Naturally Advanced Technologies and Carhartt Enter Into Development Agreement For CRAiLAR Flax Fiber
(OTCBB: NADVF.ob - News) (TSXV: NAT) today announced that it has entered into a short term CRAiLAR® Flax fiber development agreement with Carhartt beginning in September 2011 to support evaluation of processing CRAiLAR Flax fiber in premium grade work wear.

"Carhartt aligns perfectly with our current portfolio and we are excited to add them to our growing mix of partner brands," saidKen Barker, CEO of NAT. "Our testing to-date has demonstrated significant qualities that will be beneficial to the work wear market, including increased tensile strength, reduced shrinkage and high dye uptake that can reduce chemical usage. Perhaps most important is CRAiLAR's ability to wick moisture, which provides Carhartt with a performance advantage by ensuring consumers stay cooler in hot summer months. We look forward to demonstrating this during our development period with Carhartt."

Since March, NAT has signed development or purchasing agreements with HanesBrands, Georgia-Pacific, Levi Strauss & Company, Cintas Corporation, Ashland Inc., Westex, and Brilliant Global Knitwear.
