Mercury Transition Plan
• The North American Chlor Alkali industry has been moving
away from manufacturing chlorine and caustic soda using
mercury cell technology due to customer product de-selection
and threats of potential legislation

Why Industrial Bleach?
• Olin is the leading North American bleach producer with 18% market
share and current installed capacity to service 25% of the market with
low-cost expansion opportunities
share and current installed capacity to service 25% of the market with
low-cost expansion opportunities
• Bleach utilizes both chlorine and caustic soda in an ECU ratio
• Bleach commands a premium price over an ECU
• Demand is not materially impacted by economic cycles
• Regional nature of the bleach business benefits Olin’s geographic
diversity, further enhanced by Olin’s proprietary railcar technology to
reach distant customers

reach distant customers
• Low salt, high strength bleach investment will lower freight costs
• Bleach volumes accounted for almost 10% of total 2010 ECUs
produced; these volumes are expected to grow to 15% to 20% in 2011
