Trulstech ("the Company") (incorporated in Sweden
& Australia) has developed (through its associated company Biomimetic
Technology Ltd) all the world-wide rights in an exciting, multi-award
winning and extremely environmentally friendly "family" of non-toxic
fire/flame retardants for application to various commercial products/materials. The Company has decided to now sell these world-wide rights to suitable
manufacturers so that the Company can concentrate on its core business
of high-tech product-development (rather than manufacturing, marketing
and selling products).
The national rights limited to Europe (including the former USSR) were
sold in July, 2011.
This Executive Summary has been prepared by the Company as a "preliminary
document" for parties who may be
"Molecular Heat Eater®" [MHE®] comprises complete outstanding
family of cost-effective, non-toxic, eco-friendly and biodegradable
fire/flame retardant products, developed on low carbon sustainability
innovation technology.
Patents have been applied for throughout the world.
Most fire/flame retardants in use today contain many harmful chemicals
that escape into (and migrate through) and pollute the environment.
Upon combustion these harmful chemicals release toxic gases that can
kill or cause severe respiratory injuries to humans. These chemicals
will frequently have a negative impact on human genes which will affect
future generations.
This is NOT the case with "Molecular Heat Eater®" which
family of fire retardants only contain food grade chemicals (in approved
quantities and concentrations) of a type found in daily foodstuffs,
e.g., grapes, fruit and bread. The fire/flame retardants are marketed under the brand name MHE®
Biomimicry or biomimetics comes from the Greek words bios, meaning
life, and mimesis, meaning to imitate. In other words, it is the adoption
of nature and its models, systems, processes, and elements to adapt
to solve human problems. By the application of intellectual and practical know-how concerning
how to handle and control the ingoing parameters - in terms of proton
donators, volatile cat-ions, non-flammable gas, carbon sources, pH etc.,
- each one of the fire/flame retardant products is individually composed
to meet each polymer, plastic or fibre materials requirement to achieve
the relevant required fire safety standard.
In July 2011 some national MHE® Patents - strongly limited to the
geographical territory of Europe including the former USSR - were sold
to the Swedish listed company Deflamo AB.
MHE® products have received international prestigious awards every
year since December 2003 until today.

product family - is a part of Trulstech Group.
Worldwide, fires are the 4th leading cause of accidental death. Primarily, it is the toxic smoke released by fires that kills or causes
harm by attacking the respiratory systems of humans. Today, fire/flame retardants are frequently applied on commercial products
primarily aimed for the business markets in North America, Europe and
Australia. As mentioned earlier most of these fire retardants are extremely deleterious
to the lives and health of both present and future generations of humans.
MHE® is the prime safe alternative to the harmful chemical fire/flame
retardants that are found in most consumer products made of polymer,
plastic or fibre materials.
The global Flame Retardant (FR) market business represents $ 6-7 billion
USD per annum with a market growth of 6.9% annually(2011).
The Australian Patent Agency - Collison
& Co - in Adelaide, South Australia has made all patent applications
regarding MHE®. Patents for MHE® have been applied for or granted in the following
countries;
OVERVIEW
The brand name of the non-toxic fire/flame retardants is MHE®.
potentially interested in purchasing these rights as they relate to
the rest of the world (i.e. outside Europe, and the countries which
now represent the former USSR).
THE PRODUCT
The products are based on foodstuffs which have been consumed by humans
for thousands of years without any negative impact on health or environment.
METHOD - THE TECHNICAL VALUE
MHE® is a prime example of Biomimetics.
THE CURRENT POSITION WITH MHE®
Deflamo AB is limited to produce, market and sell MHE® products
only within Europe and only under the brand name Apyrum®.
Deflamo AB is under no circumstances allowed to grant licenses to a
third party operating outside Europe.
AWARDS
WHY MHE® - THE NON-TOXIC FIRE/FLAME RETARDANT?
In the US alone fires take more than 3,000 lives per year.
In the western industrialized world the figures are estimated to be
about 10 times that.
14% of infant deaths in the western industrialized world are due to
fire.
The scale of accidents and deaths caused by fire in developing countries
may be even more.
The number of humans injured by fire greatly exceeds the number of deaths.
The heat is very painful and can cause severe human injuries for the
rest of a victim's life.
The cost to society is enormous.
Most of the commercial application products aimed for the business markets
are manufactured in Asia-Pacific.
Furthermore, the cost of MHE® products makes them very competitive.
In particular MHE® products are market price competitive in metric
tons (MT) in respect of the Chinese market for fire/flame retardant
products.
BUSINESS MARKET
80% ($ 4.8-5.6 billion USD) of the FR business market is outside Europe.
48% ($ 2.9-3.4 billion USD) of the global FR business market belongs
to Asia-Pacific.
In China alone 850,000 metric tons (MT) per annum of FR are applied
on consumer products.
China corresponds to c. 40% ($ 2.4-2.8 USD) of the FR business market
in Asia-Pacific.
These figures are based on the current average market bulk price in
China.(2011).
For example, the most frequently used flame retardant in China is Antimony.
The Antimony bulk price in China (Q3/2011) was $ 13,000 USD per metric
tons (MT) (reported by Roskill Sept 2011).
PATENTS
It began in August 2003 [WO 2004/015026 A1] when the first MHE®
patent was filed. Since then it has continued with another MHE®
patent filed in year 2008 [WO 2008122076 A1] and it will be followed
by a new MHE® patent application this year 2013.
PATENT VALUATION
- FUNCTION: MHE® Patent provides the opportunity to apply non-toxic and eco-friendly and biodegradable fire/flame retardant product treatment on polymer, plastic and fibrous materials.
- PERFORMANCE: At decomposition of MHE® treated materials both extinguishing and cooling effects take place. Other known fire/flames retardants don't offer that.
- COST OF PRODUCTION COMPARED WITH THE CLOSEST TECHNOLOGY: MHE® contains only food grade raw material in respect of approved quantities and in concentrations like you find in daily foodstuff such as in grapes, fruits and bread. Due this MHE® raw material products are easy to obtain globally and without control option for the chemical process industry in terms of price and availability.
- SCOPE OF PROTECTION: Very substantial modification to the product would need to be effected by any competitor to avoid an infringement of the MHE® IP.
- PROTECTED PART OF THE VALUE: The MHE® patents represent a technical paradigm shift regarding fire/flame retardants. However, on top of that the MHE® intellectual property contains lots of other product application "know-how". For example, the patents don't contain information about the demands on raw material purity and quality, the step-by-step chemical processing in combination with respective pH-data, the individual mixture in terms of raw material concentrations and quantity to achieve the correct mixture for each host material treatment.
- INTRUSION DETECTION: MHE® at decomposition only
generates water and carbon dioxide. Due to that MHE® treated host
material can easily be compared with the same untreated host material
at decomposition in mission to study released gas and residues to
as certain if there is a patent infringement.
Furthermore, all trade with chemicals has to be thoroughly examined by customs to comply with international trade commitments and laws. That makes it not too difficult to get adequate information from any national chemical inspectorate regarding permission to use requested chemicals in case of suspected patent infringement. It is just to put focus on the consumption of carboxylic acids in combination with tetra-alkali-pyrophosphate. - COMMERCIAL PHASE: In July 2011 some national MHE®
Patents strongly limited to the geographical territory of Europe were
sold to the Swedish listed company Deflamo AB. Deflamo AB is limited
to produce, market and sell MHE® products only within Europe and
only under the brand name Apyrum®. Deflamo AB is under no circumstances
allowed to grant licenses to a third party operating outside Europe.
Until today 14 different host material compositions have successfully been treated with MHE®.
There are short videos on Internet www.youtube.com/trulstechgroup that show the performance of MHE® treated host materials attacked by fire.
Following host materials have been successfully treated with MHE® products in the laboratory and by the potential customers that have supplied the host materials,
- Cellulose Wool aimed for construction businesses.
- Kraft paper aimed for the furniture industry.
- Canvas aimed for the industrial production of tent.
- Viscose aimed for the textile industry.
- Cotton aimed for commercially used curtains etc.
- Polyester fibre aimed for acoustic applications.
- PVC-film aimed for construction businesses.
- PVC-emulsion aimed for commercial product applications.
- PU-foam aimed for construction businesses.
- EPDM-rubber aimed for construction business for example rubber matting.
A market breakthrough took place in Europe Q4/2012 and concerned PVC-film, Kraft paper and Canvas.
PVC-film treated with Apyrum® (MHE®) was certified by an accredited test institute to meet the European fire safety standard - the French M1 with a LOI (Limited Oxidation Index) > 28.
Other Apyrum® (MHE®) treated material product applications have been certified by accredited test institutes to meet the European fire safety standards for respective materials such as EPDM rubber, Kraft-paper (furniture material), Textiles (canvas, viscose, cotton). - VALUE OF FURTHER OPPORTUNITIES: As mentioned above,
there are several potential MHE® patent applications, each one
of which meet the demands on "news value" and "technical height".
For example, existing patents don't contain information about the
necessary purity and quality of the raw materials to meet the requested
fire safety standard functionality. Neither, it tells anything about
the step-by-step chemical processing in combination with respectively
pH-data or anything about the individual mixture in terms of raw material
concentrations and quantity to achieve the correct mixture for each
host material treatment.
CONTRACT MANUFACTURING
Contract manufacturing is initially recommended regarding MHE®.
The manufacturing expenses might differ depending on the relevant
processing industries location and the process equipment they use.
Contract manufacturers in Europe charge about 1,000 Euro per day shift
(8hrs). One day shift is charged for setting-up (4 hrs) and cleaning
(4 hrs) after finishing the chemical processing.
The more modern and the more automatically operated the relevant processing
equipment is, the more MHE® bulk quantities can be processed during
a day shift.
Contract manufacturers that offer 24 hrs processing, 5 days a week,
seem to be most cost-efficient.
There are contract manufacturers in Europe and Australia with the
necessary industrial experience to process MHE® products.
