Trinseo Automotive to Introduce ENLITE Polymers

New Lightweight, Semi-Structural Products at VDI Conference
Horgen, Switzerland March 16, 2015 Trinseo, (NYSE: TSE), the global materials company and
manufacturer of plastic, latex and rubber, is set to participate in the 2015 International VDI Conference
Plastics in Automotive Engineering. The VDI Conference serves as an excellent opportunity for Trinseo
Automotive, previously known as Styron, to showcase its top-notch engineering capabilities and commercial
successes with key global automotive players throughout the industry.
This year Trinseo Automotive will highlight the launch of the ENLITE line of structural polymers targeted at
semi-structural applications, and a new commitment to innovative solutions in lightweight technologies for
external and internal automotive parts.
Trinseos team at its Application Engineering and Design Centre collaborates closely with our customers
from the design stage onwards on current and future challenges in the automotive industry by offering a
complete range of resins for lightweight technologies, said Anis Tebib, Marketing Manager for Trinseo
Automotive. Our fully integrated team ensures a regular cycle of innovation, bringing a multi-dimensional,
dynamic approach to ensure part optimization. ENLITE Structural Polymers are the result of a clear focus
in research and development on structural polymers for semi-structural applications in cars.
Specifically, Trinseo Automotive will focus on two lines for semi-structural applications, ENLITE Long
Glass Fiber Polypropylene (LGF-PP) and ENLITE Glass Fiber (GF) Alloys. These are the first of many
glass fiber products from Trinseo, providing automotive manufacturers with a broad range of solutions for
the challenges they face.
ENLITE Structural Polymers use technologies that can replace existing materials such as steel and
aluminum with lighter, globally available, cost-efficient solutions. Trinseo Automotive is exploring further
solutions to offer automotive manufacturers a broad range of ENLITE products and global semi-structural
solutions in the near future and for years to come.

ENLITE LGF-PP provides a lightweight alternative to help customers meet market regulations
regarding vehicle weight. With a 60% glass concentrate system, which is diluted with neat
polypropylene, customers have the flexibility to achieve the direct proportion of glass they need.

One example featured at VDI is the development of the lift-gate and front-end module of the new
Renault Espace, which was designed with LGF-PP polymers from Trinseo. This innovation is part of
a long-term collaboration between Renault and Trinseo Automotive, which began with a real serial
life solution in the Renault Clio.
Like ENLITE LGF-PP, ENLITE GF-Alloys offer lightweight optimization and customer flexibility.
This product provides a bridge between the glass-filled polypropylene solutions of today and the
enhanced carbon fiber solutions of the future. ENLITE GF-Alloys tackle specific areas in which
process constraints are difficult to overcome. For example, when the design of the part necessitates
thick walls to meet stiffness requirements, or the elimination of steel reinforcements, GF-Alloys
provide an optimal solution. The first product designed in the GF-Alloys range is the GF-ABS alloy,
which is a glass concentrate diluted with ABS.

With the ENLITE family of structural polymers, Trinseo is providing glass fibre solutions for today and
tomorrow.
