Coal-fired power plants can significantly increase operating efficiency and reduce energy costs affordably and immediately by utilizing Nansulate® nanotechnology based coatings for both insulation and corrosion control. Energy costs can be reduced by approximately 10% to 25% depending upon application, and based upon both real world applications and independent testing.
Due to the heat intense processing costs of coal-fired power generation, facilities stand to benefit from substantial decreases in energy efficiency by reducing the heat/energy loss for those processes. The bottom line is that new technology can convert formerly fixed energy costs to manageable. Allowing power plants to lower energy costs and significantly improve profit margins. Our direct to metal product Nansulate® High Heat is perfect for such energy solutions while bringing corrosion prevention and moisture resistance to the table as well.
Facilities can use the coatings for: 1. Equipment that does not currently have a suitable insulation option: This can include boilers, feed water heaters, furnaces, and other equipment that due to size or area limitations cannot be insulated with traditional forms of insulation. 2. Replacement for traditional insulation (fiberglass, pipe wrap, rock wool, etc..). The insulation coating can be used to replace traditional insulation and offers a clear alternative that also prevents corrosion rather than causing it.
Nansulate® technology is a poster child for sustainable manufacturing. Besides saving energy, the coatings are also considered "green" and are low VOC. There is even a version that is NSF registered (formerly USDA registration) as safe for incidental food contact surfaces, which makes it suitable for use in food and beverage manufacturing applications. In addition to coatings which are used on boilers and heat equipment, there are also insulation coatings for walls, ceilings and roofs of buildings, for a total facility energy efficiency solution.
New technology typically comes with a high price tag, but Nansulate® coatings are an exception to that mindset. Applications can be done while the lines are running and the ability to significantly reduce costs without a large capital expenditure make this technology a unique and viable option for the power industry.

Condensation is something that we often don't think about. We see it and wipe it away when it blocks our mirrors after a nice hot shower but what we may not realize is the damage it is doing to our walls. Condensation over time will cause paint or wallpaper to peel and crack. The moisture buildup can also lead to mold growth if unchecked, which is not only unsightly, but can also become harmful and cause poor air quality over time.
Nansulate® Home Protect Clear Coat is an excellent coating to use not only for thermal insulation to decrease energy consumption, but also for its resistance to mold and moisture. Nansulate® is naturally resistant to mold growth without use of potentially harmful biocides, and it has a beautiful clear, matte finish which blends with any decor. Nansulate® is easily applied with a brush, roller or paint sprayer to walls and ceilings. If coating your bathroom, avoid the shower area, but you can coat other walls and the ceiling to provide thermal insulation and provide moisture and mold resistance.
Nansulate® coatings have been tested to two ASTM standard for resistance to mold growth. You can read about our test results here.
Also view our Specialty Testimonials to see pictures that show Nansulate® and its mold fighting capabilities.

Young or old, we can all appreciate how magnificent museums are and how important it is to maintain our history. We all see the finished result of the displays and the building, but don't often know what goes on behind the scenes or the maintenance that exhibits require to stay in top condition. The Nansulate® product line is perfect for the many maintenance issues that a museum can face such as mold and moisture buildup, corrosion, rust. It also offers a way to easily increase the building's energy efficiency by insulating walls and ceilings in a clear film, without detracting from the beauty of the building. This patented nanotechnology also protects against corrosion under insulation (CUI) which is an added bonus to prevent having to replace the piping and buildings walls that are being tainted with corrosion and goes unseen.
Condensation can lead to disaster if not controlled or prevented. Read below how Nansulate® helped to prevent condensation and preserve history:
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..."
Yours truly,
Bob Hood Project Manager Emeritus de Havilland Comet Mk4C Restoration Project www.museumofflight.org

Help preserve your home, commercial building, or even museum with Industrial Nanotech!
Americans have been commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence every summer for the past 234 years on the Fourth of July. Families and friends celebrate with barbecues, parades, concerts, baseball games, government ceremonies and of course, fireworks. During the celebration, Americans may put their financial struggles aside, but few families are not touched by the economic situation that has become the new norm, and thus reducing costs and cutting expenses has become a priority in just about every household.
As the personal and governmental burden to make ends meet has become the new reality, homeowners have found an affordable solution in the form of a nanotechnology-based paint manufactured in the U.S., called Nansulate®.
Nansulate® HomeProtect is a nanotechnology-based insulation coating that is helping homeowners reduce their heating and cooling costs. The technology behind Nansulate® is a unique micro-sized material with nano-sized internal architecture that inhibits the transfer of heat, causing the material to act as an effective thin insulator. Other benefits are that the material is moisture, mold, and corrosion resistant, for a clean insulation that is water-based, environmentally friendly, and low VOC. The coating is painted onto walls, ceilings and roofs (among other surfaces) to reduce heat loss and gain, and increase a home's energy efficiency.
Homeowners who have already discovered Nansulate® regularly report energy savings between 20%-40% after using the product. (case studies can be found at: http://www.nansulate.com/nansulate_residential_casestudies.htm). The proof is in the pudding so to speak, and as homeowners see the energy savings in their monthly energy bills, they tell their friends and family.
The government of Mexico recently certified the coating for use on homes under their Green Mortgage Program and energy saving loan program. So this U.S. technology will be helping Mexican citizen's reduce energy costs, as it is already doing for those in the U.S.

This Fourth of July, you may want to consider declaring independence from high energy bills with an easy do-it-yourself paint-on insulation. Industrial Nanotech Inc, with its Nansulate® HomeProtect product, invented and manufactured in the U.S.A., is proving that America is still on the cutting edge of new technology.
We have just published a new White Paper titled, " Reducing Energy Consumption in Tire Manufacturing and Recycling Operations." The document explains how tire manufacturing is done and where in each step of the process Nansulate® thermal insulation coatings can be used to reduce energy waste and thereby reduce costs associated with manufacturing.
Manufacturers of other materials and products may also find this White Paper particularly helpful because certain processes, such as using a steam boiler and steam lines to deliver power to a heat process, are used in nearly every type of manufacturing plant.
Due to the heat intense processing costs of the tire manufacturing and recycling industries, companies stand to benefit from substantial decreases in energy consumption by reducing the heat/energy loss for those processes. The bottom line is that new technology can convert formerly fixed energy costs to manageable. Allowing manufacturers to lower energy costs and significantly improve profit margins.
Nansulate® technology is a poster child for sustainable manufacturing. Besides saving energy, the coatings are also considered "green" and are low VOC. In addition to coatings which are used on boilers and heat equipment, there are also insulation coatings for walls, ceilings and roofs of buildings, for a total facility energy efficiency solution.
Reducing heat loss to increase efficiency sounds so simple, and the concept is just that. Insulating all components within the manufacturing process with a thermal barrier coating means that more of the heat produced by the boiler is converted to energy and thus the end cost per tire manufactured is reduced. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you to guest blog contributor, Barbara Young, for sharing this excellent article on solar power.
Barbara Young writes about solar power in her personal hobby weblog 12voltsolarpanels.net. Her work is devoted to helping people save energy using solar powered energy to reduce CO2 emissions and energy dependency.
Here's a simple way to learn how solar
panels work
What is solar energy ?
Solar energy is radiant energy which is
produced by the sun. Each day the sun radiates, or sends out, an immense
quantity of energy. The sun radiates more energy in one second than people have
used since the beginning of time!
The energy of the Sun originates from
within the sun itself. Like other stars, the sun is mostly a big ball of gases--mostly
hydrogen and helium atoms.
The hydrogen atoms in the sun's core
combine to create helium and generate energy in a process called nuclear
fusion.
During nuclear fusion, the sun's
extremely high pressure and temperature cause hydrogen atoms to come apart and
their nuclei (the central cores of the atoms) to fuse or combine. Four hydrogen
nuclei fuse to become one helium atom. However the helium atom contains less
mass than the four hydrogen atoms that fused. Some matter is lost during
nuclear fusion. The lost matter is emitted into space as radiant energy.
It takes countless years for the energy
in the sun's core to make its way to the solar surface, after which slightly
over eight minutes to travel the 93 million miles to earth. The solar energy
travels to the earth at a speed of 186,000 miles per second, the velocity of
light.
Only a small percentage of the energy
radiated from the sun into space strikes the earth, one part in two billion.
Yet this volume of energy is enormous. Each day enough energy strikes the usa
to supply the nation's energy needs for one and a half years!
Where does all of this energy go?
About 15 percent of the sun's energy
which hits our planet is reflected back to space. Another 30 percent is used to
evaporate water, which, lifted in to the atmosphere, produces rainfall. Solar
energy also is absorbed by plants, the land, and the oceans. The remaining
could be used to supply our energy needs.
Who invented solar power ?
Folks have harnessed solar energy for
years and years. Since the 7th century B.C., people used simple magnifying
glasses to concentrate the light of the sun into beams so hot they'd cause wood
to catch fire. More than 100 years ago in France, a scientist used heat from a
solar collector to create steam to drive a steam engine. At first of this
century, scientists and engineers began researching ways to use solar power in
earnest. One important development was a remarkably efficient solar boiler
invented by Charles Greeley Abbott, an american astrophysicist, in 1936.
The solar hot water heater became
popular at this time in Florida, California, and the Southwest. The industry
started in the early 1920s and was in full swing just before The second world
war. This growth lasted until the mid-1950s when low-cost natural gas became
the primary fuel for heating American homes.
The public and world governments
remained largely indifferent to the possibilities of solar technology until the
oil shortages of the1970s. Today, people use solar energy to heat buildings and
water and also to generate electricity.
How we use solar energy today ?
Solar energy can be used in a variety of
ways, of course. There are 2 simple types of solar energy:
* Solar thermal energy collects the sun's warmth through 1 of
2 means: in water or in an anti-freeze (glycol) mixture.
* Solar photovoltaic energy converts the sun's radiation to
usable electricity.
Listed here are the five most practical
and popular ways that solar power can be used:
1. Small portable solar photovoltaic systems. We see these
used everywhere, from calculators to solar garden tools. Portable units may be
used for everything from RV appliances while single panel systems can be used
traffic signs and remote monitoring stations.
2. Solar pool heating. Running water in direct circulation
systems through a solar collector is a very practical method to heat water for
your pool or hot spa.
3. Thermal glycol energy to heat water. In this
method (indirect circulation), glycol is heated by sunshine and the heat is
then transferred to water in a hot water tank. This process of collecting the
sun's energy is more practical now than in the past. In areas as far north as
Edmonton, Alberta, solar thermal to heat water is economically sound. It can
pay for itself in three years or less.
4. Integrating
solar photovoltaic energy into your home or office power. In lots of parts of
the world, solar photovoltaics is an economically feasible way to supplement
the power of your own home. In Japan, photovoltaics are competitive with other
kinds of power. In america alone, new incentive programs make this form of
solar technology ever more viable in many states. An increasingly popular and
practical way of integrating solar energy into the power of your home or
business is through the usage of building integrated solar photovoltaics.
5. Large
independent photovoltaic systems. When you have enough sun power at your site,
you might be able to go off grid. It's also possible to integrate or hybridize
your solar power system with wind power or other kinds of alternative energy to
stay 'off the grid.'
How do Photovoltaic panels work ?
Silicon is mounted beneath non-reflective glass to produce
photovoltaic panels. These panels collect photons from the sun, converting them
into DC electrical power. The power created then flows into an inverter. The
inverter transforms the energy into basic voltage and AC electrical power.
Photovoltaic cells are prepared with particular materials called
semiconductors like silicon, which is presently the most generally used. When
light hits the Photovoltaic cell, a specific share of it is absorbed inside the
semiconductor material. This means that the energy of the absorbed light is
given to the semiconductor.
The power unfastens the electrons, permitting them to run
freely. Solar cells also have more than one electric fields that act to compel
electrons unfastened by light absorption to flow in a specific direction. This
flow of electrons is a current, and by introducing metal links on the top and
bottom of the -Photovoltaic cell, the current can be drawn to use it
externally.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of solar power ?
Solar Pro Arguments
- Heating our homes with oil or gas or using electricity from
power plants running with fossil fuels is a reason for global warming and
climate disruption. Solar power, on the other hand, is clean and
environmentally-friendly.
- Solar hot-water heaters require little maintenance, and their
initial investment may be recovered in just a relatively small amount of time.
- Solar hot-water heaters can work in nearly every climate, even
just in very cold ones. You just have to choose the best system for your
climate: drainback, thermosyphon, batch-ICS, etc.
- Maintenance costs of solar powered systems are minimal and
also the warranties large.
- Financial incentives (USA, Canada, European states...) can help
to eliminate the price of the initial investment in solar technologies. The
U.S. government, for example, offers tax credits for solar systems certified by
by the SRCC (Solar Rating and Certification Corporation), which amount to 30
percent of the investment (2009-2016 period).
Solar Cons Arguments
- The initial investment in Solar Hot water heaters or in Solar
PV Electric Systems is greater than that required by conventional electric and
gas heaters systems.
- The payback period of solar PV-electric systems is high, as
well as those of solar space heating or solar cooling (only the solar hot water
heating payback is short or relatively short).
- Solar water heating do not support a direct in conjunction
with radiators (including baseboard ones).
- Some ac (solar space heating and the solar cooling systems)
are costly, and rather untested technologies: solar air-con isn't, till now, a
really economical option.
- The efficiency of solar powered systems is
rather influenced by sunlight resources. It's in colder climates, where heating
or electricity needs are higher, that the efficiency is smaller.

Francesca Crolley, V.P. of Business Development for Industrial Nanotech, Inc., stated, "We are looking forward to expanded market share in Mexico as a result of the product certification and further recognition worldwide of the performance of our technology. The insulation and energy saving benefits of our patented products have been verified and documented over the past 6 years in both laboratory testing and field studies in a variety of climates and countries and industries and market sectors. The product's adoption will continue to grow exponentially as countries like Mexico and others move to certify and promote the technology and its ability to reduce energy costs on a national scale."
As the largest originator of residential mortgages in Mexico, INFONAVIT authorized a credit system called Green Mortgage in response to the recommendations of the General Assembly in Mexico. The Green Mortgage program is designed to promote the incorporation of energy sustainability criteria in the homes that INFONAVIT finances, supporting the National Strategy for Climate Change, ensuring energy and water savings that will make homes more affordable and improve the environment. In a recent press release, Infonavit stated that Green Mortgages represented 33% of all the loans made by the fund during the first four months of the year.
Since the Green Mortgage program was launched in 2009, Infonavit has originated a total of 150,668 green mortgages for MXN 28.9 billion (USD 2.2 billion) and is financed by its lending operations, by mandatory employer contributions on behalf of the country's 14.4 million salaried workers, and by mortgage bonds. Infonavit plans to make between 475,000 and 525,000 mortgages this year.
