Crockett continued, “During the conference call, we will be discussing the
milestones reached over the last six months, including the decision to focus on
our paper barrier technology, which enhances the performance of paper products,
a $4 billion industry; and the metal finishing powder coat industry, which
generates $5 billion annually in material sales. Companies in the metals
industry are searching for a technology platform that will allow them to lighten
the weight and cost of their products. Many companies in this industry are also
positioning themselves to take advantage of the monies being provided by the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to companies that are reducing their
energy usage and carbon footprint.”
