³ MARKETFORECASTS Alumina Production Expected to Increase in China Research and Markets recently announced the availability of a new report, “China Alumina Industry Report, 2010.” China abounds in bauxite resources, with the majority of supply coming from Guangxi (26.9%), Henan (26.0%), Guizhou (24.3%) and Shanxi (13.7%); basic reserves reached 839 million tons in 2009. The output of alumina in China was 23.83 million tons in 2009, 99% of which was contributed by Henan, Shandong, Guangxi, Shanxi and Guizhou. The development of alumina in China is closely related to electrolytic aluminum when it comes to supply, demand and price. In general, about 1.98 tons of alumina are needed to produce 1 ton of electrolytic aluminum, thus the production scale of electrolytic aluminum directly determines alumina demand. In recent years, China has seen expanding capacity for electrolytic aluminum, which has facilitated the rocketing demand for alumina in the market and caused the subsequent alumina overcapacity. The capacity of alumina in 2006 was less than 2000 tons, while it reached 26.53 million tons in 2007 and exceeded 30 million tons in 2008. Impacted by the financial crisis, the growth rate of alumina capacity in 2009 dropped 25.3 percentage points from a year earlier. With the restart of domestic electrolytic aluminum capacity in 2010, China’s alumina manufacturers are active in expanding their capacities, with the identified and newly increased capacity expecting to reach 7.9 million tons by the end of the year.

Lightweight Materials for Transportation Market Expected to Increase The global market value for lightweight materials used in transportation equipment was an estimated $95.5 billion in 2010. The market is expected to increase to nearly $125.3 billion in 2015, for a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. According to a new report, “Lightweight Materials in Transportation,” the consumption of these materials is projected to reach 67.7 million tons in 2015 after rising at a CAGR of 7.7% from its 2010 figure of 46.7 million tons. Reducing structural weight is one of the most important ways of reducing fuel consumption and improving the performance of motor vehicles and other types of transportation equipment. For example, an estimated 75% of the average motor vehicle’s fuel consumption is directly related to factors associated with vehicle weight. Less weight, consistent with other performance and safety requirements, means more useful work can be extracted from a unit of fuel or other energy source. In addition, weight-reducing technologies are critical to the success of new, highly efficient energy technologies such as hybrid vehicles.

Global Fuel Cell Shipments Doubled Between 2008 and 2010 The adoption of fuel cell-powered products is gathering increasing momentum in a variety of application areas, according to a new report. The shift from an R&D-based industry to a fully commercial one is well under way, though it has not been without its setbacks. Fuel cells are now being deployed for applications as diverse as residential power, off-grid mobile communications sites in Africa, low-carbon transportation, and electrical grid reliability. According to a new report from Pike Research, global fuel 10


cell shipments doubled between 2008 and 2010, from approximately 7500 units to more than 15,000 units annually during that period. “The reasons for the groundswell of interest in fuel cells are as varied as the sectors that are implementing the technology,” said Kerry-Ann Adamson, research director. “Industry and government leaders are finding that fuel cells are a highly effective tool for deploying reliable, clean power for stationary, portable, and transport applications.” Adamson adds that the largest fuel cell unit growth has been in the stationary power sector, which represented approximately 60% of shipments during 2010. Demand for stationary fuel cells is being driven by a number of early adopter sectors, including the Japanese market for residential units, power for grid-tied and off-grid mobile base stations globally, and combined heat and power (CHP) plants for a variety of markets (e.g., hospitals and hotels). Portable fuel cells have had their ups and downs over the past two years, with a temporary spike in shipments created by the sale of 3000 Toshiba Dynario external battery rechargers in 2009, followed by a sharp decline in total sales in 2010. Significant volumes for transportation fuel cells in cars and buses are still several years away, as automakers gear up for fuel cell vehicle (FCV) launches in 2015, though shipments from the auxiliary power unit (APU) sector continue to increase year-on-year.

Automotive MEMS Show Solid Growth Automotive safety systems are found in a growing number of vehicles, and shipments of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS ), which are crucial to their operation, are increasing even faster. According to a new report from ABI Research, nearly 100 million airbag, tire pressure monitoring and electronic stability (ESP) safety systems that use MEMS shipped worldwide during 2010. These products contained more than 300 million MEMS chips. In 2016, about 150 million systems are expected to be installed in vehicles, but the number of MEMS they contain will have rocketed to over 830 million. MEMS generally fall into three main categories—accelerometers, pressure sensors and gyroscopes. One technical trend is to integrate several sensors, or types of sensor, on a single chip. A related trend is to make a single MEMS do double or triple duty in the service of several safety systems. However, more important than any of these is the single largest driver of the automotive MEMS and safety systems market: government mandates. When governments make safety systems mandatory, MEMS suppliers see a big benefit.

North American Powder Metallurgy Industry Rebounds The North American powder metallurgy (PM) industry regained its growth momentum in 2010 after five dismal years of declining demand, according to Michael E. Lutheran, president of the Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF). While the rebound can be largely pinned on the increase in light-vehicle sales, other end markets also gained, he said. PM’s design engineering advantages, contributions to sustainability, and proven economies are stronger than ever.

EuroCeramic operates one plant in the Netherlands and generated revenues of approximately €21 million (~ $29 million) with roughly 100 employees in 2010. “The acquisition represents an important step in the expansion of our market position,” said Heimo Scheuch, CEO of Wienerberger AG. “We have now created a strong basis for further growth in the area of ceramic pipe systems.” The company’s ceramic pipes for wastewater disposal are reportedly a high-quality niche product with outstanding material properties that include compressive strength, density, and hardness, combined with high abrasion and corrosion resistance, and a long service life. There is reportedly a significant need for replacement and repairs in many West European markets, while large parts of Eastern Europe must first be developed. “The integration of these two companies will give us a highly effective organization for the European market that will allow us to optimally develop the available opportunities,” said Gernot Schöbitz, managing director of Steinzeug.

Lower costs and improve your Ceramic Glaze and Body Formulations with

In Natural and Frit Glaze Suspensions: • Acti-Gel®208 greatly improves adhesive strength by >80% which helps to reduce surface defects and glaze chipping from handling and shipping. • Acti-Gel®208 eliminates other mineral thickeners and reduces cellulose ethers in glaze formulations. • Acti-Gel®208 should be used without Phosphates Dispersants such as SHMP or STPP which chelate excess ions thereby de-activating Acti-Gel®208. • By using Acti-Gel®208 to reduce Cellulose Ethers and eliminate Phosphate Dispersants, the negative effects of Sodium are greatly

reduced, allowing for increased adhesion strengths and reduced surface defects. • Acti-Gel®208 allows the glaze to dry rapidly without cracking. • Acti-Gel®208 is added directly to the mill for ease of dispersion and for ease of glaze removal from ball mill. • Acti-Gel®208 based glazes are highly stable and can sit, without settling or hardpacking, for >30 days. • Acti-Gel®208 works efficiently in Suspensions from 25% to 80% solids. • Acti-Gel®208 contains no sulphates

In Ceramic Body Formulations: • Acti-Gel®208 is an excellent flow aid, binder and reinforcing agent in extrusion and dry press applications.

Acti-Gel®208 features and benefits: • Lowers Formulation Costs! • Increases adhesion strength! • Dewaters Rapidly! • Allows more efficient use and faster batch addition times. • Excellent Anti-Settling and Anti-Sag properties. • Low yield point of gel structures allows for quick, easy flow under shear conditions.

• Ultra fine particle size gives excellent performance in spray and curtain coating applications. • Reduces extrusion pressures and improves forming and green strength. • Very low free crystalline silica (less than 1%), Grit Free. • Low free Moisture: Typical is 5%-8% FM.
