Corporate Overview

NaturalNano,Inc.is an advanced materials company engaged in extracting, refining and commercializing naturally occurring nanomaterials that add competitive properties to a wide range of applications. Founded in 2004,the company’s strategy is to:

•Develop unique,state-of-the-art proprietary processes for refining naturally occurring halloysite nanotubes and other nanomaterials

•Provide nanotubes along with proprietary applications and technologies to product manufacturers

•Provide licenses to make,sell and use products that include these technologies

The company’s near-term goals focus on:

• Developing core technology and application processes using halloysite nanotubes

• Continuing to build its IP portfolio

• Forging strategic alliances with major companies who can benefit competitively from NaturalNano’s technologies

• Making commercial quantities of high-quality naturally occurring nanotubes available for a wide variety of uses

The company anticipates refining and commercializing other naturally occurring nanoscale materials in future programs.

Halloysite nanotubes are naturally formed in the Earth over millions of years. Like carbon nanotubes, halloysite nanotubes are ultra-tiny hollow tubes. Diameters are typically smaller than 100 nanometers (100 billionths of a meter).
Lengths generally range from about 500 nanometers to over 1.2 microns (millionths of a meter).

Halloysite nanotubes are found in large quantities in the Earth. However, the process of mining and separating them poses technical challenges. Consequently, NaturalNano scientists and engineers are developing patent-pending proprietary processes for extracting and separating specific types of nanotubes from halloysite clay.

Under the company’s arrangement with Atlas Mining Company, NaturalNano can place its proprietary processing techniques at Atlas’ facilities. Working at the Atlas site would save NaturalNano the expense of shipping halloysite clay to a remote site for nanotube extracting and refining.

Company management expects that the site’s supply of halloysite nanotubes will be sufficient to meet NaturalNano’s needs in the near term. Other sources of halloysite nanotubes are also available elsewhere in the world.

Commercial Applications

NaturalNano has identified over 200 potential commercial applications for naturally occurring nanotubes.They can be coated or filled with many different materials to achieve a wide variety of electrical,chemical and physical properties. Their unique characteristics also enable them to control and extend the release of active ingredients.This can provide competitive market advantage in applications that use ingredients that can rapidly dissipate. Numerous products could benefit from an extended effective use-time. For example:

•Sunscreens,moisturizers,perfumes,cosmetics and other personal care products

•Deodorants and other odor-masking products for home and industrial applications

•Drug delivery

•Antifouling paint,antiscalants,antimicrobials,pesticides,pest repellents,flavors,pharmaceuticals and other agents in which a controlled release is important

Other potential applications include:

•Polymers,plastics and composites. Natural nanotubes may add strength and ductility to household products as well as automotive and aerospace applications.

•Electronics and microcircuitry. Natural nanotubes can be coated with metals which may improve radio frequency in electromagnetic shielding.RF shielding for auditoriums and theaters could be made from metal-coated halloysite mixed into paint.This would block cell-phone signals and prevent interruptions of concerts and movies.

•Agriculture. Natural nanotubes may extend the life of herbicides and reduce the total amount of pesticides required to protect crops.

•Absorbent materials,coating additives,advanced ceramics,hydrogen storage and more.

Market Opportunity

The nanotechnology industry is just at the beginning of its growth cycle.

• Industry revenues for 2006 are expected to total approximately $25 billion

• By 2015 the National Science Foundation projects that industry sales will exceed one trillion dollars for all products,services and goods related to nano technology.

• Polymers and plastics,one of NaturalNano’s primary potential markets,currently represents a $300 billion industry in the U.S. alone.(Source:Society of the Plastics Industry testimony given to the House Ways and Means Committee,04/14/05)

The properties of NaturalNano’s aluminosilicate nanotubes differ significantly from the properties of laboratory-produced carbon nanotubes.

• Natural nanotubes vary widely in length and diameter.This broadens their potential range of applications.

• The properties of carbon nanotubes make them technically challenging to fill or coat with active ingredients,especially in the large volumes required for commercial purposes.Thus,for many applications they are cost-prohibitive.

• NaturalNano’s naturally occurring nanotubes may be more easily loaded with a vast array of fillings.This makes them a more cost-effective alternative for a wider spectrum of applications.

Halloysite nanotubes also enjoy a competitive advantage relative to other additives which provide controlled and extended release of active ingredients.

• Other additives typically release a large volume of the active ingredient too quickly in an early burst.

• In contrast, NaturalNano’s nanotubes deliver a more even,sustained release which many products require to achieve maximum effectiveness.

• In addition, halloysite nanotubes are environmentally benign and generally regarded as safe.

The unique nature of NaturalNano’s products positions the company advantageously to capitalize on future industry growth. Halloysite nanotubes are produced naturally in the Earth.This saves the cost of fabricating them in a laboratory.

•NaturalNano’s industry leadership was recognized at the 2005 NanoBusiness conference in New York City.Here the company was honored as the “First Nano Company Exploiting Naturally Formed Nanotubes.”
