ALEXIUM RECEIVES US SPECIAL FORCES ORDER FOR ADVANCED PROTECTIVE TEXTILES
__________________________________________________________
GREER S.C. 14th September 2010 - Alexium Inc. a subsidiary of Alexium
International Group Limited, ('Alexium') listed on the Australian (ASX:AJX)
and Frankfurt (AX:AJX) Stock Exchanges is pleased to announce an initial
order from the US Department of Defence for advanced protective textiles
treated with the company's patented Reactive Surface Treatment ('RST'). The
purchase order is for a supply of RST treated materials to be tested by US
Special Forces.
The RST process is being applied to textiles that up till now have not been
possible to treat by conventional textile technologies. The order follows
on from recent technical demonstrations and supply of samples by Alexium of
this material treated using RST. More extensive testing will be conducted
by US Special Forces over the next few months. 'This is the first time that
we have attempted to apply this new function to such a challenging
material' commented Alexium's CEO Steve Ribich. 'We have achieved what has
not been possible by conventional textile finishing treatments. This is
further evidence of the unique capabilities of our RST technology to alter
the surface properties of a broader range of materials to give valuable new
and enhanced functionalities'.
This new order is for a specialist application. Alexium believes that this
latest development will have significant commercial implications for the
broader textile industry.
