal conductivity (kg/cm2) Type M Alkaline 0.30 3.3 3.0-6.0 0.048 Type K Alkaline 0.35 3.0 7.0-10.0 0.074 Type L Acid 0.10-0.80 1.2-10.0 1.0-10.0 0.06-0.15 2 BIRD 013893 The foaming ratio curve is as follows: Foaming ratio curve by time at 25 deg.C foaming ft heightening (re la tiv e height) III. THE ADVANTAGES Non-Combustibility/High Heat Resistance Because of its completely inorganic composition, it is non-combustible, smokeless, and has high heat resistance; i.e., 1000bC. The following comparative fire test was performed with urethane, styrene and FOAM CERABON. Test Piece Uretheme foam (20 mm) Sytrene foam (20 mm) FOAM CERABON (10 mm) Test Result Immediately iqnited with smoke Immediately melted and collapsed No ignition and no smoke 3 BIRD 013894 Excellent Insulation Properties Owing to the many fine pores in the matrix, it has superior heat insulating properties and stable, low thermal conductivity from cold to extremely hot conditions.
