C-Bond Plans to Expand its IP And Nano-Products Portfolio to Support Growth of its Safety Solutions and Transportation Solutions Divisions

HOUSTON, March 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- C-Bond Systems, Inc. (the “Company” or “C-Bond”) (OTC: CBNT), a nanotechnology company that improves and strengthens glass, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a notice of allowance of U.S. Patent application 14/128,620 to support the underlying nanotechnology of its C-Bond product portfolio.

C-Bond is a patent protected, water-based, non-toxic, nanotechnology innovation designed to significantly increase the strength of glass, enhance glass flexibility and improve the performance of window film-to-glass products. The newly issued patent notice of allowance covers the chemistry and technology used in all of the Company’s flagship products including C-Bond I, C-Bond Ballistic Resistant System and C-Bond NanoShield™.

The patent application describes glass strengthening and the invention of silane-based chemistry to strengthen glass and interact with the surface micro-structures to treat micro-fissures and micro-cracks on the glass surface. The patent application also references the strengthening of laminates on glass, or the strengthening of the bonding and adhesion of a laminate for window film, on glass or a laminated piece of glass.
