Protective Systems, Inc. Announces EPA Classification and Approval of Hydro-Tain
marine environmental remediation market
15, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Medina International Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:
MIHI) announced today
that its subsidiary, WinTec Protective Systems, Inc. has, through EPA
classification, received approval for the use of its non-toxic, patent pending
Hydro-Tain oil adsorption product in US waterways.
Hydro-Tain is a coagulant that functions by adsorbing virtually any
hydrocarbon based liquid. When Hydro-Tain comes in contact with any liquid
hydrocarbon it rapidly (within seconds or minutes) adsorbs the hydrocarbon and
changes it to a hardened floating material. The material is easily retrieved or
skimmed off the water surface, using booms, nets, or vacuum equipment; it can
even be corralled into place by water hoses.
A video demonstrating the use of Hydro-Tain is available at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNXLrqL7TQQ
Mr. Robert Doherty, CEO, WinTec Protective Systems, Inc. stated, “Oil spills
are among the most devastating of environmental accidents. High-profile spills,
like that of the Exxon Valdez, and the BP disaster in the Gulf of Mexico make
the need for Hydro-Tain obvious. The EPA classification and subsequent approval
for use in waterways opens up an entirely new market segment for Hydro-Tain.”
In its natural state (without hydrocarbon contact), Hydro-Tain has a toxicity
level of zero. Once Hydro-Tain has been in contact with hydrocarbons and has
adsorbed to its ultimate capacity, the toxicity level is no greater than that of
the hydrocarbon.
Mr. Rao Mankal, CFO commented, “EPA classification gives our product the
credibility and third-party verification necessary to effectively market it
worldwide. Its status as a patent pending product gives us the protection we
need in the marketplace. Hydro-Tain is the future of environmental oil-spill
recovery.”
