Nanotechnology is the science of building and manipulating materials, devices and processes on the scale of atoms and molecules - one simulated nano structurebillionth of a meter. The convergence of chemistry, physics, and engineering at this scale enables the creation of materials with revolutionary properties and greatly enhanced functionality. Recognizing an emerging opportunity to use nano-formulated coatings and processes to dramatically improve the performance characteristics of surface treatments in mature industries while recognizing that the material science industry development of new alloys to meet increasing technology demands has slowed, nCoat has identified an overall increase in demand for surface treatment and composite materials. Accordingly, nCoat has devised innovative proprietary formulations to meet these increasingly back to toprigorous performance requirements of our valued customers.

Research and Development Strategy

With forward-thinking research and development driving a growing portfolio of intellectual property, we have identified key nano-level particulates and processes that produce significantly beneficial properties and capabilities unlike any currently available in the marketplace. nCoat's coatings are stronger, lighter, denser, more adhesive, and better able to withstand the heat, pressure and exposure of today's demanding applications.

To spur innovation in both coatings products and production processes, we are acquiring high caliber, revenue-positive companies within the highly fragmented annual $3.7 billion high performance coatings industry. nCoat fuels corporate growth by providing capital and nanotech expertise alongside our proprietary formulas.

History

First HPC plant Oklahoma City, OK

Current HPC Headquarters Whitsett, NC

In September 2005, we acquired High Performance Coatings (HPC), a world leader in coatings blending and application. HPC provides an top fuel intakeoperational base to formulate and commercialize traditional high performance coatings and to launch our proprietary nano-formulated coatings products. Today HPC has four operational production facilities delivering many unique nanoscale and traditional coatings to meet the exacting needs of customers in more than a dozen industries. HPC is a worldwide leader in advanced coating technology with a solid customer base that includes major world-wide automotive, trucking, aerospace and recreational vehicle manufacturers and back to topgovernment agencies such as NASA and the US Military.

A wholly owned subsidiary, nTech, Inc., develops and holds proprietary intellectual property and further licenses coatings facilities at customers' manufacturing plants, leveraging a unique and market differentiating distributed production strategy.
