Industrial Nanotech, Inc., an
emerging global leader in nanotechnology, announced today that the
Company has successfully added effective fire suppression technology to
its Nansulate
EPX product line of energy saving epoxy coatings.
"The addition of fire suppression technology into our new
upcoming Nansulate EPX product line is a significant breakthrough",
explained Stuart Burchill, CEO/CTO of Industrial Nanotech, Inc.
"Combining this valuable performance quality with the coating's
existing abilities to provide thermal insulation, corrosion protection,
increased chemical resistance, a quick cure time, resistance to growth
of mold, effectiveness as a lead abatement coating, and the ability to
be applied from a fraction of an inch thick to several inches thick
creates a product that provides unique and critical value added
propositions for many industries around the world including
manufacturing, oil and gas, biodiesel, chemical processing, residential
and commercial construction, military equipment and facilities, power
plants, and ship building and retrofit."
Mr. Burchill continues, "We will include all necessary
standard testing data in the product release material, but a simple
laboratory test we recently conducted illustrates the effectiveness. We
coated a piece of cardboard from a standard cardboard box with an
approximately one eighth inch thick coating of Nansulate EPX and
applied the flame of a blow torch directly to the coated side for
almost ten minutes. The coating never ignited, no smoke was observed,
the flame of the blow torch never penetrated the coating, and the
cardboard was sufficiently insulated from the heat of the blowtorch
flame to avoid any charring or damage. The ramifications of this
technological accomplishment are far reaching."
