Akron,
Ohio April 11, 2005 Ecology Coatings the
leading developer of liquid 100 percent solids, ultra-violet
curable, nano-engineered coatings technology for automotive,
industrial, electronic and medical applications, today
announced its new licensing program. In this new coatings
technology all liquid components are transformed into
the final solid film, without the use of water or
solvents as carriers. Nano-materials disperse evenly
and maintain suspension through cure, which occurs
in seconds under ultra-violet light rather than heat,
with excellent adhesion to metals, polymers and composites.
This newly termed " liquid nanotechnology "will
facilitate exciting new electronic technologies and
enable dramatic process efficiencies in existing industrial
applications. With extensive application expertise
and broad intellectual property in the field, Ecology
Coatings¹ product line is now being licensed
to an expanded list of strategic partners.
Sally Ramsey, chief chemist and founder of Ecology
Coatings stated, "Our nano-engineered coatings
have increased moisture resistance, abrasion resistance,
and hiding power. In addition, the rheological characteristics
are greatly enhanced, allowing for application in
previously impossible configurations. Using nanotechnology
maintains low viscosities while allowing for high
levels of particle loading without loss of optical
clarity. This permits precision application of these
high performance coatings on a variety of products
from heavy-duty automotive components to temperature
sensitive OLED displays."
"Through this new licensing program, our Œliquid
nanotechnology¹ will be manufactured and distributed
through existing channels, allowing our technology
to impact products and markets across a wider range
of applications and geography,² said Rich Stromback,
Ecology Coating¹s chief executive officer. ³This
will also enable rapid deployment of our technology
and facilitate growth for Ecology Coatings and our
partners."
