Decheng Technology AG: New research co-operation with Chinese Academy of Sciences

- R&D co-operation agreement signed with Haixi Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences

- Development of halogen free flame retardant phosphorus polyester polyols

- Demand for safer PU products likely to grow

- Company presentation at the German Equity Forum in Frankfurt on November 21, 2016

Cologne, November 17, 2016. Decheng Technology AG (ISIN: DE000A1YDDM9; German Securities Identification Number (WKN): A1YDDM; ticker symbol: 333), announced that a research and development agreement has been signed between its subsidiary Quanzhou Decheng Tech Resin Co., Ltd, Quangang, Fujian Province, PRC, and the Haixi Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences (Fujian Material Structure Institute).

The co-operation involves the development of halogen free flame retardant phosphorus polyester polyols and has a duration of three years. The polyols offer a range of benefits such as thermal stability and flame retardancy and are free from hazardous halogen emission. These safer polyols are used to enhance - amongst others - the properties of textiles, synthetic leathers and cushioning materials. China's ongoing urbanization, a growing GDP and the shift towards a more consumption-driven economy are likely to boost demand for safer products in the near future thus offering a growth market for the Company to enter.

Xiaofang Zhu, CEO of Decheng: "Research and development is at the core of our Company's DNA. We are driven by innovation and our passion to produce the best product for our customers. In order to stay ahead of the competition, we co-operate with universities and research institutions. We are thus happy that an agreement with the renowned Haixi Institute has been reached and are confident that we will be able to produce new innovative products based on this research in the future."

The Company will participate in the German Equity Forum (www.eigenkapitalforum.com) in Frankfurt from November 21 to November 23 and will hold a presentation on November 21 at 5.00 pm in room Zurich.
