Dyno Nobel Announces Partnership with Cervantes-Delgado (CDI) to Market DYNOx™ in North America

Dyno Nobel Americas today announced a long-term Supply Agreement with Cervantes-Delgado, Inc. (CDI) of Brea, California to distribute, in parts of North America, DYNOx™ (high purity urea and urea solutions) and anhydrous ammonia which reduce nitrous oxide gas emissions.

Dyno Nobel Americas Vice President / Commercial Nitrogen, Mr Bill Barnett said that, for the past several years, anhydrous ammonia has been used throughout the United States as an effective reductant of nitrogen oxide emissions (NOx). “These products help to reduce the collective negative environmental impact by reducing the nitrous oxide gasses which are emitted from power plants and diesel equipment,” Mr Barnett said.

“Urea and urea solutions are becoming increasingly popular in this same market due to their ease of
handling and non-toxic classification. Dyno Nobel’s consistent high purity and formaldehyde-free DYNOx™
urea solutions make them ideal products for use in Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems,” added Mr
Barnett.

According to Mr Barnett, DYNOx32, a Diesel Exhaust Fluid, in particular, specifically meets the requirements
outlined by the international specifications DIN V 70070 and ISO 22241-1:2006 and is designed for
applications that include diesel-powered automobiles, large and small trucks as well as locomotives, marine
engines, large cranes and construction and mining equipment.

The DYNOx products are sourced from Dyno Nobel’s nitrogen products manufacturing facilities in St. Helens,
Oregon; Cheyenne, Wyoming; Louisiana, Missouri; Donora, Pennsylvania; and Maitland, Ontario, Canada.
