Tesla NanoCoatings Inc Product Use • Applied like paint acts like plating – No special training required – Compatible with all conventional paint application equipment

• 2-coat system – replacing a 3-coat system – unequaled corrosion control, extended lifecycles, cost savings

Tesla NanoCoatings Inc Current Military Status • Approved for use by US Army Corps of Engineers for : – Army Installations, Steel infrastructure – Army Corp Civil Works, Steel Infrastructure

• US Army Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management funding new specification development for these coatings • US Army identified Teslan Carbon Nanocoating as “Technical Solution” • Department of Defense Technical Corrosion Collaboration researching carbon nanotube corrosion solutions for weapon systems and infrastructure • Several Successful projects completed and pending

Tesla NanoCoatings Inc

Confidential

Tesla NanoCoatings Inc Strong Intellectual Property • 11-patents exclusively licensed • 3-patents pending – Self-healing polymer compositions – Biological Biocide Additives for Polymer – Composition for corrosion prevention

“Not a technology looking for a problem”

Solutions and Variants • Initial product platform for Steel Infrastructure – Several variations • Sacrificial pigments • Topcoat • External Pipeline Coatings • Extensive list of Derivative products – Pipeline internal diameter corrosion – Drag reduction – Erosion resistant – microbiologically influenced corrosion – Marine anti-fouling / drag reducing – High temperature and pressure downhole coatings

Tesla NanoCoatings Inc Greener alternative • Reduce or eliminate – Spills/leaks – Heavy metals in coatings – Volatile Organic Compounds – Need for corrosion inhibitors and anti-friction additives – Landfill waste

Carbon Nanotubes • Strongest and stiffest material known • Chemical bonds stronger than bonds found in diamonds • Current-carrying capacity - 1,000x greater than copper • Tensile strength - 50x greater than steel

Function of Nanotubes • Carbon Nanotubes selfassemble into ropes • Quantum Nanowires form electron path • Reinforce / Stiffen / Toughen the coating

® Teslan

Basic Science • Cathodic potential is established thru electrochemical reaction • Acts like galvanizing or sacrificial plating • Coating is always the anode donating electrons
