PORTLAND,
Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 18, 2005--Nano Chemical
Systems Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:NCSH - News) announces
today the acquisition of two Patents Pending for Nano
Technology inventions. The applications were acquired
on January 25, 2005.
The patent applications are titled "Preservation
of Narrow Nano-Size Distribution of Particles"
and "Semiconductive Nanoparticulates Enhanced
Surface Appearance."
Nano TiO2 acts as
an absorber of Ultraviolet (UV) energy, but is virtually
transparent to visible light. Only small quantities
of these nano2 TiO2 particles are required to achieve
effective UV protection because, in part, these small
particles have a much greater surface area to stop
UV radiation than a comparable weight of larger-sized
particles with the same chemical composition.
The company intends
to take Nano TiO2, initially manufactured by third
parties (similar to the UV blocking particles used
in some sunscreens), and put them into an aerosol
formulation. The aerosols can then be packaged and
used to help protect golf shirts and other cotton
clothing, since cotton has little UV protection. The
Company anticipates that the aerosol formula will
be useful to protect drapes, carpets and certain other
textiles from discoloration caused by UV radiation,
thereby enhancing longevity of the fabric.
Protection against
the economic and health detriments of UV radiation
is important and, in theory, the Company's products
may be able to assist with this problem after additional
testing.
A second area that
that the Company intends to research is the effect
of Nano TiO2 to change the surface appearance of objects
by adding a TiO2 coating. This effect seems to occur
particularly at low angles of incidence. There are
a number of theoretical and practical problems to
work out, but it is conceivable that non-migrating
TiO2 coatings may change colors somewhat and cause
a pleasing iridescent effect, which can enhance the
surface appearance of a wide variety of objects.
Both of these areas
of research are consistent with the Company's overall
plan to enhance basic products with Nano Technology
and create either or both functionality and marketing
advantages.
