CSL Materials LLC Announces Patent for Selective Glass Batching Issued September 1, 2007

Alfred, New York - CSL Materials LLC announced today that patent number 7,260,960 was issued on August 28, 2007 by the US Patent Office for Dr. William M. Carty's selective glass batching. CSL Materials has an exclusive agreement with the Alfred University to license and commercialize the technology. Dr. Carty is a professor at the Inamori School of Engineering at Alfred University and the President of CSL Materials.

"Selective glass batching is the next step to producing higher quality glass at lower energy costs," said Dr. Christopher W. Sinton, CSL's CEO. Initial testing of the process indicates that the melting time can be reduced by up to 80% compared to traditional methods.

In addition to the US patent, CSL Materials has patents for the technology pending in Japan, Korea, Australia, Canada, and the European Union.
