(March 26 2012) – TORONTO, ONTARIO- Toronto-based Integran Technologies, Inc. (Integran) today announced that it has licensed its nano Cobalt electroplating process (Nanovate™ CoP) to Montreal-based Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. (PWCC) for deployment as an alternative to hard chromium electroplating in gas turbine power plant applications for aerospace use.

Integran’s nanotechnology can be used to replace existing hard chromium plating processes known to cause adverse health effects ranging from lung cancer to skin ulcerations. The highly efficient Nanovate™ CoP coating process avoids these health issues and furthermore reduces greenhouse gas emissions and water pollution.

“The agreement with Pratt & Whintey is a major milestone in the continuing penetration of our Nanovate™ CoP plating technology into the aerospace and industrial sectors”, said Dr. Gino Palumbo, Integran’s President and CEO.
