What are nanotechnology protective spray and what do they do?
We all take it for granted that if a few drops of coffee or wine spill on our clothes, they are bound to get stained.
We panic at the sight of a child with shoes on our sofa or the sight of mud on our carpet.
We rush to clean bird droppings off our windshield and car paint, in the first case cursing about the time we are wasting, and in the second case worrying whether it will leave a stain (dullness) on the paint.
We wonder how to deal with lateral moisture on the stone walls of our village house without changing their appearance.
And not for a single moment do we question this "bound to". Why do surfaces get dirty? "They just do," someone will tell you. That's just how it is, period! We grew up with this knowledge; it is part of our world and perhaps we don't need to overthink it: we will clean, we will maintain, we will pay money. We will pay in time and effort. And we simply have to compromise with that!
Fortunately, technology does not compromise!
Nowadays, we know that surfaces get dirty because foreign particles, "dirt" or "moisture", get trapped inside the nanopores of the surfaces—the small pores, invisible to the naked eye, that all surfaces have. We consider a stainless steel sink or our car's windshield to be less porous compared to our wool sweater (and that's true!), but if we look at glass or stainless steel under an electron microscope, we will notice that they too are full of pores. And that is exactly where the "dirt" molecules that make our lives difficult settle: dust, pollen, bird droppings, food, tree resin, environmental moisture, microbes, fungi, etc.
The solutions available to us have limited effectiveness.
I don't know if you remember the mother's shout, "Don't step there! I just mopped!". As children, it might have seemed like an exaggeration, but it perfectly echoes the despair of an endless process: no matter how much you clean, no matter what you do, the surface will literally get dirty the moment you finish! No matter how much you "burn" a surface with bleach, as soon as it evaporates, microbes will reappear first, followed by visible stains. We are "doomed" to fight a battle that is lost from the start!
What if, in some way, we blocked the path of dirt and moisture?
What if we had a way to close these nano-pores and deny foreign particles entry into our surfaces?
SiO² (Silicon Dioxide) nanotechnology protectors
Modern nanotechnology protectors do exactly what we just mentioned: They prevent nano-particles of dirt and moisture from penetrating the nano-pores of the surface.
How do they do this?
By the term "nanotechnology protector," we mean a liquid solution containing water or alcohol and SiO² (silicon dioxide) nanoparticles. By applying this solution to a clean surface, the SiO² nano-particles penetrate the nano-pores, thereby integrating into the surface and performing—what we call in nanotechnology language—the sealing of the surface. In this way, they block unwanted particles of dirt and moisture from entering!
Thus, nanotechnology protectors impart several unique properties to surfaces:
First. They make surfaces "easy to clean". Because dirt and moisture are no longer trapped in their pores, surfaces clean easily, effortlessly, usually with just a little water. This saves us money from the daily use of expensive and harmful chemical cleaners, and of course, a lot of effort.
Second. Surfaces become hydrophobic. Their natural waterproofing increases spectacularly and allows highly absorbent materials (e.g., fabric) to repel water (and, of course, liquid stains). This property is very useful for waterproofing surfaces where other waterproofing methods are either unfeasible or problematic. For example, nanotechnology allows us to waterproof the walls of a traditional house without changing their appearance. Or to waterproof the joints of a melamine structure, shielding it from any sneaky penetration of moisture. Or to waterproof ceramic tile grouting. Or our bathroom ceiling.
Third. Nanotechnology protectors DO NOT change the appearance and do not change the texture of the surfaces to which they are applied. They do not form a "film" or any sort of crust on the application surfaces; instead, they penetrate and integrate. This is very important because if a product forms some kind of crust on the surface, it is most likely not a nanotechnology protector. Or at least not SiO². This offers some unique advantages in certain applications. For example, if we wish to waterproof a stone or concrete surface with Nano-Stone, it is impossible—due to a mistake or lack of experience—to trap moisture inside, something which often has unpleasant consequences.
Fourth. They last a long time. Precisely because they penetrate surfaces and integrate into them, they are not easily destroyed by environmental elements and are not removed because of them. For instance, contractions and expansions due to temperature leave them practically unaffected. Thus, technically, their lifespan depends on the application surface, while practically, for most products, it can reach up to eight years! In simple terms: your shoes will wear out before the protector you applied to them does!
Fifth. They are easy to apply. The application of most protectors is a simple matter and only requires spraying or painting the surface. More important and demanding is always the—anyway necessary—cleaning of the surface.
Sixth. They are safe for the user and the environment. By 99%, a nanotechnology formulation consists of deionized water and alcohol. In fact, the products carry food safety certifications.
Seventh. The result is usually visible shortly after application.
Eighth. They offer increased antimicrobial protection on surfaces and absorb a significant portion of UV radiation.
In conclusion, we can say that modern nanotechnology protectors offer a multitude of solutions to dozens of our everyday problems.
