Nano-Scale Surface Protection
01
Protection Engineered at the Smallest Scale
Selected sealants incorporate advanced nano-scale technology that forms an ultra-thin layer across microscopic surface irregularities. This creates a smoother, less receptive surface that helps resist water, dirt, oils and other contaminants.
02
Understanding the Surface
01
Microscopic Irregularities
Even surfaces that appear smooth contain microscopic peaks, valleys and pores where moisture, dirt and contaminants can accumulate.
02
Points of
Attachment
These irregularities provide anchoring points for deposits, making surfaces more difficult to clean and increasing exposure to moisture, staining and wear.
03
Surface
Vulnerability
Without protection, repeated contamination, cleaning and environmental exposure can gradually affect the appearance and condition of the underlying material.

How Nano-Scale Protection Works?

Untreated Surface
Microscopic peaks, pores and valleys remain exposed, allowing moisture and contaminants to penetrate or establish a stronger attachment.
Nano-Treated Surface
The nano-sealant forms a thin layer across microscopic surface irregularities, reducing available points of attachment and limiting penetration.
04
From Application to Protection
01
Application
The sealant is distributed evenly across the prepared surface.

02
Nano-Scale Coverage
The formulation spreads across the surface and into its microscopic irregularities.

03
Bonding
The coating bonds with the substrate and forms an ultra-thin, continuous layer.
04
Protection
The treated surface becomes less receptive to moisture, dirt, oils and other deposits.
05
Practical Surface Benefits
01
Water Resistance
Encourages water to bead and roll away, helping reduce moisture penetration and water-related staining.
02
Dirt Resistance
Reduces the ability of dust, grime and environmental deposits to adhere strongly to the surface.
03
Easier Cleaning
Helps contaminants release more readily, potentially reducing cleaning effort, frequency and reliance on intensive treatments.
04
Stain Resistance
Selected formulations help limit the penetration and attachment of oils, coloured liquids and staining substances.
05
Wear Resistance
The protective layer can improve resistance to light scratching, abrasion and everyday wear, depending on the surface and formulation.
06
Surface Preservation
Reduced exposure to moisture, contamination and repeated intensive cleaning can help maintain the underlying material for longer.

Protection Across Multiple Materials
01
Porous Surfaces:
brick, concrete, natural stone, render and timber
02
Non-Porous Surfaces:
glass, ceramics, metals, plastics and coated panels
03
Walls and Floors:
masonry walls, tiled areas, concrete floors and painted surfaces
04
Textiles and Fibres:
fabrics, upholstery, carpets, canopies and technical textiles
05
Outdoor Assets:
façades, monuments, garden structures and public infrastructure
06
Energy Infrastructure:
solar panels, wind turbines and exposed energy assets
07
Nano-Technology for Solar Panels
01
Cleaner
Panel Surfaces
The coating helps repel water, dust and environmental deposits, reducing the ability of contaminants to adhere to the panel surface.
02
Improved Light Interaction
The transparent nano-scale layer supports light transmission and refraction without forming a visibly heavy coating across the panel.
03
Proven
Performance
Treated panels generated 5.15% more energy on average, with gains of up to 5.62% in one study and up to 10% in a second. Results may vary by site.
08
Two Complementary Technologies
Selected sealants bring together two distinct but complementary functions within selected formulations.
Nano-Scale Surface Technology: creates the physical protective layer, covering microscopic irregularities and reducing the attachment of water, dirt and other contaminants.
