Condensation is something that we often don't think about. We see it and wipe it away when it blocks our mirrors after a nice hot shower but what we may not realize is the damage it is doing to our walls. Condensation over time will cause paint or wallpaper to peel and crack. The moisture buildup can also lead to mold growth if unchecked, which is not only unsightly, but can also become harmful and cause poor air quality over time.

Nansulate® Home Protect Clear Coat is an excellent coating to use not only for thermal insulation to decrease energy consumption, but also for its resistance to mold and moisture. Nansulate® is naturally resistant to mold growth without use of potentially harmful biocides, and it has a beautiful clear, matte finish which blends with any decor. Nansulate® is easily applied with a brush, roller or paint sprayer to walls and ceilings. If coating your bathroom, avoid the shower area, but you can coat other walls and the ceiling to provide thermal insulation and provide moisture and mold resistance.

Nansulate® coatings have been tested to two ASTM standard for resistance to mold growth. You can read about our test results here.

Are you aware that lead-based paint is a serious health risk in older homes and buildings, especially ones that have been built before 1978 when lead based paint was used? Are you also aware that there is a patented technology for encapsulation of lead based paint? Nansulate® LDX can provide a safe and cost efficient alternative to expensive remediation and removal of lead-based paints. If the paint is adhering well to the surface, then you can encapsulate the lead-based paint with Nansulate® LDX - and provide a clear layer of protection.

Features and Benefits

• Encapsulate lead-based paint with a clear, environmentally friendly coating.
• Easy Application with brush, roller or paint sprayer.
• Non-toxic, water-based.
• Outstanding durability with excellent adhesion.
• Low VOC (100 g/L).
• Resistant to mold growth without use of toxic moldicides.
• Can be painted over.
• Clear finish, does not change the color of underlying surfaces.
• Cost effective alternative to removal of lead-based paint.

The Pearl Harbor Naval Base used Nansulate® LDX on facility buildings to improve safety by encapsulating lead-based paint as did the American Red Cross in Louisiana who also benefited from LDX's restoration properties. Click here to download a case study about the renovation of a large 3-story commercial building in Atlanta, Georgia and how Nansulate® LDX provided them with a cost effective lead abatement solution so they could complete the conversion to commercial office space.

Industrial Nanotech, Inc. Announces Use of Company's Patented Nansulate® Clear Thermal Insulation and Protective Coating On Metal Handrails To Prevent Contact Burn Injury Caused by Sun Heated Metal Surfaces

 

Company Anticipates Expansion to Park and Playground Equipment

 

NAPLES, Fla., July 7, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Industrial Nanotech, Inc. (Pink Sheets:INTK), an emerging global leader in nanoscience energy saving solutions, announced today that the Company's patented nanotechnology based Nansulate® thermal insulation and protective coating is being used by a Florida County to coat the metal handrails at municipal facilities to protect its citizens from contact burn injury caused by touching these metal surfaces which have been exposed to the intense summer sun.

 

"The customer has indicated that this initial application on the aluminum handrails at municipal buildings is likely to be expanded to include playground and park equipment," states Francesca Crolley, VP of Business Development for Industrial Nanotech, Inc. "We anticipate this type of application expanding rapidly throughout US and abroad. A safety alert was issued by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) regarding hot metal playground equipment in June 2009. The advisory states that playground equipment can reach 166 degrees in hot weather due to heat and sun exposure, high enough to cause serious contact burn injuries in a matter of seconds. There are many reported cases of metal surfaces in public facilities, including playgrounds and parks, reaching temperatures of 138 degrees Fahrenheit. Playground safety experts report that children can get burned within a few minutes on anything over 120 degrees and in a within a few seconds at temperatures of 140 degrees Fahrenheit or higher."

Young or old, we can all appreciate how magnificent museums are and how important it is to maintain our history. We all see the finished result of the displays and the building, but don't often know what goes on behind the scenes or the maintenance that exhibits require to stay in top condition. The Nansulate® product line is perfect for the many maintenance issues that a museum can face such as mold and moisture buildup, corrosion, rust. It also offers a way to easily increase the building's energy efficiency by insulating walls and ceilings in a clear film, without detracting from the beauty of the building. This patented nanotechnology also protects against corrosion under insulation (CUI) which is an added bonus to prevent having to replace the piping and buildings walls that are being tainted with corrosion and goes unseen.

Condensation can lead to disaster if not controlled or prevented. Read below how Nansulate® helped to prevent condensation and preserve history:

ISSUE: Protection of restored historical aircraft from condensation and corrosion while on display at a major aircraft museum.

SOLUTION: Nansulate® Translucent PT offered a means of protection for the aircraft from both condensation and corrosion. The invisible, thin film layers allowed for protection without detracting from the majestic look of the airplane.
 
"I am writing to personally thank you and Industrial Nanotech for your recent gift to the Seattle Museum of Flight's de Havilland Comet Mk4C Restoration Project. The entire Comet restoration group wants you to know how grateful we are for your product and the kind spirit behind its gift.

The coating you contributed has already become an important part of our eventual exhibit. We have painted the interior of our aircraft's forward passenger compartment's skin, and have already seen the benefits of its protection through a significant reduction in condensation. When we have completed the entire project, Industrial Nanotech's coating will be an important hidden addition to the 'first Jet Airliner' exhibit. The original interior skin finish was a revolutionary (for 1959) epoxy. It seems appropriate that we replace it with a revolutionary (for 2006) coating by Industrial Nanotech..."

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 manufactured in the U.S., called Nansulate®.  

Nansulate® HomeProtect is a nanotechnology-based insulation coating that is helping homeowners reduce 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 clean insulation that is water-based, environmentally friendly, and low VOC. The coating is painted onto walls, ceilings and roofs (among other surfaces) to reduce heat loss and gain, and increase a home's energy efficiency.

Homeowners who have already discovered Nansulate® regularly report energy savings between 20%-40% after using the product. (case studies can be found at: http://www.nansulate.com/nansulate_residential_casestudies.htm). The proof is in the pudding so to speak, and as homeowners see the energy savings in their monthly energy bills, they tell their friends and family.

The government of Mexico recently certified the coating for use on homes under their Green Mortgage Program and energy saving loan program. So this U.S. technology will be helping Mexican citizen's reduce energy costs, as it is already doing for those in the U.S.
