NES ZIONA, Israel: NanoMaterials, Ltd.,
a producer of industrial nano-scale additives for lubricants and enhanced
composites, announced today that Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited
(HPCL), India, has launched two new advanced lubricant products, the Rhino
and HP Numaro Uno, both of which are powered by NanoLub(R), a unique
performance-enhancing nanotechnology product. NanoLub, which contains
billions of spherical nano-particles, is NanoMaterials' proprietary
nanotechnology-based line of lubricant-enhancing additive products that
significantly reduce friction and wear. These particles, based on safe
tungsten disulfide, provide super-lubricating properties to oils and greases
and are sold as concentrates or pastes either to lube manufacturers as an
additive or as after-market products.
The launch of the Rhino, a fully formulated gear oil with dual
anti-friction and anti-wear capabilities, and HP Numaro Uno, a new engine oil
targeted for the aftermarket, set HPCL as the first company to introduce nano
lubricants into the market in India. "The adoption of NanoMaterials'
nano-based additives to our new products Rhino and HP Numaro Uno signifies an
exciting step towards occupying the top end of the Indian lube market," said
Mr. R. Sudhakara Rao, Executive Director - Direct Sales, HPCL. Niles
Fleischer, CEO, NanoMaterials adds: "This recent collaboration with HPCL
marks a significant penetration of NanoMaterials into the Indian Market,
representing one of the largest lubricant markets in the world; we are proud
to have them as a valued customer."
