By Greentech Lead Team: Industrial Nanotech, an emerging global provider of
nanotechnology based energy saving solutions, announced the first sale of
Nansulate, its patented nanotechnology based insulation and protective coating
line, to a nuclear power facility in the United States.
“We have already begun initial
projects in the U.S. with facilities using our nanotechnology based products.
Power generation facilities, including Nuclear, Coal, Oil & Gas, Wind,
Wave, and Solar will continue to be a market focus of ours this year to expand
the foot print of sustainable nanotechnology and the benefits it can offer for
energy efficient power generation,” said Francesca
Crolley, V.P. Business Development for Industrial Nanotech.
Industrial Nanotech’s thermal
insulation coatings are being used to insulate equipment to reduce heat loss
and increase energy efficiency in existing nuclear facilities.
Nansulate coatings
provide effective, weathering resistant thermal insulation as well as valuable
protective performance qualities including corrosion prevention, moisture and
UV resistance, and lead encapsulation, which is an issue when decommissioning
nuclear facilities.
Nansulate contains a nanotechnology
based material that provides the combined performance qualities of thermal
insulation, corrosion prevention, resistance to mold growth, fire resistance,
chemical resistance and lead encapsulation in an environmentally safe,
water-based, coating formulation.
Recently, Industrial Nanotech
expanded its business to China by executing an agreement with Beijing Woven
Energy Efficiency Technologies.
