GUELPH, ON / ACCESSWIRE / September 19, 2022 / Zentek Ltd. ('Zentek' or the 'Company') (Nasdaq:ZTEK)(TSX-V:ZEN), an intellectual property development and commercialization company, has successfully completed sand erosion testing at the National Research Council ('NRC') in Ottawa and rain erosion testing at the Anti-icing Materials International Laboratory ('AMIL') in Quebec on Zentek's patent-pending Icephobic Coatings. These results, when taken with the strong performance under accelerated ageing announced March 14, 2022, demonstrate that the company's icephobic technology is durable in adverse conditions for both wind turbine and drone industries, where Zentek is currently maintaining its focus.
Summary of overall results to date as reported by the NRC and AMIL:
'We are very happy with both the performance and durability test results for our icephobic coating and look forward to continued testing and demonstration of our technology,' said Greg Fenton, CEO of Zentek. 'Ice accretion is a significant problem in the drone and wind turbine industries with few robust solutions currently available. We believe our patent-pending technology may be a new innovative approach to addressing a significant global need and look forward to continued discussions with drone and wind turbine market participants who see value in potentially more effective icephobic technologies.'
Zentek has filed a full patent application with the Patent Cooperation Treaty, the international patent office, on August 2nd, 2022, for Nanomaterial-Enhanced Elastomer for Passive Ice Accretion Prevention. The patent application will publish approximately 6 months from the date of filing, marking the beginning of the 12-month national phase for Zentek to apply directly in each country of interest.
