LuminOre Marine Launches New Website

The maritime leader in copper protective coatings, LuminOre Industrial & Marine announces the launch of its newly redesigned web site at Luminoremarine.com.

Ventura, CA (PRWEB) September 3, 2005 -- LuminOre Industrial & Marine Inc. proudly announces the launch of its newly redesigned web site at www.luminoremarine.com. The maritime leader in copper applications, LuminOre Marine has completely retooled its web site to deliver detailed research on the natural anti-foulant properties of copper and to illustrate the cost-effectiveness of its innovative spray-on technology that brings maritime copper applications into the 21st century.

Just as ancient mariners clad their ships' hulls with sheets of copper -- nature's best anti-foulant - LuminOre Industrial & Marine specializes in state-of-the-art, protective copper coatings for marine environments, and its cold-sprayable process places a layer of copper over any substrate, in virtually any configuration or design. The patented coating process provides a seamless cladding of copper which is non-galvanic and non-conducting and which is more environmentally friendly than other current marine applications.

"We're extremely excited about the all-new website and our enhanced presentation of the current scientific research - as well as the maritime history -- which showcases copper as a natural anti-foulant," says Terry Gould, president of LuminOre Industrial & Marine Coatings. "Copper has been used on the hulls of ships for hundreds of years, but unlike the days of old when copper sheeting was nailed onto ships' hulls, LuminOre copper can be directly applied as a retro-fit or during the molding process when building boats. And, what has excited so many ship owners and harbor masters is that LuminOre® copper can be applied to steel, fiberglass, aluminum and wood - as well as most any other material."

LuminOre Industrial and Marine Coatings was founded to develop and market novel industrial and marine coatings based on various metals, including copper, and a patented cold-spray application process -- licensed through LuminOre Inc. of Vista, Calif. -- bringing cutting-edge, molecular technology to the issue of marine fouling. One of the primary factors making LuminOre's patented process unique is that the copper metal is not held in suspension, but is instead a chemical reaction between the metal molecules and the polymer binder that actually creates a true composite metal.
