Nanotech Industries International d/b/a "Hybrid Coating Technologies" (HCT) is a San Francisco-based innovator focused on improving the quality and safety of coatings and paint for industrial and commercial customers around the world. We are the exclusive licensee of Green Polyurethane™ 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 Nanotech Industries, Inc.).
The Problem of Conventional Coatings/Paint and Isocyanates
Conventional polyurethane (PU) paint and coatings have many disadvantages: they are porous, permeable and maintain poor hydrolytic stability. This makes the material highly vulnerable to environmental degradation and ultimately leads to their chemical decomposition, especially when in contact with water. Even worse, the manufacture of conventional polyurethane involves highly toxic components such as isocyanates, which can cause irritation of skin and mucous membranes, chest tightness, difficult breathing, upset stomach, fevers and prolonged exposure has been known to cause severe asthma and even death.
The Green Polyurethane™ Solution
Global coatings and paint companies, suppliers and consumers are seeking green solutions that make business sense. However, "green" has often meant fewer features, higher cost or lower quality. Green Polyurethane™ (also referred to as "HNIPU" - hybrid non-isocyanate polyurethane) provides the world's first sound solution to the environmental and health hazards of isocyanates in polyurethane, costs up to 20% less to apply, and presents significant improvements to the properties of conventional polyurethane.
