Nanotechnology
“Seal-It International has one of the only known sealants on planet
earth manufactured using the latest techniques in Nanotechnology!”
Nanotechnology is the science and technology of precisely
manipulating the structure of matter at the molecular level. The term
nanotechnology embraces many different fields and specialties, including
engineering, chemistry, electronics, and medicine, among others, but all are
concerned with bringing existing technologies down to a very small scale,
measured in nanometers. A nanometer—a billionth of a meter—is about the
size of six carbon atoms in a row. (The prefix nano- comes from the Greek word
nanos, which meant "little old man" or "dwarf.") Today, as
in the past, most industrial products are created by pushing piles of millions
of atoms together—by mixing, grinding, heating—a very imprecise process.
However, scientists can now pick up individual atoms to assemble
them into simple structures or cause specific chemical reactions.
The science will make most products lighter, stronger,
cleaner, less expensive and more precise. The goal of nanotechnology is
to improve our control over how we build things, so that our products can be of
the highest quality while causing the lowest environmental impact.
Nanotechnology Is Changing Industries...
Imagine materials 10 times stronger than steel at a fraction
of the weight... a Pentium computer on a pinhead, sealants that can increase
product life to 100 years. The technology behind our sealants is
revolutionizing the sealing industry!
