Apart from the fact that our coatings and impregnations are bio-degradable, environmentally friendly, non-allergenic, easy to clean, easy to apply, do not smell bad, do not put a room out of action for a long time while drying, a little goes a very long way and overall they help reduce the carbon footprint, we at Nanolia would be very interested to hear our readers’ views on this important matter.

For starters:

• 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.
• Scrupulously Clean Surfaces
• At the microscopic level, treated surfaces are so smooth that they are easily cleaned – usually with just water
• Surface is so smooth that dirt and other particles find it difficult to stick depriving bacteria of food. Hence anti-microbial properties without the inclusion of biocides.
• Ultra-thin coating
• A little goes a very, very long way!
• Coatings follow the contours of a surface, meaning that they will not make non-slip surfaces slippery.
• Coatings are extremely flexible, will not crack on flexible surfaces.
• Breathing characteristic: Allow moisture – water as vapour – to pass through due to tiny gaps between nano-particles.
• Will not (usually) change the appearance of a surface. (We have some products such as Nanolia Protect that are designed to enhance surface gloss and deepen colour.)
• Environmentally friendly
• Non toxic, neither carcinogenic nor mutagenic
• Easy to apply with short drying times and no noxious fumes
• Long working life and then easily re-applied
• Water Repellent – repel water due to hydrophobic “skin” effect.
