NanoMech, an international material science company and leader in nanotechnology innovation, yesterday revealed a partnership with KDH Defense Systems Inc. to deploy technology that will keep soldiers and law enforcement professionals healthier and more comfortable through KDH’s award winning body armor.
“We are very excited to announce our partnership with a U.S. Defense manufacturer of the caliber and reputation of KDH Defense Systems,” said Jim Phillips, chairman and CEO of NanoMech. “Our companies have worked together secretly for the last two years, backed by a Department of Defense grant award, to develop innovative strategic solutions for our soldiers.”
Phillips added, “NanoMech is also working with KDH to finalize the development of an advanced structured coating specifically engineered for hard military armors significantly reducing premature damages to hard plates from handling and transportation in the supply chain. These novel coatings will have thousands of applications.”
KDH Defense Systems CEO Dave Herbener said, “We pride our company not only on exceptional design expertise, but also on continuous process improvement. NanoMech’s nGuard is the best bacteria resistant shield we have ever tested, and it is a perfect fit for our product portfolio”
Ajay Malshe, NanoMech’s CTO and founder of the privately held company, said, “nGuard delivers unsurpassed performance such as elimination of bacteria, fungus, and odor, while retaining color fastness, extending the efficacy and life of the product. Our patent-pending technology is inspired by unique but simple phenomena in nature. nGuard is bio-inspired, providing the most effective and safe method for bacteria removal.”
