Industrial Nanotech, Inc. Announces Successful Use of Nansulate® to Prevent Computer Shutdowns in Mexican Government Building

Business Wire
Industrial Nanotech, Inc. (Pink Sheets:INTK), an emerging global
leader in nanotechnology based energy saving solutions, today
announced that the Company’s patented Nansulate® energy saving
protective coating was successfully used to solve the problem of
computer shutdowns due to high temperatures in a building of the
IMSS (Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social - Social Security
Administration). The Company’s patented Nansulate® HomeProtect
Clear Coat liquid insulation was used on the roof of the Cenati
location in Monterrey. This location houses the data computers
which maintain electronic health records and make up the
information interchange between clinics and hospitals. The coatings
were used to stop these critical computer systems from shutdown due
to high temperatures. The application of the coating to the roof of
the computer center effectively reduced interior temperature to a
safe level for the systems, reducing the temperature by an average
of 27%, and stopped equipment shut down due to excess
temperature.
The application was done by Nansulate® distributor in Mexico,
Distribuidora Nano de America S.A. de C.V. in 2009, and readings
were taken of the interior at the ceiling of the building in July
2009 and July 2010 as comparison. Previously the computers would
shut down at a temperature of 26 deg. C (78.8 deg. F), and after
application of three coats (approximate dry film thickness of 7
mils) the room temperature stays below 22 deg. C (71.6 deg. F). The
average decrease in measured temperature at the ceiling of the
building was 27%.
“This case study is an important showcase of the efficiency of
Nansulate® coating technology in building envelope applications,”
explained Francesca Crolley, V.P. of Business Development for
Industrial Nanotech, Inc. “There are many similar applications like
this one at the Mexican Social Security Administration, where even
though rooms are air conditioned, heat from the exterior can cause
significant problems for the equipment and electronics. Nansulate®
provides highly effective insulation in a thin coating, increasing
the energy efficiency of buildings. It is easily painted onto
multiple surfaces such as roofs, ceilings, walls, and equipment to
inhibit heat transfer, while also protecting surfaces. We’re
pleased that our technology has provided a significant solution for
protection of critical data systems from overheating and for
improved sustainability and energy efficiency of the building.”
IMSS (Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social) employs 370,000
workers and has a seventeen billion UDS annual operating budget.
Aside from providing disability and retirement pensions to 3
million people, similar to those provided by the Social Security
Administration in the United States, it also offers medical
services for approximately half of all Mexican citizens, over
forty-five million people. The IMSS is Mexico’s second largest Tax
Authority, after the Finance Ministry.
