ano Mask Inc. (PINKSHEETS: NANM) has entered into an licensing agreement with Noble
Biomaterials, Inc., from whom Nano Mask will license Noble‘s X-STATIC®
technology to use in their
lab coats and operating room jackets. Nano Mask has contracted Georgia based Encompass Group LLC to manufacture these new products.
X-STATIC® fibers are permanently bonded with a
layer of 99.9% pure metallic silver. This silver layer is the key to powerful antimicrobial and anti-odor pro-
perties, as it creates an ionic shield that permanently inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi on the fa- bric. Fabrics made with X-STATIC fibers are flexible, with the natural look and feel of traditional textiles, while offering all the benefits of pure silver.
“We have already started taking orders of the new X-STATIC®
based laboratory coats and have placed
our first order with Encompass; we expect additional orders of the lab coats and warm-up jackets,” said Ed Suydam, President and CEO, Nano Mask.
