CPFilms(R) Precision Coated Launches New Products for the Electronic Display
Market

ST. LOUIS, May 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CPFilms(R) Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Solutia Inc. (NYSE: SOA), and the world's leading manufacturer
and marketer of precision coated films for industrial, commercial and solar
applications, announced the launch of their new Invisible ITO and Low Color b
ITO polyester films for touch screen display applications.

Both Invisible ITO and Low Color b ITO polyester films were developed in
response to new technology in the touch panel market. The Invisible ITO film
minimizes or eliminates obvious signs of etching while creating a smooth
appearance on touch screens. The demand for negative b ITO provides a neutral
to bluish appearance on touch screens and helps eliminate the yellow color in
some applications.

"As part of CPFilms, Precision Coated Films has a long history of innovation
and staying on the forefront of technology. These latest product announcements
are a result of the wide range of processes we have access to in-house which
makes us stand out in the industry," said Scott Morris, general manager of
Precision Coated Films. These announcements follow the August 2008 launch of a
premium clean, very low tack, and optically clear protective masking film.
