Nanotechnology: The key to durable and effective surface protection

Our innovative NP® Liquid Glass technology is at the forefront of a new era of surface protection, combining sustainability with multifunctional performance. This coating offers comprehensive protection for a wide range of materials – from industrial facilities and commercial buildings to public institutions, residential buildings, and historical monuments.

Versatility in application: Our technology is applicable to a broad range of surfaces, including metals, plastics, glass, ceramics, and textiles, making it a universal solution for almost any surface.

Enhanced hygiene and cleanliness: The coating effectively combats dirt, microorganisms, and moisture, thereby contributing to increased hygiene. It inhibits the growth of bacteria, mould, and algae, ensuring a permanently clean surface.

UV and weather resistance: Designed to withstand extreme conditions, our coating protects against harmful UV rays and endures extreme weather conditions, making it ideal for outdoor applications.

Energy efficiency and thermal protection: In addition to protecting against environmental influences, our coating contributes to energy efficiency by reducing heat loss or reflecting heat in certain cases.

Cost efficiency: The durability and reduced maintenance requirements of our coating lead to significant cost savings over time, making it an economically advantageous choice for all types of applications.

Aesthetic preservation: Particularly important for historic buildings and monuments, our coating helps preserve the original appearance of surfaces without impairing their aesthetics.

Environmental friendliness: Our technology minimises the use of harsh chemicals and cleaning agents, making a positive contribution to environmental protection.

In today’s competitive industrial landscape, the use of our advanced surface coating is essential. It combines production efficiency with sustainability and significantly contributes to long-term success and environmental responsibility.

Machinery

The NP® Liquid Glass technology gives electrical devices and construction machinery repellent properties against dirt, corrosion, rust and other influences, thus ensuring a longer service life and efficiency.

Energy/Electronics

The NP® Liquid Glass technology increases the long-term functionality of systems for generating energy such as electronic conductors or solar systems, as they are no longer affected by adhering substances such as rust, algae or bird droppings.

Construction industry

Building materials such as stone, ceramics, wood, metal or plastic are functionalised by the NP® Liquid Glass technology so that moisture, moss and algae, as well as graffiti, no longer adhere to the substrates. This also reduces cleaning effort and the use of chemicals.

Architecture/Monuments

Cultural monuments and historical buildings are preserved longer with the NP® protection because they are efficiently protected against weathering, graffiti, algae and other harmful influences. The original appearance is not affected.

Revolutionary applicability on damp substrates

A standout feature of our NP® Liquid Glass technology is its revolutionary ability to be effectively applied on still-damp substrates. This advantage allows for flexible and time-efficient application, especially under conditions requiring rapid action or where traditional coatings would fail. This property significantly expands the range of applications and offers a solution to challenges that previously seemed insurmountable.

  • Reduced cleaning effort: The surface coating minimises the need for regular cleaning, effectively repelling dirt and other deposits. This leads to a significant reduction in maintenance efforts.
  • Lower disposal costs: As cleaning can be performed without the use of chemicals, the associated disposal costs are also reduced. This is both economically and ecologically beneficial.
  • Preservation of reflective properties: A key advantage is that the coating does not impair the reflective properties of the tunnel walls. This is crucial for traffic safety, as good visibility within the tunnel is essential for the safety of road users.

„The nanopool stone protection is an added guarantee I can offer to my clients regarding the longevity of my stoneware clay sculptures. Customers want to be sure it resists to frost, and think maybe the patina will change, maybe it will get dirty or covered with moss … My experience over 10 years time is that the nanopool treatment did make a positive difference on the sculptures. It is also very important for me that the product I use is ecologically responsible. It takes time and work to make a sculpture that will last. I think treating my sculptures with the nanopool protection is an added value to my work.“

Maarten Stuer, Artist (France)

“Using the alternating freeze-thaw test, it was shown that the product still works after 100 test cycles (…) [and] that the protective treatment does not reduce water vapor diffusion.”

Dr. J. T., graduate mineralologist and building surveyor (Germany)

“Due to numerous smears (graffiti) and dirt on buildings, underpasses, switch boxes and much more, the company Nanopool (…) was employed for pre-cleaning and finishing. The smudges and dirt can be removed very easily now and the protective coating remains on the surface. The use of Nanopool finishing products on absorbent (stone/concrete, etc.) and non-absorbent surfaces (glass/metal, etc.) has greatly reduced the amount of maintenance and refurbishment on these objects.”

Building protection

Whether it’s newly built houses or monument listed buildings, whether concrete, sandstone, wood, glass or metal: The long-lasting, ultra-thin NP® Liquid Glass technology protects against negative influences from weathering, car exhaust fumes, road salt, growth and dirt without changing the look, feel or the diffusion-openness of the building fabric.

Heritage conservation

Due to their age, cultural assets often need particularly gentle protection against damage caused by snow, UV radiation, general pollution, but also deliberate destruction such as graffiti. It is of central importance here that the nature of the building material must not be changed in terms of appearance or tactile perception. NP® has already been used on numerous valuable monuments worldwide with great success and customer satisfaction.

Tunnel coating

The inner walls of tunnels are exposed to a high level of pollution, especially from exhaust fumes. This layer of dirt greatly reduces the reflectivity of the tunnel walls, which represents a safety deficit. At the same time, cleaning the inside of tunnels with chemical agents means a lot of work, closure times and costs for hazardous waste disposal. All of this can be reduced by protecting the walls with NP®, since dirt cannot adhere permanently to the coating, making cleaning easier, faster and more environmentally friendly.

Anti-graffiti

Unwanted graffiti scrawls on any surface mean a lot of work, expense and hassle. Whether on private houses, public buildings, underpasses, monuments, but also trains, park benches, etc. – the ultra-thin NP® Liquid Glass technology provides materials of all kinds with repellent properties, so that graffiti or permanent markers can be easily removed without a trace.

Anti-algae & -moss

Where there is moisture, moss and algae quickly settle. And they often leave long-term discolouration, especially on absorbent surfaces such as sandstone. The intelligent NP® Liquid Glass technology prevents adhesion and thus protects objects of all kinds – not just fountains and monuments, but also, for example, roof tiles, photovoltaic systems and ship hulls.

Anti-rust

In many areas, rust has safety-threatening consequences, but at least it has a negative impact on the longevity and efficiency of objects. Electronic conductors, railway tracks, connectors or load-bearing parts of buildings must be efficiently protected against rust. With the NP® Liquid Glass technology, this is achieved in an environmentally friendly, long-lasting way without optical changes to the surfaces.
