Polymers:

AT Plastics Across North America, the electrical industry has been searching for ways to increase the lifespan and reduce the failure rate and cost of power cables. AT Plastics introduced customers to its Aqua-Link specialty compounds - originally licensed from Mitsubishi Petrochemical - providing excellent performance and significant cost savings over traditional materials used to insulate low voltage power cable.
A number of large cable manufacturers now use our Aqua-Link product at their North American plants. Aqua-Link provides excellent growth opportunities, in a market with a potential size of $100 million in Canada and the United States.

Sales of high EVA copolymers to the adhesives market increased grown to about 13 per cent of Polymers' sales, compared to 2 per cent in 1989. Our customer list includes large international customers as well as about 25 smaller manufacturers in Canada, the United States and Pacific Rim.

Sales have grown substantially in the thermal Laminations market in which AT Plastics has a large market share. Sales of medium EVA copolymers to this market have grown to about 14% of Polymer Sales, as compared to about 2% in 1989. In the future, we expect to increase sales as our customers expand their operations significantly.

We are collaborating with customers and equipment suppliers on the development of new technology for the production of micro-cellular foams. These foams are used in the manufacture of sport shoes and other goods, and the new process could significantly lower costs for this industry.
