K imo to mass market the product you have to verify and issue equivalency data with R factors since that is what the public is familiar with when you speak of insulative values.

You may however mass market to industry with good SOLID and CREDIBLE test RESULTs which support the claims. That means something along the lines of UL data or some other very highly accredited TESTing firm.

If that were done years ago when suggested repeatedly and if the results bore out the fantastic claims, then it would be far easier to market and the company would be 50x larger most likely.

I have seen 1st hand a few very successful start up firms but none which were successful being so ill run as this operation. Unfortunately if INTK is successful, (without a buyout), it will be by mistake rather than design, jmho based on their years of results.

K, It must not be as easy as that, since Petrobras has had years now to test & validate, and supposedly they've done so... with Nansulate, a product which could save them tens of millions of dollars due to less CUI as well as insulation properties for their pipelines and/or facilities. Yet, they have not. So, we may not be to keen to assume GE will move quickly if at all. It'd be nice, but something seems out of whack. If it is as simple as a big firm being exposed to Nansulate, then Petrobras would have put their $$ where their mouth is by now after 4 or 5 years of investigating the product.

No need to remind me about organizational changes, etc. If they were proving big time benefits with Nansulate, then they'd be buying the stuff no matter who's in charge. Regardless of other changes. All companies want to save money, profit is all they care about, and with the low expenditure needed to apply Nansulate it's even easier to justify.

Some assumptions we can make: The auto manufacturer obviously declined to use it, the major electronics mfgr obviously declined to use it, GASCO declined further use, PEMEX hasn't moved quickly as claimed thus far or else we'd have seen a PR about sales, Petrobras didn't feel the urge despite the CEO saying 50,000 gallons was requested for production which never happened, PlaceMakers chain in New Zealand obviously didn't sell the stuff much, the housing in Australia or was it Africa didn't happen, the US Army tested it but opted out so far(?), and the list is very LONG regarding LARGE initiatives or companies who've supposedly tested the stuff but not ordered. Why not?? They got great results but decided they didn't want to save money and energy?
