Nano-coatings, based on silicon dioxide
for stones (mineral surfaces)
These products are optimised for absorbent surfaces because of their formulation.
They can therefore be used as an invisible, water- and contamination-resistant, UV-stable coating of porous substrate surfaces, regardless of whether the surface is a natural stone such as sandstone, concrete, terracotta, clay brick or stone panelling.
Floor or wall coatings, building facades, functional terracotta or roof tiles are all in the scope of application for this product. Since nano-coatings only apply an ultra-thin coating on the inside of the pores, the substrates remain breathable after the coating - the perfect structural protection. The majority of the contamination is washed away by the rain.
Examples of use:
- Every type of porous surface with a mineral-based origin
- Concrete
- Lime stone
- Sandstone
- Concrete blocks
- Porous granite / marble
- Roof tiles / clay
- Terracotta
Product characteristics:
- Strong hydrophobic + oleophobics
- Strong non-stick properties
- Excellent easy-clean effect regarding deposits of air pollution
Advantages:
- No influence on the appearance of the substrate (Layer thickness: 100-150 nm)
- Excellent Hydro and Oleophobic properties
- Solvent-free and odourless
- Hardening at room temperature. No additional energy or UV light required.
- Pressure wash-resistant (50 - 60 bar)
- Excellent efficiency with low quantity consumption
- No colour infiltration to coated substrates.
- High temperature-resistance - UV-stable
- Absolute frost-resistance
Other positive Effects, such as e.g.
- the UV-stability enables a lifetime performance of the coated surface – assuming it is not damaged by abrasion
Many competitive products like silicon oils or fluorocarbon technologies are slowly destroyed by sunlight - (Abrasion resistance) – negligible on mineral surfaces due to the low abrasion resistance of the substrate
- The product is resistant to almost all standard household and industrial cleaners (with the exception of concentrated alkaline solution)
Many competitive products do not have this property and must be reapplied - Industrial: Application using standard HVLP systems
- Manual: Application by wetting the surface (spraying or dipping)
Advantages easy-clean nano-coatings, based on silicon dioxide coatings in comparison with competitive products
Permanence and longevity:

Application
Simple do-it-yourself application makes it suitable for end-customers as well:
Graffiti-resistance
Special high-quality SiO2-coatings are excellent graffiti protection.Nano-anti-graffiti coatings are graffiti-resistant coating formulas for application on porous silica-based substrates, such as sandstone, concrete, Terracotta and clay.

Nano-Care Deutschland AG distances herself from the colloquial term "nano-sealant" for glass, ceramic, textiles, stones and other surfaces. It was built by the market in the last 10 years and it is not correct from the technical point of view. Our nano-coatings are not sealing the surface – they protect it without impeding the breathability of the substrate.
