What is nano sealing and what effect does it have?

“Nano” is derived from the Greek word for“dwarf” and is used as a prefix to denote the billionth part of a unit – this corresponds to a number with a one followed by nine zeros after the decimal point (0.000,000,001). To illustrate the order of magnitude: One nanometer corresponds to millionth of a millimeter, ten millionths of a centimeter or one billionth of a meter. These tiny dimensions allow nanotechnology to operate in a world far below the limits of traditional microscopy, opening up groundbreaking applications in materials science, medicine, electronics and beyond.

Nano sealing is a state-of-the-art protective measure that forms an invisible, resistant layer on surfaces. This process transforms the chemical structure of the surface so that it resists and effectively repels external influences such as dirt, UV rays and liquids.

Description of the nano sealing technology

The technology behind nano sealing is a masterpiece of modern chemistry and physics. At an atomic level, surfaces are modified to mimic the properties of a lotus leaf surface, which means that water and dirt simply roll off instead of sticking. This microscopically fine structure is the key to dirt and liquid repellency, which makes the lotus effect possible.

How does the lotus effect work with a nano sealant?

The lotus effect in nano sealing is a prime example of imitating nature in technology. The sealant creates a smooth, micro-structured surface that is designed in such a way that water droplets cannot form a bond. Instead, they roll off, taking dirt and impurities with them, making the surface effectively self-cleaning. And if something does remain on the surface, it can be easily removed with a little water and a soft cloth.

Advantages of nano sealing with lotus effect

The use of a nano sealant offers a wealth of benefits: It provides lasting protection against wear and tear, dramatically simplifies cleaning (easy-to-clean effect), improves the durability of sensitive surfaces such as paint and glass and offers extended protection against aggressive environmental influences. This durable barrier not only maintains the good looks, but also helps to reduce maintenance costs.

Disadvantages of nano sealing

Despite its advantages, nano sealing requires expert application in order to exploit its full potential, which can be a challenge, especially for non-professionals. The initial cost may be higher than traditional sealers, but the long-term benefits and maintenance cost savings justify the investment. Always ask the manufacturer how to apply the respective sealants.

Suitable areas of application for nano sealants

Nano sealants are suitable for a wide range of applications, from the automotive industry to sanitary engineering and building glazing. They offer protection for paintwork, metals, ceramics, stone and concrete surfaces as well as wood. This versatility makes them a preferred choice for industry and households alike who value cleanliness, aesthetics and durability.

How does nano sealing work in different areas of application?

Nano sealing in the automotive industry

In the automotive industry, nano sealing protects car paintwork from dirt and makes cleaning much easier. Dirt such as bird droppings rolls off and leaves less residue. Almost all exterior and interior surfaces of a car can be sealed. Ceramic sealing is suitable here for special protection, which impresses with its extremely high hardness and long-term protection.

Nano sealing in sanitary technology

In sanitary technology, nano sealing protects surfaces such as shower cubicles and fittings from the adhesion of limescale and other impurities. The result is a surface that stays clean for longer and is easy to clean.

Nano sealing on glass surfaces

Glass surfaces that have been treated with nano sealing develop a beading effect so that water droplets and dirt simply roll off and the glass stays clean for longer. For example, pollen, weather stains, etc. do not settle so easily and the glass stays clean for longer.

Nano sealing on stone and concrete

Nano sealing protects stone and concrete surfaces from dirt and makes them easier to clean, as dirt and liquids cannot penetrate the pores. Here we differentiate between breathable sealants, also known as impregnation, and non-breathable sealants. The right sealant must be selected depending on the application.

Nano sealing on wood

Even wooden surfaces can benefit from nano sealing by protecting them from moisture and other environmental influences without changing their natural appearance.

Which products and methods are suitable for nano sealing?

Nano-sealing products are characterized by their chemical properties and the use of nanotechnology, which form a protective layer on the treated surface.

Application and application of nano sealants

Nano sealing is usually carried out by applying special products that are applied to the surface and polished to achieve an even coating. It is important that the manufacturer’s instructions are followed. As a rule, thorough pre-cleaning is required so that the sealant can develop its maximum protection. But the application itself also differs from product to product. Ceramic sealing, for example, is much more difficult to apply and should be carried out by a specialist if necessary. The following steps must be followed:

  1. Preparation of the surface:

    • The surface to be sealed must first be thoroughly cleaned to remove all dirt particles, oils and other contaminants. This can be done with a special cleaning agent that is suitable for the surface in question. We recommend the use of a sustainable cleaning agent for basic cleaning and the use of an ethanol cleaner to remove stubborn stains and soiling.

  2. Basic cleaning:

    • If necessary, a deeper cleaning should be carried out to remove stubborn dirt or deposits. This could include, for example, polishing metal or glass.

  3. Degrease the surface:

    • After cleaning, the surface must be degreased to ensure that the nanoparticles can form an optimal bond. This is a critical step that is often carried out with isopropanol or ethanol or a similar solvent.

  4. Drying:

    • The surface must be completely dry before applying the sealer. It is important that no water or dirt is left behind that could impair the effectiveness of the nano sealing.

  5. Application of the nano sealant:

    • The nano sealer is then applied according to the product-specific instructions. This can be done with a sprayer, a cloth or a sponge, depending on the product and the surface to be treated.

  6. Allow to take effect:

    • The sealant must be left on for a certain period of time. The duration varies depending on the product, but is decisive for the formation of the nanolayer.

  7. Re-polishing:

    • After the sealant has worked in sufficiently, the surface is polished with a microfiber cloth. This serves to remove excess material and smooth the surface.

  8. Curing:

    • The complete hardening of the nano sealant can take several hours to days. During this time, the surface should be protected from water and other stresses.

  9. Quality control:

    • After curing, the surface should be checked to ensure that the sealer has been applied correctly and has the desired properties.

How does the nano sealant work during cleaning and care?

Easy cleaning thanks to nano sealing

Thanks to nano sealing, treated surfaces are much easier to clean, as dirt and liquids do not adhere and can simply be wiped off.

Care instructions and durability of nano sealants

Nano sealants are generally long-lasting and require only minimal care to maintain the lotus effect. Regular rubbing off of dirt particles reactivates the nano sealing. The greater the abrasion, the faster the nano sealant needs to be renewed.

Nano sealing vs. conventional sealing methods

Compared to conventional sealing methods, nano sealing offers a durable protective layer that is easy to clean and lasts longer. Due to the chemical bond, the nano seal lasts significantly longer compared to a wax seal, for example. It is therefore an effective alternative to conventional sealing methods if you want to provide robust protection for your surfaces.

Maintaining the lotus effect and refreshing the nano sealing

The nano sealing can then be refreshed by simple polishing to maintain the lotus effect and the protective effect. If the sealant has been applied a long time ago, you should apply a new coat. However, you should always follow the manufacturer’s and seller’s instructions.

UV protection and long-term effect of the nano sealant

Nano sealants not only offer protection against dirt, but also increased resistance to UV rays, which protects the treated surface in the long term.

Nano sealing with lotus effect is a method in which surfaces are given a water and dirt-repellent coating using nanotechnology. This technique imitates the natural self-cleaning ability of the lotus plant. Nanoparticles, which are just a few nanometers in size, form a chemical bond with the surface, allowing water and dirt to simply roll off.

When applying the nano sealant to the car, the surface is first cleaned thoroughly, often with a pre-cleaner. The nano sealant is then applied. The nanopolymers of Nanotol sit in the pores of the surface and smooth them to create a seal that repels water and dirt. The car will then be easier to clean and will stay clean for longer.

Yes, nano sealing is ideal for shower enclosures as it prevents limescale and water stains. During application, the glass surface of the shower enclosure is first cleaned before the nano sealant is applied evenly. After curing, water runs off more easily and the cabin is easier to clean.

Almost any surface can be treated with nanotechnology. There are special products for glass, paint, metal or ceramics. It is important to choose the right product for the surface in question, such as Nanotol Sanitary Set for bathroom surfaces or special car sealing products for paintwork.

The durability of a nano sealant depends on various factors such as the wear and tear on the surface and the quality of the sealant. On average, a nano sealant can last between 6 months and several years. For heavily used surfaces such as car windscreens, it is advisable to renew the sealant regularly.

Many nanotechnology sealants, such as those from Nanotol, are food-safe and environmentally friendly. The nanopolymers form an aqueous solution that does not contain any harmful substances. Nevertheless, the manufacturer’s instructions should always be observed during use and suitable protective measures taken.

Powder coating technology is used in many industries, including the manufacture of household appliances, automotive parts, electronics and more. It provides effective surface protection against abrasion, corrosion and weathering. The powder typically consists of a mixture of finely ground plastic and color pigments.

In contrast to conventional sealing methods, which often form a visible protective layer, nano sealing works on a molecular level. The nanoparticles penetrate the pores of the surface and form a chemical compound that creates an almost invisible and durable protective layer. This technology makes the surface water and dirt repellent without changing its look or feel.

Suitable protective gloves should be worn when applying the nano sealer and adequate ventilation should be ensured. It is important to apply the product according to the manufacturer’s instructions and to avoid contact with eyes and skin. Furthermore, the sealant should not be applied at extreme temperatures or in direct sunlight to ensure optimum adhesion.
