Abstract:
Red Spot to manufacture and sell for use in applications in North America
Ecology Coatings Licenses Ultraviolet Curable Coating Technology to Red Spot
Akron, OH | May 17, 2005
Ecology Coatings Inc., a leading provider of
nano-engineered ultraviolet curable coatings, and Red Spot Paint & Varnish,
announced today that Ecology Coating granted Red Spot a license to
manufacture and sell a proprietary product for use in applications in North
America. Terms of the licensing agreement were not disclosed.
"From the beginning, we saw tremendous potential in collaborating with
Ecology Coatings," said Tim Tanner, UV product manager, Red Spot. "With
Ecology Coatings' breakthrough 100 percent liquid solids, UV curable
technology and Red Spot's premier UV curable manufacturing and processing
technology, this licensing agreement was a natural fit. As longtime leaders
in the UV curable coating market, Red Spot already has the complete
infrastructure in place to launch and supply the company's innovative
coatings technology."
Ecology Coatings' proprietary coatings deliver superior performance and
enable dramatic process efficiencies for manufacturers. The company's
breakthrough 100 percent solids formulations contain no water, solvents or
other liquid components that need to evaporate for the coating to set; a
characteristic that reduces manufacturing line space by 80 percent, cuts
energy consumption by 75 percent and dramatically decreases EPA reporting
requirements. With a curing process that requires only a few seconds of
ultraviolet light exposure, the durable coatings are particularly well
suited for heat-sensitive applications that cannot withstand the high
temperatures of the traditional finishing process.
"By licensing our technology to an industry leader like Red Spot, we're able
to quickly and effectively deliver our high-performance, process efficient
coatings to market," said Rich Stromback, CEO of Ecology Coatings. "Through
the agreement, we're supplying manufacturers with a product that offers the
durability of traditional coatings with substantial advantages in terms of
the time and energy needed on the manufacturing line."
