How does our technology work? New materials are changing the way business processes operate. Take for example, an ambulance. Every two weeks, for hygiene reasons, each ambulance must be stripped of all facilities and clinically cleaned. Imagine if all internal and external surfaces were self-cleaning. What if the engine could also be treated to reduce emissions, oil and fuel usage? Just one ambulance could both reduce hygiene maintenance and...

One application of Nanolia Surface Protect Prep brought the car back to its original colour, while an application of Nanolia Surface Protect System Coat now preserves its pristine appearance against further ravages of the elements. Nanolia Surface Protect System is a complete product range for cleaning, regeneration and care of painted surfaces, metals, glass fibre and plastics. COAT is a long-lasting solvent-based fine polish with a special...

“In answer to your question about coatings using TiO2 (Titanium Dioxide) In fact TiO2 (Titanium Dioxide) works. And when combined with silver it works really well. However, it is still the problem that Ti02 coatings are not long lasting. Our scientists have discussed a few new ideas and raw material information but so far (from the theoretical side) there are as yet no new ideas to avoid this problem. I understand that some companies...

Nanocoatings specialist Nanolia has a number of products to deal with the problem including some very powerful yet environmentally-friendly anti-graffiti coatings and removers. However, to deal with the overarching problem they offer some very tough water-based impregnations that can be applied by brush, spray or roller to makes the roofs and walls waterproof, stain resistant and very easy to clean. Nanolia Concrete Protect is a truly...

Superhydrophobicity is a property of a coating or material that requires the following conditions: 1) A water contact angle greater than 150 degrees 2) For a water droplet at rest on the coating or material surface, the angle of tilt required for the droplet to go into motion must be low (< a few degrees) 3) The surface of the coating or material must exhibit a low level of contact angle hysteresis* (< a few degrees) *Contact angle hysteresis...

The answer is that each has an important but different role to fulfill to give wood the very best possible protection. Wood Fresh is an essential first step for restoring the natural colour and texture of grey or faded/weather-bleached surfaces – without the usual rubbing down with glasspaper or sandpaper. It is a highly effective, labour-saving cleaner and refresher for all kinds of timber. It is particularly recommended for use on laminated...

By applying the Nanolia AG Removal Gel to paint on a rough tarmac surface then hosing down with water it was easy to remove spray paint. Unbelievable, it was so easy!! A couple of brush strokes, quick rinse off with water – job done! PS – The gel also works on red brick.

Wooden garden furniture and structures such as pergolas look great – until they go grey or lose their colour due to weathering. Once the colour has gone, there seems to be no alternative other than to apply a darker varnish or stain. Until now that is, with the introduction of Nanolia WoodFresh, a highly effective water-based cleaning and “refreshing” product for all kinds of timber. It is ideal for restoring grey or...

Especially recommended for use on sandstone, plaster, concrete, fibre concrete or roof tiling, Nanolia Stone Guard is a “breathing” impregnation with a protection against soiling/marking for practically all types of porous or absorbent mineral-based materials. But so is Nanolia Concrete Protect. So what is the difference? While both of these products are “breathing” impregnations that protect against soiling/marking for...

Water Repellent – repel water due to hydrophobic “skin” effect. Our coatings and impregnations have a “high contact angle” which means that droplets of water roll very easily over the surface, taking contaminants with them. The higher the contact angle, the lower the surface area of the droplet in contact with the treated surface, rather like the difference between a ball bearing and a bean bag on a sheet of glass. Scrupulously...
