Industrial Nanotech, Inc. Fills Critical Void in Roof Insulation Market with Launch of Clear Roof Coating
03 August 2009 - 10:00PM
Business Wire
Industrial Nanotech, Inc. (Pink Sheets: INTK), a global leader
in nanoscience energy saving solutions, announced today that the
Company has launched the first of three patented
nanotechnology-based roof coatings for the commercial, industrial
and residential roofing markets. Nansulate® Crystal is a clear
protective roof coating for sloped roofs which provides thermal
insulation, as well as resistance to UV and mold and mildew, while
protecting and preserving the beauty of the roof. The coating is
used on clay or concrete tile, slate or wood shingle roofs, and
asphalt shingle roofs to provide energy savings through reduction
of heat transfer through the roof. Details on the product can be
found at www.nansulateroof.com.
“Traditional energy efficient roof coatings, an important part
of the world’s efforts to reduce energy consumption and decrease
global warming, are white and work by reflecting away the sun’s
heat,” states Francesca Crolley, VP of Business Development for
Industrial Nanotech, Inc. “While we agree with the assessment of
Steven Chu, the US Secretary of Energy and a Nobel prize-winning
scientist who recently stated that the simple act of painting roofs
white could have a dramatic impact on the amount of energy used to
keep buildings comfortable and directly reduce global warming, we
also understand that, realistically, people and companies who have
spent the extra money for the aesthetic benefits of beautiful clay,
slate or concrete tile roofs or decorative asphalt or wood shingle
roofs are not going to paint them white. This market accounts for a
very substantial amount of the total roof surface area, both in the
US and worldwide.”
Ms. Crolley continues, “Our new Nansulate Crystal, a product
based on our award winning and patented energy saving technology
proven effective in both residential and industrial applications
worldwide, is clear and can be easily applied over colored tile,
barrel tile, clay tile, slate, and shingle roofs without changing
the appearance, allowing the beauty of the roof to remain intact,
while reducing energy costs for heating and cooling by reducing
heat transfer into the house in summer and reducing heat loss from
the house in winter. The additional benefit is it also reduces the
growth of mold, mildew and algae on roofs, therefore keeping them
cleaner and looking new for many years.”
Industrial Nanotech, Inc. anticipates working closely with
roofing contractors, painting contractors, roof material
distributors, and roofing material manufacturers to make this
product easily accessible to consumers. The Company is currently in
negotiations with multinational roof tile manufacturers to apply
the product in the factory and to supply it to consumers for
existing roofs through their established retail and wholesale
networks.
