Americans Are Celebrating Independence from High Energy Costs with New Roll-On InsulationNew technology is making a difference one home at a timeAmericans have been commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence every summer for the past 233 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 battle that we are engaged in over our dependence on foreign oil.
Although we have declared independence from the Kingdom of Britain, as with our historical British taxation, American's pocketbooks have felt the burden of this fuel dependency through our energy bills. In the past year, 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 created with U.S. technology called Nansulate®.
Nansulate® HomeProtect is a green, nanotechnology-based insulation product that is helping homeowners make the break from energy dependence by reducing 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 cleaner insulation that is water-based, environmentally friendly and low VOC.
Nansulate® Home Protect is affordable (at only 44 cents per s.f.) and is easily rolled, brushed or sprayed on walls, attic space, ceilings, water heaters, garage doors and other areas of the home. The coating is available in clear or white, tintable versions and can be painted over a variety of surfaces, including wood, pre-painted walls, stucco and more. Homeowners who have already discovered Nansulate® regularly report energy savings between 20%-40% after using the product. (case studies can be found at:

As President Elect Obama has said, "Our government now pays the highest energy bill in the world. We need to change that." (Obama's Radio Address on December 12th, 2008.) The Obama Administration has taken the offensive in this war through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 which appropriates $4.5 billion to increase the energy efficiency in the halls of our federal buildings with green technology, and $2.5 billion dollars for investment in energy efficiency and renewable energy research. Fortunately, although we are each going to pay our share of the taxes to support those billion dollar bills, we don't have to wait for the research to fight this battle and protect our wallets on the energy efficiency home front.
With their focus on American homeowners, in addition to industry and government, Industrial Nanotech Inc.(Pinksheets: INTK) created a program last year to assist homeowners with their energy efficiency upgrades. The
One Room At A Time program was introduced to allow customers to get a volume discount while spreading out the cost of insulating their home with the coatings over a 12 month period - they coat their home and get the 'last room' for free (the equivalent of 3 gallons). Homeowners can start experiencing energy cost savings as they paint each room and use those savings to continue their project. Details on this program can be found at

This Fourth of July, do your patriotic part to reduce America's dependence on foreign oil, and increase the energy efficiency of your home. Gain independence from high energy bills with an easy do-it-yourself solution and still have plenty of time to enjoy the holiday and spend your hard earned money on fireworks and hotdogs rather than energy bills. 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 and is proudly helping America decrease its energy dependence.
One of the greatest benefits of Nansulate® coatings is their versatility. No matter how many different types of applications they are used on (which has been quite a variety over the past 5+ years) there is always a new one coming up. This entry is just that - a new, unique use of the coatings to protect heavy equipment from corrosion and UV degradation. With the increasingly global sustainability emphasis, plant managers are tasked with finding ways to protect plant assets, increase their longevity, reduce maintenance costs and optimize energy efficiency. Nansulate® can assist plant managers in meeting all of the demands.
