Industrial Nanotech Releases 2008 Energy Saving Report by International Textile Manufacturer Henateks
NAPLES, Fla. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Industrial Nanotech, Inc. (Pink Sheets:INTK), an emerging global leader
in nanoscience solutions, today announced the company's Turkish
distributor, Kolorgen Ltd., has received a final report on the 2008
energy savings from a study by textile manufacturer Henateks Boya ve
Apre Sanayi Tic. A.S. (Henateks.com) on the performance of the Company's
patented Nansulate nanotechnology-based thermal insulation coatings.
The results show that Henateks' plant reduced their energy consumption
overall by 20%, reduced use of liquid natural gas by 1,097,447 m3 and
saved over $460,000.00 USD in the fiscal year 2008 by applying
Industrial Nanotech's patented Nansulate insulation and corrosion
prevention coatings throughout their facility to insulate dye machines,
steam boilers, heat exchanger, steam lines, and other heat processing
equipment. The cost of the Nansulate product they used was only
$200,000 US and the cost of application of the product was approximately
$100,000 US. It is anticipated that their annual savings will increase
to nearly $750,000 US per year when economic conditions improve and the
plant is operating at full capacity. A copy of the report can be

"Henateks first decided to give our unique insulation technology a try
back in October of 2006," explained Francesca Crolley, V.P. of Business
Development for Industrial Nanotech, Inc. "Their story is a familiar one
to us. After initial disbelief that a thin film insulation like
Nansulate could perform, they decided to try it and, after experiencing
the significant energy and cost savings for themselves, they have now
become one of the most vocal supporters of the technology. They have
even stated on their corporate website that they are proud to be one of
the first major textile companies to implement heat insulation using
nanotechnology. Their reported savings of 20% is significant, not only
in the huge dollar cost savings, but also in the reduction of carbon
emissions. The results documented by their study are a perfect example
of what Nansulate technology can do for every company and every
homeowner on the planet, providing both a significant financial benefit
and helping to reduce global warming and energy consumption. Since their
study has been available on our website, it has been the number two most
requested download, second only to the product application instructions.
This is clearly of great value to companies around the world looking for
effective cost and energy saving solutions."
In an interview with Tekstil & Teknik Magazine in April of 2008,
Henateks' General Manager, Eyup Sozdinler, explained their first
perception, "At first, the idea of offering heat insulation via a thin
layer was absurd. However, we decided to try." After their initial
success applying Nansulate Translucent High Heat to all their
uninsulated surfaces, such as heat exchangers and dyeing machines, they
decided to remove the fiberglass insulation on their steam boilers and
piping and replace it with the nanotechnology-based coating. Mr.
Sozdinler added, "Because of global warming, our duty is to make use of
energy as efficiently as possible; wasted energy is wasted national
wealth. This is why I highly recommend this Nansulate technology to all
of the textile industry and other heat using industries."
