NAPLES, Fla., Nov. 20, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Industrial Nanotech, Inc. (Pink Sheet:INTK), a Company that specializes in nanotechnology innovation and product development, today announced the launch of a new industrial product, Nansulate Thermal Wrap, designed for OEM applications where fast cure time is critical and resistance to the elements or impact damage during shipping, transport, and installation of the finished product is important.
Research and development for Nansulate Thermal Wrap began in 2004 following discussions with an international company that manufactures large sections of pipe used for underground pipelines. The new product was completed earlier this month at Princeton Polymer Laboratories, Inc. Nansulate Thermal Wrap is designed to be applied as a ribbon of insulation that is wrapped around a pipe to form an incredibly tough thermal insulation and strong protective barrier. Bonding can be enhanced when necessary by the introduction of heat to the substrate during the wrap process.
"Nansulate Thermal Wrap meets the critical performance specifications called for in the underground piping industry. These pipes, which are utilized in massive municipal projects worldwide as well as a major element of the oil and gas industry, are subjected to severe environmental conditions, abrasion, and impact," stated Stuart Burchill, Chief Executive Office of Industrial Nanotech. "Just as important as the durability and insulating properties of our new product is the fact that it easily integrates into the current manufacturing process. The wrap was specifically engineered so that it could be applied during OEM manufacturing without slowing down the speed of production. Our studies determined that there is approximately a 10 second window between steps of pipe production during which Nansulate Thermal Wrap can be applied and be fully cured before the pipe went onto the next step of the manufacturing process. This, in and of itself, is a technological breakthrough that opens up a vast market of OEM applications."
