, such as curing agents, matting agents, accelerators, cross-linkers, reactive diluents, thermoplastic polyamides, and additives. In addition to these components, which it sells to formulators in various industries, the company produces and sells ready to use formulated polymer systems. Base Resins and Specialty Component Markets: The company’s products are used in the formulation of products for the protection of steel and concrete substrates, such as flooring, metal furniture and appliances, buildings, linings for storage tanks and food and beverage cans, and the primer coat of automobile bodies and ships. Base resins and specialty components are also used for composite applications. The company’s product range comprises basic and advanced epoxy resins, curing agents and other advanced chemicals, additives, and formulated polymer systems. The four primary target markets for its structural composites are aerospace, windmill blades for wind power generation, general industrial and automotive applications, and recreational products (primarily sports equipment, such as skis). Formulated Systems: The company’s business focus is on engineering adhesives based on epoxy, polyurethane, acrylic, and other technologies, which are used to bond materials, such as steel, aluminum, engineering plastics, and composites in substitution of traditional joining techniques. Its Araldite brand name has considerable value in the industrial and consumer adhesives markets. In various countries, Araldite branded products are known for their adhesive capabilities. Its range of adhesives is sold in various packs and sizes, targeted to three specific end markets and sold through targeted routes to market: General Industrial Bonding: The company sells a range of advanced formulated adhesives to a base of small-to medium-sized customers, including specialty distributors. Industry Specific: The company sells its adhesive products on a global basis into various industry-specific markets, which include the aerospace, wind turbine, liquefied natural gas transport, filter bonding, solar cell, and other industrial application markets. Consumer/DIY: The company packages and sells consumer adhesives through strategic distribution arrangements with various major marketers of consumer/DIY adhesives, such as Vynex, Velcro, and Selleys. These products are sold worldwide through various major retail outlets, under the Araldite brand name. The company’s electrical materials are formulated polymer systems, which make up the insulation materials used in equipment for the generation, transmission, and distribution of electrical power, such as transformers, switch gears, ignition coils, sensors, motors, and magnets, and for the protection of electrical and electronic devices and components. The purpose of these products is to insulate, protect, or shield either the environment from electrical current or electrical devices from the environment, such as temperature or humidity. Its electrical insulating materials target two primary market segments, such as the heavy electrical equipment market and the light electrical equipment market. Products for the heavy electrical equipment market segment are used in power plant components, devices for power grids, and insulating parts and components. In addition, there are various devices, such as motors and magnetic coils used in trains and medical equipment, which are manufactured using epoxy and related technologies. Products for the light electrical equipment market segment are used in applications, such as industrial automation and control, consumer electronics, automotive electronics, and electrical components. The end customers in the electrical insulating materials market include the relevant original equipment manufacturer, as well as various manufacturers of components used in the final products. The company also develops, manufactures, and markets materials used in the production of printed circuit boards. Its products are used in industries ranging from telecommunications and personal computer mother board manufacture to automotive electronic systems manufacture. Soldermasks are its primary prod
