We protect... We care... We apply responsible care... YeeCEO Statement
These are exciting and challenging times in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as we move away from an
oil-dependent economy to a fully diversified industrial base. NAMA and its epoxy producing subsidiary, Jubail
Chemicals Industries (JANA) is playing an important role in this transition. By following the most rigorous
global standards for quality control and process management, we produce high-grade products that contribute
to the safety and the quality of lfe of millions of people. We are deploying world-class technology in all our
production plants and drawing on the finest expertise from around the world to implement best practices and
the most exacting intemational standards for the industry.
‘We have set ourselves the goal of becoming the fifth largest producer of epoxy in the world by 2017 by
inereasing our capacities as well as investing in our raw material production,

About Jana
JANA - Jubail Chemical Industries Company situated in the Industral City of Jubail, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is an
affiliate of Nama Chemicals and produces a range of Epoxy Resins - Liquid, Solution and Solid forms for a variety of
applications.
JANA markets their epoxy resins under two brand names - Araldite® and Razeen®. The Araldite® brand is over 50 years
old and very well known the world over. Its used under the license of Huntsman JANA also has developed their own
brand name, Razeen® under which they sell epoxy resins. Razeen® was introduced and launched in the year 2004 which
has found acceptability by most of the customers. Currently, under the Razeen® brand name, ll the products manufac
tured are look-a-like matching products to the Araldite® branded products licensed and sold by JANA. Jana produces
and markets quality epoxy resins to exacting standards relied upon by many of todays leaders in the coatings, resin,
composite and civil construction industries on a global basis.

_fora number of applications”
Applications
Epoxy resins are thermosetting resins cured and converted to a thermoset state by chemical reaction between the resin and a
curing agent. Depending upon the curing agent, this reaction can take place at elevated or at room temperature.
Most commonly used types are based on epichlorohydrin and bisphenol A and are available in range of molecular weights. The
ow molecular weight resins are liquid and high molecular weight resins are soli.
There are a number of properties of epoxy resin systems that influence the choice over other technologies in its application:
High chemical resistance against a wide range of corrosive conditions. This is derived from its chemical structure - Aromatic
backbone and the phenolic ether bond for chemical stability.
Very good adhesion to a wide range of substrates - metal, wood, concrete, glass, ceramic and others. This is obtained due to
the polar groups in the cured resin.
Low shrinkage and very good dimensional stability
Can be easly fabricated.
Good physical properties such as toughness, flexibility and abrasion resistance.
Good thermal properties.
‘The largest end-user industry isthe paint industry but the electrical industry is not far behind. Epoxy resins are used
extensively for a number of applications including those summarized below:
Coatings = maintenance & marine, can/oil, automotives, pipes, rebar
vil Engineering, = floorings, repair of mortars, crack injection
Structural Composites ~ laminates, filaments, mould pipes
Electrical / Electronics ~ printed circuit board, insulations, potting, encapsulation
Tooling & Adhesives ~ molding compounds
Resins - esterification as Vinyl or epoxy esters
~ actylation for uv cure
~ adduct formation for curing agents
= as curing agents for acrylic non isocyanate cure 2 component paintsThe properties of the basic bisphenol A resins can be modified in a variety of ways including combination
with reactive diluents, novolacs and bisphenol F resins. These modifications are usually made to achieve a
result for specific applications including a viscosity reduction for self levelling flooring and vacuum,
impregnation, to enable the formulation of a high solids or 100% solids liquid paint formulation or to
improve the surface activity of the resin and make the product self emulsifiable for the production of
water based coatings.
Jana has responded to these market needs by offering a carefully selected range of modified resins for
the ever increasing applications of epoxy resin globally. The main modifications have been chosen for
their reduced environmental impact and to help our partners to formulate tomorrows products for
todays world of ever more demanding legislation and performance criteriaEpoxy resins are cured by employing a reactive hardener such as amines, acid anhydrides, phenolic resins which combi
with,
epoxy and hydroxyl groups in the resin to form a thermoset product.
The most commonly used hardeners are polyfunctional amines, aliphatic amines, cycloaliphatic amines, aromatic amines,
polymide resins, acide anhydrides, phenolic resins, and few others. In order to get a finished product with durability and easy
application, a number of other additives may be added such as Accelerators, Flexibilizers, Reactive Diluents, Pigments, Fillers,
Solvents and other Additives.
Calculation of mix ratios for Razeen® Epoxy Resins
‘The Epoxy content ofthe resins given on the datasheet as either:
Epoxy Index (IE) Unit (Eq/Ke) or Equivalent Weight (EW) Unit (g/Eq)
‘The reactive groups of amine derived hardene's is given asthe:
‘Active Hydrogen Equivalent Weight (AHEW) or (H) Unit (g/Eq)
‘This is usually derived from the
Molecular Weight / [Link] Active Hydrogen
Example: Amine Hardener NH CHs-CHs -NH- Chi CHa - Ni
Molecular Weight 103.2 ew
nec 103.2/5 = 20.6
Epoxy Index x H+ Equivalent (AHEW)=ghardener/kgresin i.e. {Eq,/kgl x [g/£q.1= ghardener / kg resin
‘or more often
Foreach 100gofresin / EEWin{g/ Eq] x (H+ Equivalent) in [g / Eq.] = ghardener to cure 100 g of resin
imply (ANEW (H+) x 100) | EEW of the epoxy resin
Example Formulation using LR1150 with EEW 186 and curing agent with AHEW 20.6
20.6 x 1000 / 186 = 11.08 g hardener per 100g of LR1150
For blended systems or products containing either several epoxy types or pigments this becomes:
EEW (of Mixture) = Total Weight / (( Weight of component A / EEW A) + (Weight of component B / FEW 8) )
Example for a mix of 100 g each of two resins with EEW 186 (LR 1150 & LR 2257) and plus 200 g of fillers
and other non reactive elements
EEW of “base” is then 400 /( (100 /186) + (100 /186)) =372
hence the amount of curing agent 20.6 x 100 / 372 =5.54g“Epoxy resins are versatile and.
offer excellent adhesion”
Liquid Resins
Jana produces a wide range of epory resins for every application including : solvent free coatings, water based systems, vacuum,
based systems, vacuum impregnation, acrylition grades for UV cure resins, electro- deposition grades for vehicle coatings,
adhesives, windmills and civil construction. With track record spanning more that 60 years, epoxy resins are versatile and offer
excellent adhesion, chemical resistance, safety and compatibility

Solid Resins
Solid resins are available in a wide range of molecular weights to suit every application from powder coatings and epoxy ester
production to can and coil coatings meeting the requirements of the FDA. Functional powders play an important role in
prolonging the life of our concrete structures and with improved flow, powder coatings are used increasingly in industries
traditionally associated with liquid coatings including the automotive industry. Jana manufactures 7 and 9 type resins which can
not only be used for food contact materials meeting the requirements of the FDA but also cured with poly isocyanates to give
urethane epoxies for pilings, pipes and marine applications.
