MISSION READY ANNOUNCES MOU TO ACQUIRE EXCLUSIVE LICENSING FOR PROPRIETARY HEAVY METAL DECONTAMINATION TECHNOLOGY
Mission Ready Services Inc. has signed a memorandum of understanding to acquire an exclusive licensing agreement with KT Chemicals Inc. for its proprietary heavy metal decontamination technology as a revolutionary new complement to the broad range of solutions provided by the company's cleaning and repair division, 10-20 Services Inc. (dba Protect The Force or PTF).
KT Chemicals' Technology, described as a Strippable Coating, provides a cost efficient, highly effective, and environmentally friendly solution to the otherwise labor-intensive, and often cost prohibitive, challenge of removing heavy metals from all types of personal protective equipment ("PPE").
The Technology -- originally developed by KT Chemicals in cooperation with the US Government for the remediation of contaminated sites -- was identified by Francisco Martinez, Chief Technology Officer of Protect The Force, in response to an industry request for the decontamination of certain PPE at escalating volumes as capacities and process efficiencies allow.
Mr. Martinez states, "In addition to providing the highest levels of cleaning and repair services to our customers, we are now able to provide a state-of-the-art, environmentally safe technology to decontaminate individual equipment containing heavy metals. Our strategic relationship with KT Chemicals is exclusive and allows for domestic and global opportunities not only on individual equipment but also in contaminated sites."
Mr. Karl Taft, KT Chemicals President, stated, "We are honored to have this opportunity to partner with Protect The Force and play a role helping to protect those responsible for protecting us. We look forward to working with the PTF team in expanding the use and applications of our proprietary and patented technology to decontaminate heavy metals."
