[{"type":"text","content":"Bourque Industries, Inc. (BORK) Announced Conclusion of Initial Independent Lab Testing of Kryron with Positive Results\n \nBourque Industries announced today that it had concluded initial testing of its Kryron material through two Independent Laboratories. Kryron was tested by Alfred University and under the direction of Bourque's independent consultant, Robert Rieger, who then rendered a report based on the lab findings.\n \nThis testing did not focus on the ballistics characteristics of Kryron, but rather on other properties of the material that management believes could have commercial application. \n \nMr. Rieger reported that thermal conductivity for Kryron was so high that it could not be measured on the Alfred University equipment, concluding that ?this is an extremely positive finding which might permit Kryron to be a superior thermal management (including heat sink) material?.\n \nMr. Rieger received an MBA from Syracuse University, and MS CERE and BCERE Ceramic Engineering degrees from Georgia Institute of Technology. During Mr. Rieger?s career he served in various positions with M-Cubed Technologies, Inc., University of Arizona, Eller College of Management, Fisher Scientific International, Ferro Corporation and others.\n \nMore testing is planned to explore further the characteristics of Kryron for application as a potential heat sink material, and also to determine and document its potential benefits in ballistic armor applications and in other markets and applications.\n \nSet forth below are two portions of Mr. Rieger?s report (The full Report is not being released as it contains confidential proprietary information):\n \n \n \nChemical and Physical Analysis of Kryron produced by Bourque Industries\n \nRobert Rieger, Consultant\nSeptember 2, 2013\n \n \n?Executive Summary\n \n \nTwo samples of Kryron, purported to be standard formula and manufacture, were tested for chemical and physical properties. Because samples of ballistic material and completed plates were not available no ballistic testing was performed.\n \nTesting was performed under the auspices of the NanoMaterials Innovation Center at Alfred University and Northwestern University laboratories.\n \nThese tests included x-ray diffraction, energy-...
