Antibacterial Kitchenware Company: Nano Care Technology, Ltd. • • • What They Say “Antibacterial tableware and kitchen tools Tableware and kitchen tools play an important role in people¡¯s daily life. It is also one of the most usual ways to spread disease especially in public places like restaurant, cafes, and inns, etc. People always use traditional ways such as sterilizer to kill bacteria and germs but the result is not satisfied, because many bacteria and viruses survive or relive very quickly. Our Antibacterial tableware which with nano silver coating could kill the attached bacteria and microbial in ten minutes and the effect can last for a long time even permanently and keep the surface always clean. Thus, our antibacterial tableware and kitchen tools can prevent people from the following diseases: duodenitis caused by spirillums, virosis hepatitis, dysentery caused by salmonella and food poisoning caused by golden staphylococcus.” Clean Shoe Locker (Model KLENZ ) Company: Maha Corp™ What They Say “Nano-technology is a rapidly growing science of producing and utilizing nano-sized particle that measure in nanometers (1 nm is 1 billionth of a meter). Silver has been used for medical purposes for over 100 years and it has one of the most effective antibacterial and anti fungous properties. Nano-silver particles typically measure 25nm and they have extremely relatively large surface area, increasing their contact with bacteria or fungi. When nano-silvers contact with bacteria and fungi, they adversely affect cellular metabolism and inhibit cell growth and they finally kill them to almost 100 %.” Eagle One Nanowax® Company: Eagle One What They Say “NanoWax uses nano technology to fill in these scratches and conceal the swirl marks.

Innovative socks are naturally antibacterial and antifungal.” Alusion™ Alumina Powders Company: Advanced Nanotechnology Limited • What They Say • “Mechanochemical Processing technology (MCP) is a new manufacturing technique for nanopowders. In making Alusion™ alumina powder, dry-milling alumina triggers a chemical reaction, which makes a fine nanopowder form within a salt matrix. Next the powder is heat-treated, after which the salt is simply washed away. MCP is unique among technologies in producing uniformly distributed nanoparticles of approximately the same size; the average size of the alumina particles can be manipulated during the milling and heat-treatment steps of the process. In the final step, a water-repellent coating is added to the particles, which makes it possible to add the powder to a broad range of organic binders. • The uniform molecular structure of Alusion™ provides superior slip, adhesion and transparency. Specifically designed for use in cosmetics, it diffuses any light that the skin reflects, making wrinkles and fine lines difficult to see. Alusion™ is highly transparent, so the powder doesn’t change the skin’s natural hue. Although some similar technologies are unsuitable for use in cosmetics, Alusion™ is safe to use and approved by the FDA. It’s currently used in cosmetics such as face powders, foundations, eye shadow and lipstick, as well as bath and body products. But consider using Alusion™ in industrial applications; its properties would come in equally handy in high-temperature lubricants, pigment substrates, metal casting die release agents and slip additives for plastics.” • Ag Nano Phytoncide Toothpaste Company: SH Pharma Co Ltd • What They Say • “Ag Nano was developed to keep strong germ fighting effectiveness of silver longer and it keeps teeth white and healthy.
