Ecology Coatings Announces Awarding of Fifth U.S. Patent
Latest Patent Protects Manufacturing Process and Methods for Environmentally
Friendly Coating Used On a Wide Variety of Composite Materials
Hills, MI February 14, 2008 Ecology Coatings, Inc. (OTCBB:ECOC), a leader in the
discovery and development of nanotechnology-enabled, ultra-violet curable advanced materials,
today announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has awarded the company a patent for
Environmentally Friendly Coating Compositions for Coating Composites, Coated Composites
Therefrom, and Methods, Processes and Assemblages for Coating
Thereof. This U.S. patent, number 7,323,248, covers
the processes and underlying technologies for producing environmentally friendly
nanotechnology-enabled coatings for but not limited to, fiberglass, fire retardant fiberglass,
carbon fiber, fire retardant carbon fiber, Kevlar , and fire retardant Kevlar .
The processes and compositions protected by the patent combine to produce coatings that are
suitable for coating composite objects comprised of fiberglass, carbon fiber, and Kevlar . In
addition, the patent covers certain applications, including composite architectural panels, which
when incorporating Ecology s coatings technology, resist yellowing and allow the removal of
graffiti without harm to the panel surface.
Over the past several years, we have expended significant resources to pioneer and develop
advanced, multifunctional nanocoatings. As of today, including this patent award, Ecology owns
five issued U.S. patents, eight pending U.S. patents and twelve foreign patents pending, said
Richard Stromback, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Ecology Coatings. We intend to
aggressively expand our IP portfolio of multi-functional Liquid Nanotechnology advanced materials
while pursuing licensing and business development programs with highly focused business partners.
Ecology s Liquid Nanotechnology coatings provide superior wear, scratch resistance and hardness
with a single application, which reduces coating thickness and offers versatility in applications.
All of Ecology s coatings are ultra-violet curable, which provides for faster manufacturing
speeds, lower energy output and a smaller manufacturing footprint. Additionally, the coatings
contain no harmful solvents or other additives, eliminating and protecting against potential
corrosion or flash rusting.
