Hospital acquired infections are the fourth

Deadly Admissions Hospital-Acquired Infections
Are 4th-Largest Killer in U.S., But Ohioans
Cannot Get Statistics to Compare Facilities By
Tracy Wheeler, The Akron Beacon Journal, Ohio
Jan. 9--But for 20 million Americans each year
-- about one in every 10 to 20 patients -- a trip
to the hospital results in dangerous, lingering
infections, whether through surgery, dialysis,
ventilators, IVs, or catheters. At an estimated
90,000 deaths a year, these hospital-acquired
infections kill as many people in the United
States as AIDS, breast cancer and car accidents
combined. (Sourcehttp//www.redorbit.com/news/he

The issue is significant and actions are being
taken Timing is right

The ProblemValue Proposition Safety and
Economics
Healthcare related organizations develop more
stringent standards

• The Center for Disease Control (CDC) puts out
  Guidelines for Disinfection and Sterilization in
  Healthcare Facilities, 2008 outlining
• Harsher disinfection chemicals
• More frequent cleaning
• The Joint Commission (TJC) incorporates tougher
  disinfection protocols in their guides for high
  risk environments in hospitals such as emergency
  and operating rooms, trauma bays, procedure
  rooms.
• The Result Traditional wall paints are not
  holding up long term to the increased scrubbing
  and harsher chemicals

6
The ProblemValue Proposition Safety and
Economics
Meanwhile, insurers recognize the issue and take
action

• Medicare changes their insurance protocols
• As of January 2009, will not pay for Hospital
  Acquired Infections (HAI)
• Treatment costs will belong to the hospital
• Soon after, most major medical insurers follow
• The Result Hospitals enact increased
  preventative measures to greatly reduce the
  chance for HAI for patient safety and economic
  viability

Defining the ProblemMultiple Points in the Value
Chain

• To define the unmet need, we engaged
  stakeholders
• Hospital Facility Managers
• Architect/Spec Writers
• Hospital Administrators
• Painting Contractors
• Hospital Accreditation Organizations
• And listened to how they defined the problem

9
Research from Key Hospital PersonnelGoal Reduce
repaint cycle, keep areas safe, save money

• After listening, we heard that they wanted
• A more durable, scrubbable wall coating in the
  high risk areas
• A very low odor coating that would not disrupt
  operations
• Warmer eggshell or matte coatings but still
  have durability
• An easier to clean and seamless surface
• Less downtime in these high operating cost areas
• To use their in-house painters more on patient
  rooms and hallways

The Value PropositionFrom the Hospitals Point
of View
For the hospital administrator who is concerned
with meeting the CDC protocols without
sacrificing aesthetics and durability, a new high
durability coating technology has been developed
for rooms requiring frequent cleaning that offers
improved durability and resistance to harsh
cleaners and disinfectants without sacrificing
appearance.

• Compared with conventional wall paint
• 4x more durable and scrub-able
• Same ease of use, color palette, and low gloss
  finish
• Compared to tile
• 4-5x lower cost
• Better design latitude for future color schemes

The HD Wall Coating TechnologyArchitectural Wall
Paint Alternative

• Two Component Waterborne Polyurethane Technology
• Built on Bayers HD Wall Coating Technology
• Attributes
• High Durability even in an eggshell or flat
  finish
• Silky surface makes cleaning easier
• Excellent chemical and disinfectant resistance
• Very low odor during installation and drying
• Ultra low VOC and solvent at 15g/l or less
• Same color palette as traditional architectural
  wall paint

15
The Technology2K Waterborne Coatings

• Waterborne Technologies
• 2K chemistry with excellent
• overall properties
• Water is Green
• Early waterborne coatings had as much as 300g/l
  of co-solvent
• New commercial systems are now at 0-15 g/L
• Offer viable replacement products to solventborne
  epoxy or polyurethane systems

16
The Technology2K Waterborne Coatings

• Chemistry
• 2K aliphatic polyurethane based on polyurethane
  or polyacrylate dispersions and aliphatic
  isocyanates
