Nanotechnology surface treatments can significantly reduce the use of chemical cleaners and save water and maintenance costs. Less cleaning cycles on a high rise building means less occupational health and safety risks.
Concrete and stone faces can be treated to reduce water absorption. Dry walls are much better insulation against hot and cold weather, reducing energy bills. The overall appearance of the structure will improve.
Contamination can be removed much easier and the danger of permanent surface damage through pollution like acid rain is reduced.
Road safety improves. Road hazards while driving in rain are more visible and can be seen much earlier.
Nanotechnology surface treatments are not slippery.
These coatings can be applied to almost any surface including skin, with the implication that all surfaces within a facility can be “nanoed” with great ease and at very low cost.
Wash basins, mirrors, toilets, door handles, computers, work surfaces can be treated with a simple wipe or spray in a matter of seconds creating washroom areas which will be bacteria free for at least 6 months. Once treated with this food safe coating, surfaces can be cleaned very easily as the soiling agents will not have adhered to the surface.
Within Hospitals and healthcare environments this is particularly useful. Everything from stethoscopes to mobile phones and light switches can be nanoed in seconds, and for just a few rupees. If you were to buy previously, moulded anti-bac light switches and door handles it would cost a lot.
Additionally, the environmental benefits are of enormous significance as in most instances the treated surfaces can be cleaned without the use of detergents or other cleaning products. A simple swish of water or a rub of an NP micro-fibre cloth will suffice.
The products cover an enormous range of specialist applications such as fabric treatment (making all carpets, mattresses, clothing and furnishings stain resistant and anti bacterially treated.) There is also Stone Treatment which creates a stain proof and anti bacterial covering for tiled or stone surfaces and Oven Treatment which is effective up to 450 C.
