NASA developed cryogenics in the
1960's to protect every vessel sent into outer space, from John
Glenn's Mercury to the space shuttle.
Until a few years ago, cryogenic
processing and the computer power required to maintain precise
time/temperature profiles were secret, and prohibitively
expensive.
Today, with the low cost of computing,
the TECHNOLOGY EXCHANGE GRANT we received from NASA in 1997, and
extensive testing, CRYOFORCE and authorized CRYOFORCE
licensees can treat your goods for as little as $2.10 per pound!
Cryogenic
processing involves using dry nitrogen gas to cool products down
to below -300°F and controlling the warm-up back to room temperature.
Then, some products are triple-tempered for further enhancement.
The Cryoforce process is slow, as slow as a quarter degree drop
per minute. It is also a long process, taking as long as 48-72
hours. This environmentally benign process literally transforms
materials at the molecular level, yet is so gentle that even light
bulbs can be treated.
