HNT are naturally formed in the Earth over millions of years and are ultra-tiny hollow tubes with diameters typically smaller than 100 nanometers (100 billionths of a meter), with lengths typically ranging from about 500 nanometers to over 1.2 microns (millionths of a meter).
They can be filled with, for example, active ingredients including many that are used for cosmetics, household and personal care products, pesticides, pest repellents, pharmaceuticals and other agents that could benefit from extended release, according to NaturalNano.
"This extension gives NaturalNano the opportunity to continue efforts to grow our presence in the international cosmetics market,” commented NaturalNano's CEO, James Wemett.
“Fiabila's announced commitment to launch its nail polish products with our HNTs into Europe represents an important part of our strategy."
