Also gains capacity to supply higher-performance resins for packaging with termination of swap deal.

MORRIS TOWNSHIP, N.J., April 17, 2007 - Honeywell (NYSE: HON) Resins & Chemicals announced today that is
has increased its nylon resin availability by 10 percent through a series of productivity improvements.
The company also announced it has also gained capacity to supply higher viscosity resins used for packaging
with the end of an existing swap agreement with BASF.

"We remain committed to the resins marketplace," said Qamar Bhatia, vice president and general manager for
Honeywell Resins & Chemicals. "Our productivity improvements further strengthen Honeywell's position to supply
nylon resin and the end of our swap agreement will allow us to provide more, higher-performance resin to a
broader range of customers."

The company realized the increase in resin capacity through a series of productivity improvement efforts at its Chesterfield, Va. facility, which is its main production facility for nylon resin.

The company also said its nylon resin swap agreement with BASF will terminate May 1. As a result of the termination, Honeywell will have a greater supply of high-viscosity resins, which are more suitable for packaging applications. Those resins had previously been subject to the swap.

The agreement had been in effect since May 2003 as a part of the transaction in which Honeywell sold its engineering plastics business to BASF in exchange for BASF's nylon fiber business.

Honeywell Resins & Chemicals produces nylon resins under the Aegis® brand for a wide range of product applications, including food packaging and injection molding applications. Consumer packaging films produced with Aegis nylon resins offer excellent strength, tear and puncture resistance during transport. Applications include air cellular cushioning products, which provide protection from product damage during shipment.

Honeywell Resins & Chemicals also offers basic grades of nylon 6 polymer that can be user enhanced and modified to meet the specific requirements for injection molded applications. These general purpose resins exhibit excellent molding and extrusion characteristics, which make them versatile and flexible products that are suitable for numerous applications.
