Abakan Secures Test Orders From Major Industry Leaders
(firmenpresse) - MIAMI, FL -- (Marketwired) -- 07/15/15 -- (OTCQB: ABKI) ("Abakan"), an emerging leader in the advanced coatings markets, today announced that it has secured test orders from industry majors for its as a result of its presentations at the recent Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) and International Thermal Spray Conference (ITSC).
"Abakan exhibited its thermal spray coating powders at the ITSC and OTC events held in May, 2015, to educate thermal spray coating services providers, and oilfield, mining, and industrial companies, as to the attractive value proposition offered by thermal spray powders. The response was very encouraging with test orders secured from industry majors in North America, Asia and Europe for moly-boride based PComP-M and tungsten-carbide based PComP-W thermal spray powders. Several of the companies that placed test orders consume tens of thousands of pounds of thermal spray powders annually. Given the significantly longer life of our coatings in many of the most extreme environments, we are confident that some of these test orders will lead to long term sales commitments," .
"Of particular interest to most of these companies was our PComP-M product, which we are positioning as an industrial equivalent of Teflon* coating for molten metal applications. Our PComP-M coating protects tools and components exposed to molten metal from corrosion, and acts as a non-stick layer that prevents any kind of molten metal or dross build-up on the tool or component. Based on lab and field testing, our PComP-M coatings provide a 6 times longer useful life when compared to the current state-of-art moly boride powders and conventional tungsten carbide thermal spray powders. The economic value proposition is very simple, the cost of is similar to products currently available in the market but the useful life expectancy of the component or tool coated with is significantly longer. For example, instead of being forced to stop production and undergo 4 to 5 hours of maintenance down-time to replace worn components every week, you now only have to stop production for the same purpose every 6 to 8 weeks. Extended useful life reduces the downtime required for maintenance, decreases replacement costs, and over time effects material decreases in capital costs, which decreases can result in increases in net revenues generated by our customers," continued Mr. Miller.

thermal spray powders are the only thermal spray powders that lead to coatings that are both hard and tough, and hence despite the high hardness the coatings do not flake when bent. Additionally, is the only company in the world that manufactures titanium nitride and silicon nitride based PComP thermal spray powders; despite decades of research no other company has been able to make titanium nitride and silicon nitride based powders that can be sprayed using thermal spray coating systems.
coatings are cermets fabricated into a hierarchical structure, developed with microstructures, engineered at the nano-, micro- and meso- scale, to offer revolutionary performance and cost breakthroughs. These materials are formed with a nano-composite core and binder coating by combining low friction, high wear resistance and excellent corrosion resistant materials. The nano-composite core provides high wear resistance, low friction and, for Titanium-Nitride and Silicone-Nitride based powders, light weight, while the binders provide corrosion resistance, toughness, ductility, resiliency, and improved deposition efficiency. This combination results in a high toughness, ductile-phased toughened structure comprised of high hardness tiles separated by ductile binder laminates.
is a manufacturing methodology, not just a product, which means that, when utilizing the manufacturing methodology, can combine a variety of materials that usually do not go well together; leading to the best-in-class corrosion- and wear-protection. cermet coatings can replace electrolytic hard chrome, electroplating, spray and fuse, and thermal spray carbides to impart wear and corrosion resistance, and reduce friction in sliding wear applications. coatings are easy and fast to apply that machine to tight tolerances for dimensional restoration of OEM or worn E&P components. The family of coating materials has been designed to act as a drop-in replacement for and will work with today''s existing application systems.
