STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (Business Wire EON) February 19, 2008 -- Hayes was instrumental in developing the NanoHorizons' first generation of silver antimicrobial additives for textiles that led to important partnerships with Indo Poly LTD., Faytex Inc., and G.J. Littlewood. Now under the SmartSilver(TM) brand, these additives are used to impart antimicrobial and antifungal properties to yarns and fabrics and also to finishes, paints, foams and laminates. These versatile products have led to important new partnerships with Piedmont Chemical, Eversharp and others.

Hayes steps up from his role as Vice President Operations and replaces Robert Burlinson, founding CEO of NanoHorizons, who remains on the Board of Directors. Hayes has a doctorate degree in Engineering Science from Penn State University where he also completed his undergraduate degree in life sciences.
