This material is one of the most chemically resistant polymers available and exhibits a superior combination of strength, stiffness and toughness making it ideally suited for medical device applications. Invibio offers PEEK-CLASSIX polymer in black and white unfilled grades. This agreement enables medical and pharmaceutical companies to purchase custom formulations and colors directly through Foster, which increases Foster?s product offerings, and extends Invibio?s customer base.

?Foster?s dedication and focus on providing customized polymer compounds to the biomedical market is a perfect complement to our portfolio of core PEEK-CLASSIX polymer grades,? said Michael Callahan, President of Invibio. ?With this agreement, customers will have a significantly wider range of material solutions developed from our PEEK-CLASSIX polymer.?

Novo Energies Corporation (OTCBB: NVNC) Trading at +45%

admin — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 18:33:51 +0000

In 2009, the U.S. produced enough plastic bottles to stretch around the world 190 times. According to plastics manufacturing industry, it takes around 3.4 megajoules of energy to make a typical one-liter plastic bottle, cap, and packaging. A barrel of oil contains around 6,000 megajoules, and the Pacific Institute estimates that the equivalent of more than 17 million barrels of oil was needed to produce these plastic bottles in 2009 in the United States. In addition, rubber tires represent another problem which the world hasn’t successfully dealt with. Each year, motorists in the U.S. generate about 1 scrap tire for every man, woman, and child in the country. There are currently over 250 million tires in stockpiles and landfills in the United States and over 300 million tires per year are added. It takes about 7 gallons of oil to produce one tire, amounting to 2.1 billion gallons of oil used only to produce tires in the U.S.

Novo Energies Corporation (OTCBB: NVNC) works within the renewable energy sector, developing and implementing renewable energy solutions while maintaining its commitment to conserve energy, natural resources, and help reduce pollutants and unwanted wastes. Novo Energies utilizes a technology which is a combination of pyrolysis and advance gasification technologies. The combination of these technologies allows Novo to convert inorganic wastes such as plastics and scrap tires into synthesis gas which is a mixture of Hydrogen and Carbon monoxide. The company is currently trading at $.16, up $.05 or 45.45%.

On June 4th, the company announced that it entered into a Technology Co-Operation Agreement with Novo Energies International, Ltd. (NEI). NEI is a Hong Kong based company with the primary objective to commercialize green technologies throughout the world. NEI has been granted an exclusive license for all world markets excluding the Americas to commercialize Novo’s technology and know-how to transform scrap tire feedstocks to syn-gas and Fischer-Tropsch diesel and to convert waste plastics to energy in certain circumstances. As part of the agreement, Novo received 12.5% ownership in NEI based upon a proposed funding of NEI of £3,000,000. NEI and Novo are working closely to select the site for the first plant. Specifically, they are evaluating locations in Australia, Thailand, and South Africa.

“NEI has been established to commercialize cutting edge green technologies on a world-wide basis. We have spent considerable time and capital identifying what we believe to be the next breakthrough technology in the green space. After reviewing numerous technologies and businesses, NEI has determined that Novo’s know-how & technologies provide the best fit with NEI’s goals to produce an energy product from waste tires and plastics. We look forward to potentially operating plants utilizing Novo’s technology and know-how throughout the world,” said Mr. Rupert Hadlow, Director for Novo Energies International, Ltd.
