Industrial Nanotech,
Inc. (Pink Sheets: INTK), an emerging global leader in nanotechnology, announced
today that the Company is launching a grassroots campaign through their website,
blog and social networking sites to introduce their patented, award-winning
Nansulate® energy saving technology to every state governor in order to
assist them with their goals of energy efficiency and reduced energy costs.
“Based upon the new American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, and
in agreement with President Obama’s initiative to become a more energy
efficient nation, many states are examining ways to meet the challenge,”
stated Francesca Crolley, V.P. Operations & Marketing, Industrial Nanotech,
Inc. “Our Nansulate nanotechnology based coatings provide a very affordable
way for increasing the thermal insulation value of homes and buildings and significantly
reducing energy costs. Nansulate has been mentioned in nanotechnology reports
by the governments of the UK and Australia, and has provided energy savings
for industrial facilities, public and commercial buildings, manufacturing facilities
and homes worldwide for over 5 years now. We agree with the EPA's 2007 Nanotechnology
White Paper that adoption of new technologies is vital to the success of meeting
energy reduction goals, and our technology is one that addresses that call.
We feel a responsibility to make those in government aware of the unique benefits
and immediate cost savings that our coatings can provide them, which has spurred
us to take a step forward and contact each and every governor, and invite our
supporters - ‘NanoPioneers’ - to join us in this initiative, through
video and social network interaction. We can make a real difference in reduction
of reliance on fossil fuels and more importantly in real and immediate cost
savings on energy, and we feel governors will find that information vital and
very significant.”
Mrs. Crolley continues, “Our shareholders and customers are joining us
in this campaign, writing their governors and urging them to use Nansulate to
help save energy and lower energy expenses, an important component of reviving
the fiscal health of the states. It is this kind of effort and ingenuity that,
if done by every company with a technology that presents a value added proposition
to the country, can change the direction of the current fiscal state of affairs.”
Nansulate® is a line of patented specialty coatings based upon nanotechnology
which are environmentally safe, water-based, and low VOC. Nansulate® has
performance qualities of thermal insulation, corrosion prevention, resistance
to mold growth and lead encapsulation. They are clear, easily applied like a
paint, and provide effective reduction of energy use. Customers typically report
energy savings seen between 20%-40%, depending upon application, and independent
third party testing, using the international testing protocol UNI EN ISO 8990:1999
standard "Standard Test Method for Steady-State Thermal Performance of
Building Assemblies", has shown that the coating can block thermal flow
through a wall by 34.8%. Additionally the coating is resistant to mold and fungus
growth, without the use of any potentially harmful biocides.
