Please ask us for more information. We offer hydrophobic scratch resistant, easy to clean solutions for many substrates and applications. Glass is easily one of our most perfect materials. With its strength, insulation qualities and beauty, it is absolutely essential for light transmission and visibility. Glass is often thought to be invulnerable except for breakage, but will in fact corrode or stain if permitted. Surface corrosion or staining is often caused by the deposition of dissolved or suspended minerals in water droplets which are allowed to dry and harden on the glass. As the contaminated water droplets evaporate, the minerals (or salts) become more concentrated and form strong chemical bonds with the glass itself, leading to residues or stains that are difficult to remove, or a permanently damaged etched surface.
Please click on Thumbnail microscopic images of glass surfaces structures, and take a close look at what most people believe is a very smooth surface.  Images of coated glass substrate Proper protection of glass in windows, doors, and skylights throughout the construction process and the life of a building is essential. Planning and execution of the practices offered with the use of Nanotechnology treatment will enable the glass to meet the aesthetic and performance expectations, and the needs of the building occupants. Causes of surface damages on Glass Water run-off from concrete or plaster surfaces. Hard water sources (high calcium concentration) High concentrations of silica or hydrogen sulphide in rainwater. (Pollution) Alkalis from agricultural paddock or crop dust. Sealer rundown. Wrong storage conditions on site. Transport damages; occurs mainly on imported glass.
Nanotechnology surface treatment can protect the glass from all these contaminations and from permanent stains and can make the removal of such substance significant faster and easier. |
