Truck-Lite has announced an exclusive partnership with NanoMech Industries, a world leader in nanotechnology innovation.

“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,” says 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.”

Through its long-term partnership with NanoMech, Truck-Lite plans to 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, the company says. 

 According to NanoMech, its nanomanufacturing processes takes advantage of the novel properties of nano-scale materials (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 nanomanufacturing 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. This innovation so dramatically outperforms conventional and nano-particle based technologies that nGlide-based products virtually render all others obsolete, the company says.

“Our solutions are made possible by a powerful mechanical systems lens through which we view both present needs and future opportunities,” says James M. 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.”
