HCTI - Hybrid Coatings Technology (OTCQB:HCTI) Government DD, Patented Technology To Solve Huge Life Threatening Crisis Recently Addressed By The EPA HCTI Patented Technology to Solve Huge Life Threatening Crisis Recently Addressed by the EPA.. This is a very serious internationally wide spread crisis that is just now being addressed by the international governments as of late 2013, caused by the exposure of isocyanates. This situation is all to familiar in a very horrific way, very similar to Asbestos, but rather than exposure through insulation in this case its paints and coatings… Hybrid's patented technology is the only formulation in the world today that produces polyurethane without the use of any isocyanates in the entire production process! US Department of Labor Moves Against Isocyanates http://www.hybridcoatingtech.com/pdf/US-Department-of-Labor-Moves-Against-Isocyanates-July2.pdf US EPA Issues Action Plan To Deal With Toxic Isocyanates Isocyanates have been documented to cause asthma, lung damage and even death. The US Government has mentioned HCTI in their action plan to combat this serious life threatening issue! On page 4 of its Action Plan, which can be found at: http://www.epa.gov/oppt/existingchemicals/pubs/actionplans/mdi.pdf the scientists Figovsky and Shapovalov who are the founders of Hybrid's technology and who are presently continuing to develop enhanced and new formulations for the company, are mentioned as an alternative to toxic polyurethane. November 25, 2013 Safety and Health Magazine In an effort to control and protect workers from occupational exposure to isocyanates, OSHA has established a National Emphasis Program for industries and workplaces exposed to isocyanate hazards. http://www.safetyandhealthmagazine....in-the-workplace-exposure-effects-and-control Isocyanates Dangers: Isocyanates include compounds classified as potential human carcinogens and known to cause cancer in animals. https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/isocyanat...buffer&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Buffer On June 25, 2013 the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), a division of the US Department of Labor, initiated a National Emphasis Program to protect workers from the serious health effects from occupational exposure to isocyanates. Isocyanates are found in polyurethane based products. According to the OSHA, "Workers exposed to isocyanates can suffer debilitating health problems for months or even years after exposure which could result in death Isocyanates have been documented by the EPA to cause asthma, lung damage and even death. Health effects of isocyanate exposure include irritation of skin and mucous membranes, chest tightness, and difficult breathing. Isocyanates include compounds classified as potential human carcinogens and known to cause cancer in animals. The main effects of hazardous exposures are occupational asthma and other lung problems, as well as irritation of the eyes, nose, throat, and skin. CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) on Isocyanates http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/isocyanates/ This sounds like a similar problem to Asbestos, but rather than exposure through insulation in this case its paints and coatings… Its a good thing that the government addressed this issue last fall with a plan of action from the EPA, which named Hybrid Coatings Patented Technology as an easy solution! "Hybrid's patented technology is the only formulation in the world today that produces polyurethane without the use of any isocyanates in the entire production process. The polyurethane industry has started to feel pressure to deal with toxic isocyanates, which puts the Company in a strong position," said Joseph Kristul, President and CEO of Hybrid. "We have received a lot of interest from large players in our industry both for the quality and durability of our products and for the environmental benefits of our isocyanate free technology and we expect some of this interest to translate into collaborations and commercial agreements in the near future." This is the first time in over a decade that the US EPA has issued an action plan for the polyurethane industry. http://globenewswire.com/news-relea...tion-Plan-to-Deal-With-Toxic-Isocyanates.html HCTI Patented Technology - Green Polyurethane™ - Zero Isocyanates Hybrid's patented technology which is held by their parent company is the only formulation in the world today that produces polyurethane without the use of any isocyanates in the entire production process. Thanks to Hybrid Coating Technologies parent company Nanotech Industries, Inc, the holder of the patent on this amazing technology. HCTI is the exclusive licensee of Green Polyurethane(TM) coatings and paint - the world's first-ever patent protected polyurethane-based coatings and paint products which eliminate toxic isocyanates from the entire production process (licensed by their parent company Nanotech Industries, Inc.). http://www.nanotechindustriesinc.com/ Located at the bottom of the page on Nanotech Industries Website: "Licensing or Purchasing Green Polyurethane Products Green Polyurethane™ coatings and paint are licensed to Hybrid Coating Technologies for the North American and European markets. Click here to learn more about Hybrid Coating Technolgies coatings and paint." http://www.nanotechindustriesinc.com/GPU.php Green Polyurethane™ is the first-ever modified hybrid polyurethane, currently used in coatings and paint, manufactured without the use of toxic isocyanates throughout the entire production process, resulting in a substitute for conventional polyurethane and epoxies, which is hundreds of times less toxic, has superior properties and provides 30-60% in application costs. Green Polyurethane™ has been thoroughly reviewed and recommended by regulatory agencies as a substitute for conventional polyurethane. Green Polyurethane™ Advantages 1.
