Truck-Lite Co. LLC, a worldwide leader in heavy-duty lighting, wire harness and visibility systems, has announced an exclusive partnership with NanoMech Industries, a global leader in nanotechnology innovation.
An ISO TS16949/ISO 14001 company, NanoMech’s nanomanufacturing processes take advantage of the novel properties of nano-scale (down to one billionth of a meter) to produce products that provide higher performance in many areas, including lubricants, dielectric materials, corrosion protection and other innovative compounds. Repeatable, reproducible and reliable nano manufacturing processes are at the heart of NanoMech’s next-generation product innovations.
The basis for this innovation is NanoMech’s patented and patents-pending nGlide platform technologies. nGlide nano-engineered formulations eradicate corrosion, provide enhanced barriers to moisture, dielectric protection and water washout resistance and reduce friction by orders of magnitude over traditional commodity products.
Through its long-term partnership with NanoMech, Truck-Lite will introduce an exciting new series of Nano line products, specially designed to provide a vastly improved level of performance-increasing resistance to electrical malfunction, corrosion and oxidation. Both Truck-Lite and NanoMech are vigilant and keenly aware of the significant threat that electrical system corrosion poses to the medium and heavy-duty trucking industries globally.
“Truck-Lite understands that the desire of the fleet is to find products that can last the life of the vehicle, and Truck-Lite’s new Nano product family moves us a giant step closer to achieving that goal,” said Brad Van Riper, senior vice president and chief technology officer of Truck-Lite. “Our agreement with NanoMech will allow us to offer a superior level and customer-focused product line to the industry.”
“We have dramatically improved the field of multi-functional protection, and our dielectric protection products have been tested and approved by the largest truck fleets and OEMs in the industry,” said Dr. Ajay Malshe, NanoMech founder and chief technology officer. “Nanoengineered materials provide unique material behavior, clinging to even the smoothest surfaces with a long-lasting electrical protective coating at the nanoscale. No other product can protect electrical interfaces to the nano-level like this technology; it stands up to the most extreme and harshest operating conditions and is perfect for the widest range of electric connections and interfaces, including LED lighting, batteries, harnesses and many more.”
“Our solutions are made possible by a powerful mechanical systems lens through which we view both present needs and future opportunities,” added James Phillips, NanoMech chairman and CEO. “NanoMech aims to revolutionize trucking performance, efficiency and sustainability. Our goal is to always out-science everyone else while working closely with industry leaders such as Truck-Lite.”
