We combine in-house technology and 3rd party supply to best advantage Core Technological Ingredients in paint manufacture With in-house technology:

Latex

• Having in-house technology gives us both product and cost advantages

With external supply:

• Unlike most paint companies, we do not rely heavily on third-party suppliers for our technological ingredients

Resins

• We can produce to the specification of our end formulations • We can develop AkzoNobel patented, truly differentiated products

Colourants Opaque polymers

• We can take advantage of price opportunities

Spotlight on Decorative Paints – 1 December 2011

We address and solve end-user problems common to multiple markets “How can I get the right colour for my room when there are so many to choose from…?”

• Different markets have more innovation requirements in common than they do differences

“II want to be sure that all products I use are safe for my family and for the environment” “I want my home to look unique and reflect who I am, but I’m not sure where to start” “I would love to paint myy bedroom, bed oo , but I do don’tt do DIY and can’t afford a decorator”

“I want to use products that are kinder to the environment i tb butt I don’t d ’t want to compromise on quality”

“Painting the outside of my home is expensive and difficult so, when I do a job, I want it to look good for at least 10 years” Source: Consumer research across 28 countries

• Coming up with a solution in one market and then leveraging it into others makes our innovation process faster and more efficient • We have made this possible ibl b by reformulating f l i some 80% of our product base, reducing the number of formulations and raw materials
