How does ceramic sealing work?

Nanotechnology and the lotus effect: the science behind the ultra-thin layer

Nanotechnology plays a key role in the sealing of ceramics. Specially developed chemical compounds create an ultra-thin layer that evens out the smallest unevenness on the ceramic surface. This layer ensures that liquids such as water and oil roll off instead of sticking to the surface. This not only makes the surfaces more resistant to dirt and bacteria, but also easier to clean.

The application of this sealant gives the surfaces a lotus effect, which means that liquids simply roll off. This prevents water and other liquids from leaving behind limescale deposits or soap residue. The surface becomes dirt-repellent and water-repellent, which makes cleaning much easier. And best of all, the protective layer is so thin that it does not affect the feel or appearance of the ceramic, but provides effective protection against everyday soiling.

Easy-to-clean effect: Why is soiling easier to clean?

The easy-to-clean effect of the ceramic sealant comes directly from the nanotechnology coating. This layer makes the surfaces dirt and water repellent, which means that dirt and liquids can no longer stick to them. The result? Most dirt can simply be wiped away, often a sponge or microfiber cloth with a little cleaner is enough.

This effect is particularly useful in damp rooms such as the bathroom. As aggressive chemicals are hardly necessary, this not only protects the environment, but also the surfaces, which look like new for longer. Even stubborn stains such as limescale or soap residue are removed in no time at all.

In addition to simplifying cleaning, the sealant also protects against discoloration and deposits that could be caused by dirt and chemicals in the long term. In short: the sealed ceramic surfaces remain beautiful for longer and the amount of cleaning required is significantly lower. A clear plus point for

Why is ceramic sealing important for your bathroom?

The advantages of nano sealing for ceramic surfaces

Sealing ceramic surfaces with nanotechnology has many advantages, especially in rooms such as the bathroom that come into contact with moisture and water on a daily basis. Untreated ceramic can quickly become a collection point for dirt, limescale and bacteria. The nano sealant covers the surfaces like a protective shield, repels water and dirt and keeps bacteria away. This is not only good for hygiene, but also helps to extend the life of the ceramic.

The easy-to-clean effect makes cleaning child’s play and reduces the use of harsh cleaning agents. Such a sealant is therefore an investment in health and helps to keep the ceramic in the bathroom beautiful and intact in the long term. Water stains and limescale hardly stand a chance of settling. The effect also makes cleaning the surface much easier, saving you time and money.

With a nano sealant, the ceramic sanitary ware stays as good as new for longer – a cost-effective method of avoiding expensive bathroom renovations and keeping the bathroom in top condition for longer.

What types of ceramic surfaces can be sealed?

Toilets, washbasins, tiles & co.: effectively combating dirt

Toilets, washbasins, tiles, etc. – almost all ceramic surfaces in the home can benefit from nano sealing. This protective layer repels dirt and water, makes cleaning easier and gives surfaces a new shine. Sealing is particularly worthwhile in damp rooms such as bathrooms and kitchens, where water is omnipresent.

For the best result, the sealant should be applied to dry and clean surfaces. The advanced technology of nano sealing can even refresh and additionally protect surfaces with slight discoloration or signs of wear. This flexibility makes nano sealing a real plus for every bathroom and kitchen.

It is up to you whether you apply the sealant yourself or hire a specialist. It is surprisingly easy to use and can make a big difference to everyday life by making cleaning easier and keeping surfaces looking like new for longer.

The right application: How to take advantage of the properties of the sealant and protect the surface

All our products from Versiegelung24.com can be applied to the surfaces yourself. It is important that you follow the application instructions for the specific product. These may differ from product to product. It is therefore not necessary to hire a professional.

Steps to success: Ultra-thin protective layer against liquids & co.

  1. The preparation and pre-cleaning of the surface plays a decisive role: it must be thoroughly cleaned, free of grease and completely dry. A common mistake that affects the result is applying the sealer to a surface that is still damp or dirty. The surface must be completely dry and clean.
  2. Make sure that you have the necessary accessories such as an application cloth, microfiber cloths, gloves and, if necessary, other protective accessories such as safety goggles or a breathing mask to hand.
  3. Application should be carried out in a well-ventilated area to avoid damage to health and to ensure adequate curing. Observe the application temperature and shake the product well before use. Now apply the product according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  4. After application, the specified drying time must be ensured so that the sealant can develop its maximum effect.

Cleaning and care of sealed ceramic surfaces

Regular cleaning: The best practices for maintaining protection

Regular and gentle cleaning is crucial for the preservation of sealed ceramic surfaces. Here are some best practices to help maintain protection and appearance in the long term:

  1. Mild detergents: Mild detergents are completely sufficient for daily care. Aggressive substances should be avoided as they can attack the sealant.

  2. Soft cleaning tools: A soft cloth or sponge is ideal. Abrasive brushes or scouring pads could damage the sealant.

  3. A gentle approach: Light soiling and stains can usually be removed with water and a soft cloth. For more stubborn stains, cleaning agents specially developed for sealed surfaces can be used.

  4. Environmentally friendly products: Gentle cleaning is not only good for the sealant, but also for the environment. Less aggressive chemicals mean a lower environmental impact.

  5. Regular checks: Adjust the cleaning frequency to the degree of use. It is advisable to check sealed areas regularly for signs of wear or damage.

  6. Special cleaner for heavy soiling: If necessary, use cleaning agents that are suitable for use on nano-sealed surfaces to maintain the longevity and effectiveness of the seal.

By following these tips, you can ensure that your nano-sealed ceramic surfaces retain their shine, dirt repellency and aesthetic quality for a long time.

Limescale and soap residue: effect of the sealant on stubborn stains

Nano sealing for ceramic surfaces is a real game changer when it comes to combating limescale deposits and soap residue. These common culprits in bathrooms and kitchens are much easier to handle thanks to the special coating. The sealant forms a barrier that makes it difficult for limescale and soap to adhere. You can often remove these residues with just water and a soft cloth.

If stronger cleaners are required, it is important to choose those that are suitable for sealed surfaces. This could be our BIOSATIVA® organic cleaner, for example. It is made with biological surfactants and is therefore completely harmless to humans, animals and the environment.

Is a ceramic sealant the same as a sealant for ceramics?

No, a ceramic sealant is used on cars, for example, and a sealant for ceramic surfaces in the home. Ceramic sealing in the automotive sector is a high-quality, stronger and more durable nano sealant that is applied to a vehicle’s paintwork to protect it from environmental influences, dirt and water.

Why should ceramic surfaces be sealed?

The sealant creates a dirt and water-repellent surface, which significantly reduces the amount of cleaning required. The sealant also provides a beading effect, which makes it easier to remove fingerprints and dirt and can extend the service life.

Can anyone apply a ceramic sealant or is specialist knowledge required?

In principle, anyone can apply a ceramic sealant, but it is advisable to read the application instructions carefully. For larger or particularly valuable ceramic surfaces, it may be advisable to consult a specialist.

How long does a nano seal last on ceramic?

The durability of a nano sealant can vary depending on the type of use and frequency of cleaning. In general, a high-quality ceramic sealant can provide several years of protection. Regular care and avoiding aggressive cleaners can extend the service life. Our products usually last 1-3 years. If the beading effect diminishes, the sealant can be renewed.

What happens when the seal wears off?

As soon as the sealant wears off and the beading effect diminishes, the surface can be prepared again and a new layer of sealant applied. It is important to check the surface regularly and renew the sealant if necessary to ensure long-term protection.

Can the ceramic sealant be applied at all temperatures?

For optimum application, the temperature conditions should be between 5°C and 20°C. Temperatures that are too cold or too hot can affect the result. The conditions vary depending on the product, so it is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the best application.

Can droplet formation actually reduce the adhesion of dirt to surfaces and thus simplify the cleaning of firmly adhering dirt?

Yes, the droplet formation of nano sealants can effectively reduce the adhesion of dirt to surfaces and simplify the cleaning of firmly adhering dirt. By creating a water-repellent layer that causes water and other liquids to form droplets, dirt particles are removed from the surface with these droplets. This process prevents dirt from sticking directly to the surface, making it easier to remove residues such as limescale and soap, often using only water. This significantly reduces the amount of cleaning required, less aggressive cleaning agents are needed and overall surface care is easier.
