NAPLES, Fla., June 28, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Industrial Nanotech Inc., (Pink Sheets:INTK), announces that Princeton Polymer Laboratories, a world-renowned polymer technology company, has confirmed previous in-house tests conducted by the Company which demonstrate that Nansulate High Heat can provide insulation protection from extreme temperatures, ranging up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. The independent testing evaluated the performance characteristics of the Company's industrial coatings for maximum temperature range, hardness, adhesiveness, glass transition temperature and ultraviolet protection. The test results demonstrate the superiority of the Company's Nansulate products for use on industrial applications that experience extremely high temperatures, and necessitate insulation and corrosion protection.
The independent analysis was conducted following ASTM guidelines by Princeton Polymer. ASTM International, originally known as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), is one of the largest voluntary standards development organizations in the world, and a trusted source for technical standards for materials, products, systems, and services. Known for their high technical quality and market relevancy, ASTM International standards have an important role in the information infrastructure that guides design, manufacturing, and trade in the global economy.
Laurie Scherock, M.B.A., President of Industrial Nanotech, Inc., commented, "Our Nansulate(tm) coatings are comprised of a family of acrylic hybrid polymers that are specially formulated with Nanoparticles. We are extremely pleased that our newest product line demonstrated higher temperature range performance under extreme heat applications, while maintaining high performance standards. The test results indicated that all our coatings provide excellent chemical, water and harsh environment resistance."
