Nanto Cleantech developed a biocide-free technology for antifouling applications
Nanto Cleantech is proud to announce that has been invited at the 6th Nano-Carbon Enhanced Materials Consortium (NCEM-6), that is held in Milan in March 8th-9th, to give a company presentation.
This meeting is hosted by the Prysmian Group, one of the leading cable manufacturing companies and one of the newest members of the consortium.
The NCEM consortium is put forward by the Centre for Business Innovation (CfBI www.cfbi.com) in Cambridge, in order to provide to consortium members a unique opportunity to a deep understanding of carbon nanotechnologies and its considerable potentials for new commercialization challenges. Commercialization of carbon nanotechnologies has the potential to drive innovation and competitive advantage in many manufacturing sectors such as energy, automotive, aerospace, construction electronics and biotechnology.
The NCEM consortium is a private consortium led by Dr Bojan Boskovic, CEO of Cambridge Nanomaterials Technology, with members and delegates coming from leading companies and universities.
Members from the past five years have been: University of Cambridge (UK); Nokia Research Centre (UK); ST Microelectronics (Italy); Bosch (Germany); Thales (UK), Henkel (Germany), Codelco (Chile), National Grid (UK), Trinity College Dublin (Ireland), Arup (UK), Statnett (Norway), Schneider Electric (France), LML Products Ltd (UK), Nexans (France). RTE (France), GE Global Research (USA), Bose Corporation (USA), and International Copper Association (USA).
NCEM consortium has entered its sixth year (NCEM-6) with members coming from Airbus Group (UK), Rolls Royce (UK), Whirlpool Corporation (USA), ArcelorMittal (Spain), NISSAN (Russia), Tecnalia (Spain) Johnson Matthey (UK) and Prysmian Group (Italy).
The NCEM consortium meets together 5 times per year, usually at one of its members’ sites or hosted at a leading research institution. World class experts are invited to join and participate at the specific meetings related to their field of expertise.
In this context, Nanto Cleantech has been invited to present the company and its activities. The presentation is scheduled for today, March 9th at 2:30 pm and will be given by Prof. Massimo Merlino, President of Nanto Cleantech Inc Advisory Board and President of the Italian affiliate Nanto Protective Coating Srl Italy. Prof. Merlino will introduce Nanto Cleantech, its technologies and patent portfolio, products and relative applications, with a focus on anti-ice, reduced friction and fire-retardant coatings.
About Nanto Cleantech:
Nanto Cleantech is a US based Industrial Intellectual Property and Technology Holding Company with affiliates in United States, Europe and Israel. It is focused on advanced materials based on proprietary nanotechnology that significantly improve performances of multi-functional coatings and polymers for anticorrosion, flame retardant and antistick applications. Its specialty materials are designed and developed with a proprietary worldwide patent portfolio already granted in 110 countries.
Nanto Cleantech has recently developed a new technology for superhydrophobic coatings, with anti-ice and anti-stick features, based on nanotechnology which improves drag reduction from 5% up to 36%. Fire-retardant technology, with 16 patents already granted in the world, allows an enhanced fire protection with a significant reduction of conventional fire retardants (from 20% to 100%).
