3. Introduction
U.S. Nanotechnology Companies
INVENTOR AND MAJORITY OWNER
• The Inventor is a renowned colloidal chemist and is a graduate of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), with a Masters of Science in
Mechanical Engineering, and 3 PhD’s; a PhD in Organic Chemistry, a PhD in
Colloidal Chemistry, and a PhD in Chemical Engineering from 1976 to 1982.
PRODUCTS
• The Inventor has designed and developed safe, eco- friendly, plant-based Nano
(cellular sized) Solutions. His manufacturing process is based on the science of
colloidal chemistry which produces a Nano scale colloidal micelle, the workhorse
behind the products’ effectiveness as cleaning and degreasing agents.
• The Inventor’s 3000 patented additives are integrated into hundreds of products
from cleaners, bioremediation products, floor sealers and paints to cosmetics.

4. The Nanotechnology Solution
The Engineered Micelle
The Palm Tree Weevil Product is safe
for Humans and the Environment.
Food grade particles made from soy,
corn, grain, potatoes, plants and trees
are processed to form a particle called
a micelle.
The PTWK is made largely from
natural oils that are miniaturized to 1
to 4 nanometers in size; 1 nanometer
to 1 meter is like a marble to the
Planet Earth.
Only one harmless chemical
compound is used, which is Sodium
Lauryl Sulfate. This is used in
toothpaste (Crest, Colgate, Arm &
Hammer) and in detergents (Tide).
The PTWK’s ingredients are exempt
from U.S. Department of
Environmental Protection regulations.

5. Growth Cycle of the Red Palm Weevil
1) Laying Eggs: An average
of 200 eggs can be laid by
one weevil, and up to 300
eggs has been recorded.
2) Hatching: Eggs hatch in
3 days, and larvae grow up
to 35mm in length. They
feed for 1 month.
3) Weevils: Larvae builds
a pupal case of fiber, and
metamorphose into a
weevil. The total life cycle
is 7 to 10 weeks.

6. The Red Palm
Weevil
Flying Range:
The Palm Tree
Weevil was
recorded by
Saudi Arabian
and University of
California
scientists as
flying up to 50
km in 24 hours.

8. Using the Nanotechnology
Palm Tree Weevil Killer
Mixing of the Palm Tree Weevil product;
no protective clothing needed
Easy application of the product; Either
Root Treatment or Injections can be
used.

11. Date Production
Enhancement
The Date Palm Tree
produced approximately 10
bundles of Khlas dates
weighing 60 kilos each.
At BD 2.00 per kilo, this tree
produced BD 1200 of dates.
The dates were tested for
pesticides at 10 parts per 1
billion; the test was
successful at 0 parts per
billion.
Bahrain can now develop an
Export Market for Organic
Dates.

12. Dissection of Tree
The palm tree was cut through the
infected area to confirm elimination
of the weevils
The front of the infected area was cut
away; there were no holes, larvae, or
weevils

13. Dissection of Tree
The area cut from the tree front was
examined; there were no holes or weevils
The tree trunk was cut in half and
examined; there were no holes or weevils

14. The Palm Tree Weevil Killer
works on all palm trees

Treatment. The treatment not only
killed the weevil, but also
regenerated the tree (as intended) ,
promoting growth.
