"Establishing a commercial product with Fiabila in the personal products industry is a tremendous boost for our company allowing us to leverage the strengths of our naturally occurring, environmentally friendly HNT technology," said James Wemett, CEO of NaturalNano. "This New agreement, which includes granting Fiabila a world-wide exclusive license to our processes for nail polish and nail-care products, serves as further validation of both our technology and of our business model. It represents a long-term, sustained revenue opportunity using our patented technology for controlled release from our HNT giving their products durability and overall performance."

Wemett continued: "One of our 2009 goals is to move our joint development partners into licensing deals and commercial orders. Our company has over 25 patents issued and pending. With Fiabila as our newest strategic commercial partner, we expect to see significant and widespread adoption, acting on our commitment to develop the next generation of HNT-enhanced consumer products."

Under the terms of the agreement, NaturalNano will supply both filled and unfilled HNTs for incorporation in Fiabila's nail products.
