Industrial Nanotech Inc., a maker of energy-saving products based on nanotechnology in Naples, Florida, reported today development of thermal insulation coating that can work on surfaces of at least 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The nanotech-based product called Nansulate Extreme High Heat was made from a request by the Saudi European Petrochemical Company, Ibn Zahr, to insulate a 2.1 mile pipeline transporting high pressure steam.
Stuart Burchill, the CEO of Industrial Nanotech says the company has tested the coating on surface temperatures as high as 1,004 degrees, adding “We have reason to believe the coating can also be used on surfaces with temperatures up to 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit and will finish our due diligence in that extraordinarily high temperature environment over the next few months.”
The Saudi European Petrochemical Company, Ibn Zahr, is an affiliate of the Saudi Basic Industries Corporation. The company makes methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) and polypropylene from methanol, butane, and propylene feedstocks.
