On the basis of such examination, our reliance upon the assumptions in this opinion and our consideration of those questions of law we considered relevant, and subject to the limitations and qualifications in this opinion, we are of the opinion that:

1. Assuming the due authorization by Hexion Nova Scotia Finance, ULC, when issued, executed, delivered and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Registered Exchange Offer and the Indenture (each as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of November 3, 2006, among the Issuers, Hexion Specialty Chemicals, Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.), the Exchange Notes will be the legally valid and binding obligations of the Issuers, enforceable against the Issuers in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance laws) and by general principles of equity including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and possible judicial action giving effect to governmental actions or foreign laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

2. Assuming due authorization of the Guarantees by Hexion Specialty Chemicals Inc., when the Exchange Notes have been issued, executed and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Registered Exchange Offer and the Indenture, the Guarantees of each Guarantor with respect to the Exchange Notes will be the legally valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor, as the case may be, in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance laws), the effect of the eighth article of the certificate of incorporation of Lawter International Inc., and by general principles of equity including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and possible judicial action giving effect to governmental actions or foreign laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

With respect to the opinions in paragraphs 1 and 2, relating to matters of due authorization of the Exchange Notes and the Guarantees, we have assumed the matters set forth
