Business Wire
Global Matrechs, Inc. http://www.globalmatrechs.com (OTCBB: GMTH)
reports that it has received the first commercial order for
NuCap(TM). The order was placed by Battelle-Pacific Northwest
Laboratory in Richland, WA located at the Hanford Nuclear Waste
Site. NuCap(TM) will be used to cover the walls of a "pit" in which
there has been a radiation spill. Battelle was looking for a
product that could adhere to concrete and to coat a radioactive
residue spill along with providing life time isolation. This means
Battelle wants to encapsulate this spill only one time. Michael
Sheppard, President of Global Matrechs, Inc. said, "Even though we
have shipped NuCap(TM) to Hanford in the past, this is an order for
a specific purpose and it is very satisfying to see the product
starting to get the type of interest we expected in the past."
Sheppard also stated "We are extremely pleased to have received our
first commercial order from product that has been manufactured by
Dow Corning, which demonstrates NuCap's applicability to cover
radiation spills. This order generates the first revenue from
NuCap(TM). We hope this will serve as a starting point and lead to
additional orders for such purposes in this market." Battelle was
looking for a sure one-time encapsulation material and having known
about NuCap(TM) wanted to use it. We shipped this order in March.
