“liquid glass” nanotechnology gives big savings in cost and environmental impact for cleaning industry – now available in Cyprus

Many companies, hotels, restaurants and medical establishments in Germany , the UK, China and Austria are enjoying big savings in cost and environmental impact in their routine cleaning programmes through application of an award winning “liquid glass” treatment based on nanotechnology.

Virtually every surface on their premises - sinks, baths, fabrics, tiles, floors, worktops, ovens and hobs and swimming pool rims are being treated so that future cleaning can be done without the use of solvent or detergent cleaners, taking less time and hence saving cost of both chemicals and labour. Treated surfaces are microbially protected for the life of the coating and can be cleaned many times before re-application is necessary.

Teated surfaces acquire new properties

Basically,Nanopool GmbH’s liquid glass can be applied to virtually any type of surface to give the surface new properties including easier to clean, chemical-free cleaning – just use water, biostatic or anti bacterial dependent on variant used, abrasion stain corrosion and moisture resistant, protected from spills of acids, fats and oils, heat tolerant -40 to 450C, UV Stable, free of nano particles while remaining invisible and undetectable.

All of the nanopool productsmeet EU criteria for certification as physiologically safe, food safe, compatible with human skin, free of nano-particles and environmentally friendly.

Infinite variety of applications

The product is made in Germany and is already going well in the UK, China, Austria and many other countries. It has been approved for use on furniture and soft fabrics by one of the UK's leading retailers; it is being trialled for "in house" janitorial use by leading retailers and the NHS, it is currently being used by McDonalds in Austria and the UK food agencies consider it as being of "enormous significance"; it’s being used in high volume on metals, fabrics and plastics, a toilet seat manufacturer has ordered sufficient of the anti-bacterial version to apply to 500,000 seats. In Germany it’s being applied to wine corks to prevent wines becoming “corked”. It is also important to note that the technology has been used in Kempinski hotels where tests showed that bathrooms which were treated with NP technology were "easy to clean"and bacteria free even after 8 months.

It takes a matters of seconds to treat a sink unit and yet the protection lasts for many months!

Good for the Environment - Golden Green Apple Award

No wonder then that in November 2007 Nanopool was awarded the golden Green Apple Award for the most innovative and environment-friendly products of the year. This internationally accepted environmental award is promoted by the British government. The award was presented by the internationally accepted environment researcher and author Prof. David Bellamy. NP have also won awards within Germany.

Specific products for specific needs

The company offers over 30 different products each tailored to specific needs. There are two grades of product – domestic and janitorial, where janitorial offers greater longevity and is suitable for heavy use environments such as in hotels and restaurants. There are also 2 formulations – the standard anti-microbial which forms a totally inert surface on which microbes cannot breed, and anti-bacterial which contains a bactericide to meet EU standards (ASTMS E2180)for the healthcare environment, enabling it to kill bugs such as E. Coli and MRSA.

Simple to apply

Application is quite straightforward. There are 2 stages – pre-clean to prepare the surface after which the treatment can be simply wiped or sprayed on. The treatment will last for many months or will endure many cleaning cycles – for example there is a treatment for car windscreens that keeps screens crystal clear for many months of use with wipers passing back and forth over the surface. Some of the NP coatings such as the anti graffiti coatings and the anti corrosion coatings will last for many years.

Nanopool products include treatments for fabrics, stone, glass and ceramic, stainless steel and wood with special wipes for ovens, refrigerators,plastic, glass and ceramic (anti-bacterial as well as standard) windscreens and alloy wheels.
