Industrial Nanotech, Inc. Reports Updates in Saudi Arabia -...
- Industrial Nanotech, Inc. (Pink Sheets:INTK), an emerging global leader in nanoscience solutions, announced updates regarding Saudi Arabia Distributor, Saudi Environmental Projects, Ltd., the new exclusive distributor for Nansulate energy saving and asset protection coatings in Saudi Arabia. The Company will be assisting with a presentation this week by Saudi Environmental Projects to one of the top five petrochemical companies in the world. In addition the Company's CEO/CTO, Stuart Burchill, has been invited by Saudi Environmental Projects to give a technical presentation about the Company's nanotechnology based industrial coatings and their insulating and corrosion resistant capabilities at the Saudi Oil and Gas Exhibition in January 2010. The Chairman of Saudi Environmental Projects, Ltd., HRH Prince Abdullah bin Mosaad Bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, is one of the Kingdom's prominent businessmen and industrialists. He is the founder and chairman of the largest paper manufacturing and processing paper industrial facilities outside the USA, Europe and Japan. He is the Chairman and CEO of The Saudi Paper Manufacturing Group, which includes the Saudi Paper Manufacturing Company, the Saudi Recycling Company, and the Saudi Company for Environmental Enterprises. He is active in other fields and activities in the trade, services and investments sectors in Saudi Arabia and internationally. He travels extensively and works with other prominent businessmen from around the world to promote trade and understanding between Saudi Arabia and the other countries. "Saudi Environmental Projects will be giving a presentation this week to the largest petrochemical producer in the region and one of the top five petrochemical companies in the world," stated Francesca Crolley, VP of Business Development for Industrial Nanotech, Inc. "We have provided the presentation material and will be attending via teleconference. The client first contacted the Company earlier this month to request a presentation on Nansulate technology after reading in the current issue of Global Processing magazine about Henateks textile and how the company saved over $460,000 USD in energy costs in 2008 due to implementation of Nansulate insulation and corrosion prevention coatings in their facility at a cost of only $200,000 USD for product and $100,000 USD for installation." Ms. Crolley continued, "Additionally, Industrial Nanotech CEO/CTO, Stuart Burchill, has received an invitation to attend Saudi Oil, Gas & Petrochem 2010, held in Riyadh City January 17-20, 2010 to present Nansulate solutions for the oil & gas and petrochemical markets with Saudi Environmental Projects. In attendance is expected to be representatives from Aramco, Sabic, Gasco, and companies from China, Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, France, Turkey, Egypt, Qatar, Kuwait, UAE and more. The four day event will include conferences, workshops and exhibitions covered by TV, newspapers and magazines with special reports and interviews with exhibitors and visitors. Last year's exhibition welcomed more than 8,247 senior managers and purchasing decision makers."

Industrial Nanotech, Inc. Announces Agreement with OEM Solar...
- Industrial Nanotech, Inc. (Pink Sheets:INTK), an emerging global leader in nanoscience solutions, today announced the completion of an agreement with Total Energy Care (TEC) to represent their patented Nansulate Solar thermal insulation and energy saving coating in Canada for retrofitting energy systems in existing buildings and in new build construction. The agreement includes use of Nansulate Solar product within the solar thermal and thermal storage industries in Canada. TEC's President, Steven Burke, has committed to using Nansulate on all solar thermal panels manufactured at their new plant. Mr. Burke explains, "Because of the amazing thermal resistance properties shown by Nansulate , by applying it on all five of the metal surfaces within a flat plate solar thermal panel, we expect as much as a 20% to 30% increase in the efficiency over traditional insulation used in this industry. The effect of reduction in loss of heat captured from the sun and held in thermal storage tanks promises to be even more profound. And these are huge advantages in the marketplace!" TEC's strong sales growth plan includes increasing their sales force from 60 to approximately 200 reps by the middle of 2010. Mr. Burke continues, "We can reasonably approach not only the hot water market but also that of space heating, as the end result is a product approaching the efficiency formerly only available from evacuated tube panels, but at a much lower cost. Solar thermal flat plate collectors are far less expensive to manufacture than their airless competitors. At approximately 40% of the cost of buying evacuated tube solar thermal systems (wholesale price), this means that a product using flat plate panels will produce heat for far less per BTU than evacuated tube." TEC is opening a new facility for manufacturing solar thermal panels and thermal storage tanks which will employ more than 50 individuals. The facility will be headed by engineer Brian Slack, who has won awards for increasing efficiency at an American Corporation's plant in South Western Ontario. This will be the second OEM application for solar thermal equipment in which the coatings have been specified. Industrial Nanotech previously announced that their patented Nansulate Solar thermal insulation coating will be incorporated into all new solar water heater systems by Asian manufacturer First Energy Solution to insulate and increase efficiency.
