A Sustainable Rubber SourceGuayule shrub used for over a century for rubber…..
1900: First commercial use in North America producing millions of pounds
1940: $75 million invested ($928M , in 2011 $) in 45,000acres (WWII project)
2000: Yulex grows 3,500 acres to prove agronomy and economics
2003: Develops strong IP portfolio to protect company and customers
2006: Builds pilot plant to validate aqueous extraction process
2008: Semi-industrial facility (Ceres) online. Exam glove FDA approval
2010: Yulex develops first biobased closed cell foam to replace neoprene
2011: Commercial facility (Demeter) launched at Chandler, AZ
2012: Yulex Partners with Cooper Tire, USDA-ARS to develop 100% guayule

Guayule Agriculture & Crop Science Guayule is a perennial, non-
food crop
1-2 years to first harvest, then
annual harvests (variety
dependent)
Grows successfully in marginal
land
Low water usage compared w/
cotton/alfalfa (~ 6 acre ft./yr)
18+ Tons of Residual Dry
Biomass/Acre
Tremendous upside through
Agroscience development
activities
Aligns with existing agronomic
practices (automated)
High output=1 Ton
Rubber/Acre/Year, already
equal to SE Asian rubber
plantations (per acre basis)

Rubber• Rubber exhibits unique physical
and chemical properties
– 40,000 products
• Most rubber comes from petroleum (synthetic)
• All other rubber is tropical rubber derived from the Brazilian Rubber Tree
• South East Asia produces >90% of the global natural rubber supply
