ABOUT ADDITIVES INC.

Additives Inc. is a specialty chemical company that develops, manufactures, and markets performance products for a broad range of industries. Utilizing a strong technical base and unique chemical approaches, Additives Inc. has developed families of leading edge products including antifreeze additive packages, heat transfer fluid additive packages, glycol-based heat transfer fluids, non-glycol-based high-temperature heat transfer fluids, environmentally friendly heavy-duty industrial cleaning products, water treatment products and other industrial chemical products.

Our initial commercial products were additive packages developed for use with reclaimed and side stream glycols to make automotive and heavy-duty diesel antifreezes meeting ASTM specifications. Since the introduction of these unique products in 1995, Additives Inc. has added additive packages for virgin-glycol-based products in both the antifreeze and heat transfer fluid markets. This product group remains its largest single business area, and the focus of a major portion of its research and development effort.

Additives Inc. prides itself on its technical capabilities, which enable it to develop unique and superior products as it demonstrated in 1998 with the introduction of a series of non-hazardous, people-friendly, environmentally friendly heavy-duty industrial cleaning products. These cost-effective, water-based products that contain no hazardous ingredients, but perform as well as or better than the historical industry standards which contain hazardous ingredients such as caustics, glycol ethers, terpenes and solvents.

Extending the range of its heat-transfer fluid additive packages for glycol-based products, which are typically limited to maximum operating ranges of 250�F to 300�F, Additives Inc. makes a family of non-glycol-based finished heat transfer fluids which can operate as high as 650F. These alkylate-based products and diphenylene-oxide-based products find uses in refineries, pulp and paper processing, plastics molding, chemical processing, and other markets.

Additives Inc. also produces a full range of products for boiler feed water, cooling tower water treatment and heating/cooling system cleaning as well as other industrial chemical products including coal dust suppressants and chemical toilet products.

Manufacturing facilities are located in Denver, CO; Pueblo, CO; Los Angeles, CA; Dallas, TX; Hermitage, PA, and Erie, PA. Additives Inc. operates a sophisticated laboratory in Denver, Colorado, to conduct research and development of new products as well as extensive customer service. All of its manufacturing locations are ISO 9002 certified.

High Quality Products and Service

Additives Inc.'s involvement in the glycol blending and additive package (Add Pak) industry began with the successful formulation of Add Paks making it possible to blend high-quality antifreeze from most streams of recycled glycol. Our continuing commitment of resources to designing and producing the highest quality Add Paks for virgin and recycled glycol sets the standard for all of our product lines. The depth and breadth of Additives Inc.'s skill and experience in chemical research and development, performance testing, raw material procurement, process design and development, manufacturing, quality control and distribution, enable us to optimize the overall performance and economy of the products we supply to our customers. The correct use of our products, in conjunction with correctly prepared glycol, recycled glycol streams, and recycled antifreeze, will produce solutions meeting the appropriate ASTM Standards.

Product Guarantee and Competitive Pricing

Additives Inc. guarantees the competitive, flexible and cost-effective pricing of our products. By offering convenient container-size options, ranging from a gallon jug to bulk-tanker loads, we will make every effort to meet your specific needs and requirements. We will also provide small quantities of developmental products for testing programs.

Additives Inc. will only warranty our products if instructions and outlined procedures are followed. We will not warranty the Add Paks if the depleted antifreeze that is being recycled contains impurities that do not allow the recycled antifreeze to meet minimum ASTM standards. It is always necessary to confirm that your product meets the required specifications using the ASTM recognized tests and standards. Should you have a problem meeting your required specifications, Additives Inc. technical personnel will test your reprocessed and reconstituted antifreeze, while you establish use levels of our products.

Laboratory and Pilot Plant

Additives Inc. maintains its own laboratory and pilot plant, for developing new and custom-order products. Improving product performance and assisting our customers with their technical needs are laboratory priorities. We consider the long life and the dependability of a product, the compatibility with specific machinery, the temperature and the corrosion inhibition in a system, and the economics of use when we develop an Add Pak, or complete fluid system.

All of our products are mixed with deionized water, exclusively, which eliminates a source of potentially corrosive mineral salts. The benefits of blending and packaging our products in our own plants, under the attentive and direct supervision of our own technical experts, include consistently high-quality, extremely competitive pricing, and ready availability of all of our products.

Our policy of making our technical staff and laboratory resources available to our customers, often without charge, is the foundation of our customer service program, and is unique in the industry. Additives Inc.'s experienced chemists and engineers will assist you with system troubleshooting that may be necessary to help you optimize the use of our products. We routinely provide pre- and post-installation analysis and testing, and maintenance monitoring services at no additional charge.

Additives Inc.'s laboratory routinely processes samples from customers representing many industries across the country. We assist our customers with quality control, process control, problem solving, troubleshooting and product development. We believe that it is important to ensure that you obtain the best possible performance from our products, and our highly qualified technical staff will work with you toward this goal.

The identity and condition of all samples are recorded upon receipt and the unused portions are stored as retained samples for 6-12 months, depending upon the customer's preference. Samples are analyzed using the latest ASTM methods and all laboratory instruments are calibrated and standardized routinely.

Additives Inc. places a high priority on understanding and meeting our customers’ individual needs. We do not limit you in terms of the types of treatment programs that we offer. We will work with you to design a program that best meets your requirements in terms of treatment equipment, product selection, and testing/analysis.
