Glass Coating NG-1314 to reduce dust on glass

Glass protection and reducing dust in challenging environments and applications

Nanovations NG 1314 is the first glass coating that is reducing dry dust buildup on glass, and at the same time provides a high scratch resistance in combination with easy to clean properties.

This new multi functional technology does not use organic polymer , organic anti dust agents or organic binder and therefore can be used on external surfaces and is significant more robust and wear resistant .

With its inorganic composition, the product exhibits remarkable UV resistance, ensuring its durability for more than a decade on glass surfaces. The product can handle extreme high dust environments, regular cleaning cycles, regular dust removal, high water pressure, brushes etc. The target markets for this product include buildings and constructions, solar panels and solar mirrors, as well as military, mining and marine applications.

The accumulation of dirt on solar panels for example, has an impact on the performance of solar power systems and solar mirrors. Dust can reduce the power efficiency of the panels. Even a light dust layer can lead to a reduction of 2 – 5 % . The coating also makes the panels significant easier to clean and provides additional protection against the effects of weathering and the removal of abrasive sand and dust particles.

Dirt and dust not only makes the glass 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 removal of sand and dust can create excessive 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. Compared to uncoated glass, NG1314 coated glass can be cleaned hundred and thousand of times , before micro scratches and visible wear and tear appears.
