PROJECT SUMMARY
ECOSEAL LTD. is a provider of novel technology solutions for
protected cultivation..

THE NEED: Greenhouses provide good protection during the rainy
season; they are unsuitable to crops during the summer. Nets are
effective during the summer season but are inadequate in the
rainy season. These two methods are not easily interchangeable
and a genuine solution for an all year-round protection method is
thus offered.

SOLUTION: An innovative reversible spray technology for protected
cultivation that is effective all year round. The products
consist of sealing materials. Applying the sealing materials on
agriculture nets before the cold season transforms the nets into
a greenhouse-like structure. The material disintegrates after a
pre-determined period
(presently offered: 70, 140 and 210 days) to restore the net
house status in the hot season.

ADVANTAGES:
Sapphire, a self disintegrating coating for nets,
extends the growing period, creating a cost-effective, protected
cultivation environment that can be used all year round. It uses
existing net houses structures and requires for application
off-the-shelf spraying tools, thereby saving on capital
investment and infrastructure. Sapphire is transparent,
transmitting light, provides climate and water resistance, and
preserves
heat and temperature. It has a very reasonable application cost.

ETHICS: Sapphire line of products are environmentally friendly,
do not harm the protected crops, and dissolve after use without
any harmful waste or by-products. Sapphire further protects the
environment by eliminating the need to use plastic covering (such
as polyethylene sheets) in cold climates and reducing the use of
pesticides.

PROJECT STATUS
Ecoseal was founded in 2006.
* Ecoseal's technology was recognized by the government of Israel
as innovative and unique.
* Development of the first products has already been completed
and proven applicable in various sites in Israel.
* Objective physical tests for Sapphire showed good spectral
transmission and good heat conservation qualities. Agronomical
comparisons show Sapphire to be as effective in winter time as
polyethylene sheets.
* Patent registration: applications for Israeli patents and PCT.
* Meteor Nets Ltd, one of Israel's leading nets manufacturers has
invested in the Company.
* Sales in Israel have started.


COOPERATION REQUIRED
Strategic partners for worldwide market penetration.
Investment for continual development and field trials.
