Business Wire
Industrial Nanotech, Inc. (Pink Sheets:INTK), an emerging global
leader in nanoscience energy saving solutions, announced today that
their Turkish distributor, Kolorgen Ltd, has completed a successful
project with Unilever affiliate, Unipro, for insulation of steam
lines, valves and steam process equipment with the Company’s
patented Nansulate® energy saving coatings. Unipro used Nansulate®
High Heat insulation and corrosion control coating and Nansulate®
EPX, fast-cure, water-based epoxy insulation coating to insulate
equipment at their Corlu Tekirdag, Turkey, manufacturing facility.
Initial temperature readings taken showed a reduction of steam line
surface temperature from 160C (320F) down to 80C (176F) with an
approximate 3 millimeter application. The sustainability project
continues with insulation of cold liquid lines and storage
tanks.
“The more plants I visit throughout Turkey, the more I realize
the importance of Nansulate insulation in achieving energy saving
in a very thin and durable coating form,” stated Vedat Bilgin,
President, Kolorgen Ltd. “Large manufacturing plants have several
kilometers of steam and cold piping which are usually in several
lines next to, over, or under one another. This makes the
maintenance crew's job enormously difficult to have access to pipes
and insulation that needs changing. Using Nansulate, plant crews
will have thinnest insulation available in the world in a durable
form in harsh environments, as well as easy and rapid access to
pipelines that need attention."
Francesca Crolley, V.P. Business Development, Industrial
Nanotech, Inc., explains, “We find that in sustainability focused
companies, such as Unilever, we end up working with several of
their facilities simultaneously. Unilever is no exception to that.
We look forward to assisting them in meeting their sustainability
and energy saving goals while also providing other benefits, such
as improving worker safety by reducing hot surface temperatures, as
well as providing a solution with a long-lifespan, thus reducing
their maintenance costs.”
Unilever, which started production in Turkey in 1953, also has
produced vegetable oils and margarines which are among vital raw
materials for Turkish pastry sector and food industry since 1960s.
Unipro Gıda San. ve Tic. A.Ş., a Unilever affiliate, carries out
sales, marketing and commercial activities in pastry and industrial
food sectors, in addition to oils and fats and margarines.
