Nanotechnology glass coating for the reduction of dust accumulation
Based upon our know how in the field of nanotechnology, we have developed a new multi functional coating for glass surfaces that are exposed
to high levels of dust. The coating
NG 1314/D is reducing dry dust buildup on glass, and at the same time provides scratch resistance ,and easy to clean properties.
The target markets are buildings and constructions, solar panels and solar mirrors, and automotive, military and mining applications.
The accumulation of dirt on solar panels has a impact on the performance of solar power systems and solar mirrors. Dust can reduce the
power efficiency by up to 10 % . Even a light dust layer can lead to a reduction of 3 - 5 % .
Sandstorms frequently stirring up clouds of dust that can travel across China, to South Korea and Japan and even as far as the United States. Dusts storms are also
common in North Africa , North America and Australia. Due to climate change, mining and other human activities dust appearance will become more frequent.
Dust accumulation on windows and facades not only makes the buildings look dull, but can be damaging as well. In many locations rain can remove such buildups,
but in many countries, there is little rain in dry seasons and cleaning with brushes and water can be time consuming and can create wear and tear and stress to the glass surface.
In addition, minerals in the dust can react with substrates like
concrete and metals and create ugly and stubborn run down marks on
unprotected glass.
Product benefits
Reduced dust accumulation on glass.
Droplet formation during rinse , easy to clean effect.
Easier to collect water (recycling ) no sheeting.
Water runs down takes dirt with it , Self Cleaning Effect.
Chemical free cleaning possible.
High scratch resistance - dry cleaning of dusty surfaces possible.
Drastically reduced “micro scratching” and wear and tear.
Cost effective, highest coverage rate in the industry.
Based on the need for functional solutions , Nanovations has developed an ultra thin coating for glass that accumulates significant less dry dust than untreated glass.
Nanovations NG 1314 /D is the first coating for external glass that reduces dust accumulates by up to 90 % as shown in tests..
This new technology does not use polymer or surfactants and therefore is significant more robust and wear resistant..
Due to the inorganic composition, the product is high UV resistance
and can last up to 10 to 15 years , depending location and wear and tear.

Less dust on solar panels means less maintenance and higher overall energy production. On a building
the coating protects the glass and the appearance and it
reduces cleaning cycles. NG 1314 /D has a outstanding hardness of 6H. It is possible for example, to clean protected glass hundreds or thousands of time more often
without leaving micro scratches than a unprotected surface. NG 1314 /D creates a strong hydrophobic effect. Once water comes in contact with the surface the water
droplets pickup the dust and dirt remaining can be washed away in seconds. Only little water is required to do so.
On buildings cleaning can be done faster and rain can help to reduce cleaning cycles and maintenance costs.
