Stone Protection

Stone Coat is a high-performance, long-lasting, single-component water-based impregnation for protection of absorbent mineral surfaces such as concrete, plaster, paving stone, screed and cementitious materials against the effects of pollution and damage from oil, grease, dirt and water.

Highly recommended for use on sandstone, plaster, concrete, fibre concrete or roof tiles, Nanolia’s Stone Guard is a “breathing” impregnation that protects practically all types of porous or absorbent mineral-based materials such as brick, tiles, concrete and paving against water, oil dust and dirt.

Nanolia Concrete Protect is a truly remarkable, easy to apply and environmentally-friendly building material based on innovative Nanolia silicate technology. It is one of the highest performance forms of liquid glass, known in Germany as “Kalium Wasser Glass”.

 


Though the word “nano“ has become somewhat of a buzzword in advertising, it is considered to be the key technology for the 21st century.
 

Chemical nanotechnology concerns itself with the investigation, manufacture and uses of structures which are below 100 nanometres. The aim is to identify new characteristics of objects measured on the nano scale, to understand these (and their causes) and to transfer this knowledge into technical developments and (new) applications.

Nanolia coatings are based on pure liquid glass, silicon dioxide, SIO2. Among their many qualities they are “superdurable” and “superphobic” – hard wearing substances that reject oil, water, red wine, oil, fruit juices and most acids in liquid form. Surfaces treated with Nanolia products are easily cleaned with water alone. They become highly durable with the potential to last for many years depending on how they are treated. Should Nanolia coatings shows signs of wear, they are very easy to re-condition. And this how they differ from other surface treatments …
Treating surfaces with Nanolia products gives a similar result to varnishing but without discolouration or the disadvantages of being hydrocarbon-based. Hydrocarbons = oil, which as we are made increasingly aware, is a massive polluter. Other surface treatments that might appear to give a similar result to Nanolia are silicone based which are not nearly so durable.
