The C2 Model
C2 uses applied engineering and patent pending techniques that moves its MSIT thin-films for coker heaters to the refinery site. The Company’s research, development and product commercialization is based upon patent rights available to C2 under an exclusive license from C3 International, LLC. The Company’s business model is to generate revenue by applying its engineered surface treatment at the refinery site, utilizing a service provider of sufficient size and geographical diversity to engage in the mass application of products and technologies worldwide. The Company’s mission is to enter into direct sales arrangements to bring its technology and products to oil refineries at the refinery sites. C2 holds an exclusive license from its parent company, C3 International, LLC, pertaining to in situ treatment of coker heaters worldwide. Although coatings are sometimes used in other industries to improve performance and extend lifetime of some equipment, these coatings usually can not be used in the petrochemical industry. These conventional coatings rarely penetrate into the substrate surface, resulting in spalling or. This results in them wearing or flaking off of the coating. This problem is particularly severe in the petrochemical industry, where erosion and thermal expansion issues render these coatings ineffective. The process licensed to the Company from C3 adheres to the surface at the molecular level, bonding to and becoming a part of the surface to which it is applied. This results in enhanced performance and increased lifetime. Moreover, the Company’s technology platform, which currently consists of over seventy eight elements, in various combinations may be customized for the particular performance characteristics desired by the end-user, imparting new properties to the substrates of steel, metal alloys and other inorganic materials to which it is applied. The Company is currently optimizing applications for its technologies to coker heaters. C2’s business model is to engage in direct sales to refineries that have coker components. |
