Homeland Security Concerns Offer Opportunity
KIRKLAND, Wash., Sep 24, 2002 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Universal Ice Blast, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: UIBI) announced today that their Ice Blast technology has been successfully tested and proven for nuclear decontamination. Both Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory have achieved superior decon results with Ice Blast. The INEEL report stated: " ... the easy choice for routine use with guaranteed results is the Universal Ice Blast, Inc. Ice Blast system. It was the winner in effectiveness and also in nearly every category of the criteria evaluation."
"With today's extreme concern for Homeland Security and dirty bombs in particular, the validation of the ice blast technology for nuclear cleanup presents a major opportunity for the company. We are now ready to expand beyond the automotive industry," added Sam Visaisouk, Ph.D., President and COO of UIBI.
Since Universal Ice Blast has achieved 6 Sigma capability, following the successful installation at Ford's Sharonville, Ohio plant, the Ford Motor Company has requested quotes for additional machines.
"The acceptance of the Ice Blast technology for the automotive and nuclear industries, as well as its proven use for lead paint abatement and general industrial cleaning, bodes well for successfully accomplishing our business plan," noted Visaisouk. Universal Ice Blast, Inc. has a patented process known as the Ice Blast Technology. UIBI has positioned the technology into three, billion-dollar markets: Precision Cleaning (automated production cleaning/de-burring): Industrial Cleaning (fixed systems parts cleaning, petro-chemical and pulp and paper): and Environmental Cleaning (lead paint and asbestos abatement off steel bridges and building structures). Since 1995 the company has actively engaged in developing its technology for these markets. Substantial testing and field-research with major clients within large markets has now brought the company to full commercialization of its products in these markets.
