ApNano Materials, Inc. a provider of nanotechnology-based
products, has announced that the pan-European FOREMOST consortium has
completed the development of its first composite coating, based on ApNano
Materials' nanoparticles (inorganic fullerenes - IF).
The new coating is being considered for plating advanced
parts by some of FOREMOST partners and other industrial firms, to achieve
improved efficiency, reduced emission, and extended equipment lifetimes
in harsh conditions. The coating developed by FOREMOST has better lubricating
properties than several commercially available ones tested under the same
conditions, lasting tens of thousands cycles longer.
The innovative coating was introduced in a meeting of
the scientific and executive committee of FOREMOST (Fullerene-based Opportunities
for Robust Engineering: Making Optimized Surfaces for Tribology), held
in Israel in February.
"We are proud that this distinguished pan-European
consortium has introduced the new coating, based on our technology, which
will contribute to the global efforts to save energy and reduce pollution,"
said Dr. Menachem Genut, President and CEO of ApNano Materials.
"The achievement of the FOREMOST consortium, and
the fact that its members include top European manufacturers, further
demonstrate the commercial potential of our technology," said Aharon
Feuerstein, co-Founder, Chairman and CFO of ApNano Materials.
