Ecology Coatings Announces Awarding of Fifth U.S. Patent
Latest Patent Protects Manufacturing Process and Methods for Environmentally
Friendly Coating Used On a Wide Variety of Composite Materials
Bloomfield Hills, MI – February 14, 2008 – Ecology Coatings, Inc. (OTCBB:ECOC), a leader in the discovery and development of nanotechnology-enabled, ultra-violet curable advanced materials, today announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has awarded the company a patent for “Environmentally Friendly Coating Compositions for Coating Composites, Coated Composites Therefrom, and Methods, Processes and Assemblages for Coating Thereof.” This U.S. patent, number 7,323,248, covers the processes and underlying technologies for producing environmentally friendly nanotechnology-enabled coatings for but not limited to, fiberglass, fire retardant fiberglass, carbon fiber, fire retardant carbon fiber, Kevlar®, and fire retardant Kevlar®.
The processes and compositions protected by the patent combine to produce coatings that are suitable for coating composite objects comprised of fiberglass, carbon fiber, and Kevlar®. In addition, the patent covers certain applications, including composite architectural panels, which when incorporating Ecology’s coatings technology, resist yellowing and allow the removal of graffiti without harm to the panel surface.
“Over the past several years, we have expended significant resources to pioneer and develop advanced, multifunctional nanocoatings. As of today, including this patent award, Ecology owns five issued U.S. patents, eight pending U.S. patents and twelve foreign patents pending,” said Richard Stromback, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Ecology Coatings. “We intend to aggressively expand our IP portfolio of multi-functional Liquid Nanotechnology™ advanced materials while pursuing licensing and business development programs with highly focused business partners.”
Ecology’s Liquid Nanotechnology coatings provide superior wear, scratch resistance and hardness with a single application, which reduces coating thickness and offers versatility in applications. All of Ecology’s coatings are ultra-violet curable, which provides for faster manufacturing speeds, lower energy output and a smaller manufacturing footprint. Additionally, the coatings contain no harmful solvents or other additives, eliminating and protecting against potential corrosion or flash rusting.
