The Frost and Sullivan award is a big deal, found this on the Interpack website (Interpack is one of the world's leading trade fairs for processes and packaging). Interpak quotes Alexium's breakthrough technology as being impossible until now!
"Alexium Company, with locations in Perth, Australia, and Greer, South Carolina, uses nanotechnology to achieve significant effects with minimal use of material. The company’s process, originally developed by the U.S. Ministry of Defence, creates surfaces that are waterproof, oil-repellent, antimicrobial, anti-adhesive and UV resistant. The adhesion of nano particles is already being tested with textiles, paints and lacquers, packaging materials, glass and construction materials. Recently, Alexium celebrated a breakthrough with a nano composite carbon layer that makes nylon not only water-repellent and hard-wearing but also fire-retardant. This was impossible until now."
