In regards to the additional products, we have a skin installed and we have a product that we had custom developed for us that connects to a PostgreSQL database. We've looked at slow PostgreSQL queries causing problems and have not been able to find an issue. We've also tested for the case where the PostgreSQL server is down and have not been able to create an issue. We therefor...
WHITSETT, NC -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/30/07 -- nCoat, Inc. (OTCBB: NCOA) ("nCoat" or the
"Company") today responded to industry and investor questions concerning
uses of nanotechnology products under development. nCoat released
information on three development projects currently in testing that are
exploring the efficacy and performance of nano-scale coating (surface
treatment materials) developed at the company. The testing was done by
potential customers at their facilities. Internally, nCoat projects are
administered by nTech, Inc., and the coatings are applied by High
Performance Coatings, Inc. (HPC), two wholly owned subsidiaries of nCoat.
Working with customers, nCoat and its subsidiaries are focused on
developing engineered coating solutions to meet and exceed increasingly
high performance materials specifications. Through nTech, nCoat develops
nano-scale coatings products principally focused on the following key
aspects:
1. Continued improvements to proprietary binding and dispersion formulas;
2. Continued research and testing of the solids in coatings for new,
enhanced or new alternate functionality when applied to multiple
substrates;
3. Improvement of materials and processes to further exploit binding
interactions between coatings source materials and between the coating
and the substrate;
4. Testing new uses for the high density, low porosity nano formulations;
and
5. Development and testing of new methods to create uniform sized nano
particles.
For the past several months, nTech has been working with an aerospace
company with the objective to reduce the weight of exhaust system
components that would thereby enable the weight reduction to be used for
increased payload and fuel capacity.
The design solution called for ceramic matrix composites exposed to high
temperature degradation risks while operating with sufficient tensile
strength to maintain operational requirements. The use of nanotechnology
provided a new, previously unknown solution by introducing the
nano-formulated coating as a binding agent within the ceramic matrix. The
primary benefit is created as the nano-coating penetrates deeper and more
evenly in binding the materials. An added benefit to the mix is the
nano-coating simultaneously provides thermal barrier functionality to the
composite deriving previously unachievable performance. A secondary benefit
results as nano-scaled materials penetrate so deeply and evenly, the
temperatures required to cure the ceramic matrix composite are reduced from
1,800-2,100 degrees Fahrenheit to 650 degrees, representing a significant
savings in the overall cost to manufacture the composite material.
A second challenge from the aerospace sector has called on nTech for the
protection of substrate structural material in extreme temperature
conditions against the unacceptable risks of thermal oxidation. Testing was
performed for NASA involving thermal barrier coatings designed to enable
the fuselage of spacecraft to endure exposure to 4,200°F for a period
during orbital re-entry. The resultant incorporation of a formulated
nano-coating increased the duration of protection by 78 times previous
testing -- from ten seconds to thirteen plus minutes.
A third nTech project focuses on preventing rotor blade abrasion. Various
industry coatings were tested on the edge of blades at high speeds to
confirm protection against abrasion from rainfall. A standard rotor blade
rain erosion test set tip speed at 632 feet per second, drenched the blades
in simulated rainfall at a rate of three inches per hour and defined
failure as erosion of the coating until an unbroken line of bare metal was
exposed at the blade edge. Within 10-15 minutes, the industry-standard
micron particulate coatings tested reached the failure point. The same test
utilizing nCoat's nano-formulated product did not fail through the entire
duration of a 60-minute test. The tests demonstrated a performance increase
for the nTech coating by a factor of up to six times over the competition.
"These three examples are spectacular singular achievements. Collectively
they raise the performance of custom formulated specialty coatings to new
previously unattainable levels," commented Paul S. Clayson, Chairman and
CEO of nCoat. "As these products complete their individual development
cycles and begin high volume production, the new commercial prospects in
the aerospace industry are substantial. These products could displace
current standard coatings in the industry."
