State College, PA | April 26, 2005

NanoHorizonsTM, Inc. and ARC Outdoors/ArcticShield® today announce the launch of a joint technology development program aimed at bringing nanotechnology innovations to textile markets.

ARC Outdoors/ArcticShield® is widely known for its innovative, technologically advanced outdoor apparel, sold under the ArcticShield® and X ScentTM brands. NanoHorizons, one of North America’s premier nanotechnology innovators, creates nanotechnology solutions for scientific and consumer applications ranging from pharmaceutical research to retail clothing. Together the companies will jointly develop a range of nanotechnology products and applications for textiles.

The pairing of ARC’s outdoor apparel market experience and NanoHorizons’ nanotechnology expertise will yield significant changes in textile markets. The companies anticipate these changes to have significant impact in a broad spectrum of textile applications.

“Our product development team is excited about the possibilities this partnership creates,” said Robert Parker, ARC’s Vice President of Sales. “NanoHorizons has proven its capabilities with numerous patents and real-world nanotechnology applications. ARC’s customers have come to expect innovative, technology-differentiated products from us – and we see our nanotechnology development program with NanoHorizons as a perfect strategic fit.”

“ARC is ahead of its time when it comes to exploring new concepts and technologies for consumer markets,” said Dennis I. Schneider, NanoHorizons Director of Marketing and Sales. “It’s an honor to work with a company that understands how nanotechnology can change the clothing and apparel landscape.”

The companies plan to announce new technologies and products resulting from their partnership over the next few months.
