ISSUE: Edward Moore Design, Inc., a Canadian Government recognized research and development laboratory since 1985, was developing a cooling and heating system to be utilized in three unique medical devices. They needed the unit to be as energy efficient as possible and also use insulation which was acceptable for the hospital environment.

SOLUTION: Nansulate® GP was specified into the heating and cooling unit for the three new medical devices.

The first device is an air conditioned/heated massaging mattress cover, which can be used for bed ridden patients, controlling the temperature of the mattess, providing comfort and preventing bed sores. It is scheduled for clinical testing in November 2008 and offshoots of this technology are now destined to target the general consumer market.

Edward Moore, President, describes the projects further, “Nansulate has been specified into the main cooling and heating system for this design. Nansulate added to the mattress cover system was found to reduce cooling temperature at a rate of 1.8 degrees per minute, as compared to the foam insulation alone which reduced temperature at a rate of 1.1 degrees per minute. All test were performed under identical conditions cooling one gallon of fluid.
By speeding up the cooling process, substantial energy savings were achieved. In addition, Nansulate prevented sweating during the cooling process and also prevents growth of unwanted substances on the surface of the system.

The same carefully researched cooling and heating system specifying Nansulate will be incorporated into a new machine to form x-ray invisible casts with perfectly even pressure over the entire area of a broken limb. The casts can be worn while swimming or bathing and re-formed, again with perfectly even
pressure, when swelling reduces. Thanks to Nansulate the time to form a perfectly even pressure cast will be approximately three minutes.
An additional portable machine specifying Nansulate in the unique heating and cooling system, is to heat and or cool with adjustable massage any area of the body for sports medicine and general
physiotherapy needs. This machine will free up the doctor or technician to perform other tasks. The portability of the battery operated machine is due in large part to the energy savings realized with Nansulate insulating coatings.”

HISTORICAL AIRCRAFT - SEATTLE MUSEUM OF FLIGHT

ISSUE: Protection of restored historical aircraft from condensation and corrosion while on display at a major aircraft museum.

SOLUTION: Nansulate® Translucent PT offered a means of protection for the aircraft from both condensation and corrosion. The invisible, thin film layers allowed for protection without detracting from the majestic look of the airplane.

"I am writing to personally thank you and Industrial Nanotech for your recent gift to the Seattle Museum of Flight's de Havilland Comet Mk4C Restoration Project. The entire Comet restoration group wants you to know how grateful we are for your product and the kind spirit behind its gift.

The coating you contributed has already become an important part of our eventual exhibit. We have painted the interior of our aircraft's forward passenger compartment's skin, and have already seen the benefits of its protection through a significant reduction in condensation. When we have completed the entire project, Industrial Nanotech's coating will be an important hidden addition to the 'first Jet Airliner' exhibit. The original interior skin finish was a revolutionary (for 1959) epoxy. It seems appropriate that we replace it with a revolutionary (for 2006) coating by Industrial Nanotech..."

INDUSTRIAL OVENS - LS INDUSTRIES

ISSUE: LS Industries, a designer and manufacturer of large metal cleaning equipment for the industrial and automotive markets, needed to reduce surface temperature of industrial ovens to a worker safe level and to increase efficiency of oven insulation.

SOLUTION: LS Industries coated the exterior of five of their Heat & Block Blaster ovens which are used for cleaning engines by burning off residue at a temperature of 800F. The external temperature of the ovens after application and cure (7 mil dft) of Nansulate® Translucent High Heat dropped from 168F to between 100-115F and was safe to touch while in operation. Their customers were very satisfied with the results of the surface temerature reduction and increase in energy efficiency.

LS Industries now plans to offer Nansulate® on all their products requiring insulation, rust and corrosion protection.

LEAD ENCAPSULATION - SOUTHERN ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES

ISSUE: A large 3-story building in Atlanta was being renovated into commercial office space. The environmental contractors hired for the job needed to find a suitable form of lead abatement that would encapsulate the lead and that was also cost effective.

SOLUTION: After initial patch tests were completed successfully, Nansulate® LDX was chosen for use in the 30,000 SF building to encapsulate the lead contaminates. Nansulate® offered a cost effective solution and was the only clear encapsulant that could be applied to the wide variety of surfaces, including wood and brick.
