Nanotechnology surface treatments from Nanotec
Windows that virtually clean themselves and bricks and pavers that repel dirt are now possible, with a new high-tech surface treatment that provides an invisible shield on hard surfaces like concrete, stone, glass and ceramic, repelling water, dirt and other contaminants like mould and algae. That means less need for cleaning, which dramatically reduces water use, along with the need for chemical cleaning products.
Nanotec treatments are created using nanotechnology, a revolutionary scientific process that applied nanoscopic-sized particles to transform the surface of a material. The result is a self-cleaning effect on the surface, where dirt and water cannot get a grip on the surface and simply roll off.
Nanotec surface treatments are long lasting and cannot be removed by normal cleaning.
The range of domestic and commercial applications includes:
- glass windows, skylights
- brick, concrete facades or natural stone paved areas
- bathroom surfaces, including shower screens and ceramic wall tiles
Benefits of Nanotec treatments:
- environmentally friendly, non-toxic and will reduce water use and the need for chemical cleaning products and reduce actual cleaning time
- UV and weather resistant
- invisible, no change to colour or optical clarity
According to Nanotec, its surface treatments are set to revolutionise the performance of everyday surfaces and Australia is the perfect market for its nanotechnology products due to the ongoing water restrictions and the strong UV radiation.
