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

Cleaning Supplies Arrangement

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.

Protection

The treated surface becomes less receptive to moisture, dirt, oils and other deposits.

05

Practical Surface Benefits

01

water.png

Water Resistance

Encourages water to bead and roll away, helping reduce moisture penetration and water-related staining.

02

dirt.png

Dirt Resistance

Reduces the ability of dust, grime and environmental deposits to adhere strongly to the surface.

03

cleaning.png

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.png

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.

Citrox®: Provides a separate nature-derived component researched for its antipathogenic and biofilm-disrupting activity.
