With its core competency in polymeric- and nano-chemistry, Applied Sciences Technology (ASTEK) originates, develops and manufactures a broad spectrum of superior and innovative technologies fundamental to improving our environment by the use of sustainable and renewable resources.

By taking the four elements - carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen - separating and combining them in novel and innovative ways, ASTEK has developed many economic and efficient processes.

ASTEK know how and patented technology has enabled Team Nasamax to employ a state-of-the-art fire safety system called NBS™.

Derived from systems developed for the aviation industry, NBS™ renders the gases normally present within fuel tanks unignitable by creating a low oxygen, nitrogen-rich environment. By drawing normal atmospheric air through a patented gas separation membrane, NBS™ avoids the need for separate storage tanks for nitrogen on board the car, as well as the elimination of pressured vessels.

The use of NBS™ further reduces the chances of fuel-related incidents and we believe advances fire safety in motorsport significantly.

ASTEK is also committed to applying its ground-breaking technologies using its resources in an environmentally responsible fashion, taking positive steps to help make our world a better, cleaner, healthier and more energy-efficient place. ASTEK's patented technologies have the potential to benefit, directly and indirectly, everyone.
