/* The Value Proposition */
== Agenda ==
* '''Introduce To introduce and explain the benefits of the patented green technology developed by Pratt & Whitney.'''
* '''To find out interest of the prospects in acquiring the technology on a licensed basis from Pratt & Whitney.'''
* We at Dolcera are partnering with Pratt & whitney to out-license their green technology to replace Ni-Cd coatings used for finishing purposes.
* Cutting edge R&D with over a 1000 patents.
* Has always been at the forefront of technologies for turbine, rocket, reciprocating engines, power systems, etc.
* It is very difficult to ensure complete protection of steel from corrosive environment at temperatures as high as 900°F.
* Traditionally used Ni-Cd Coatings involve use of Hexavalent chromium, cadmium and cyanides which are very toxic. Thus, making it difficult to ensure Safety safety of the work environment. === Cadmium qualms ===
== Cadmium Qualms ==

* Cadmium is a toxin for both animals and plants.
* Cadmium is subject to the spontaneous growth of Cadmium whiskers. Cadmium whiskers (like tin whiskers) grow spontaneously and are capable of causing electrical failures ranging from parametric deviations to sustained plasma arcing that can result in catastrophic short circuits.[http://www.finishing.com/100/89.shtml Source]
<BR>
<BR>
* An environment-friendly alternative to Ni-Cd coatings.
* Eliminates materials of concern from the product such as cadmium, hexavalent chromium and cyanides from the plating process.
* Offers equivalent or superior protection to the baseline Ni-Cd coatings.
== The Unique Process ==

== The Value Proposition ==
* Not just an idea but a patented & experimentally proven technology. Pratt&Whitney also has a working prototype of the technology.
* Not very capital intensive, as it utilizes already established processes used for electroplating.
* A green technology eliminating the use of hazardous cadmium in the coating process.

[[ImageMedia:Automotive parts cadmiumOriginal patent document.jpgpdf|thumb|right|350px|Parts used in Automotive IndustryClick here to download the original patent document]]There is an impending EU restriction on lead, cadmuim, hexavalent chrome, and mercury in vehicles.This EU restriction affects vehicles globally since car manufacturers will have to change all components if some fall under this guideline. All major auto manufacturers are now coming up with guidelines and specifications for this transition.
