2. The word itself is a combination of nano,
from the Greek “nanos” (or Latin
“nanus”) and means dwarf or midget.
Nanotechnology relates to the
production, research and use of
extremely small structures.
It is the art and science of manipulating
matter at the nanoscale

3. Nanometre is the scale used to
measure objects in the nano world
One nm (short for nanometre) equals
one millionth of a millimetre
One nanometre represents about 4 to
6 atoms
Hard to comprehend

4. Nanotechnology is based on the
manipulation of single atoms and
molecules, to structure and
re-structure complex atomic
formations.
The scale of a nano-molecule
relates to a basketball compared
to the size of the Earth

5. When molecules that normally bustle about
unorganised in materials, are structured in a way
that each atom stay where it should be, the
impossible becomes possible.
Materials get new powers when the atoms are
controlled and closely arranged.
Nanotechnology manipulates molecules so that
they organise themselves. Nature serves as the
model. The aim of nanotechnology is making
molecules organise themselves without the help
of a human.

Different Nano coating for each different type of
surface
All substrates are not the same
Porous / non porous
Metal / glass / wood / stone / fabric
One product does not do everything

9. Howdoesitwork
The nano particles organise themselves to coat and
bond with the surface.
When the surface is smooth and non absorbent,
nano particles combine with the surface so liquids
are repelled taking contaminants with them.
With porous surfaces, the nano particles fill up the
pores. Fungus, lichen, algae and moss (in and
outside) can no longer adhere to the surface. Dirt
and liquids can't get into the surface and are simply
repelled.
This is similar with textiles (natural and synthetic
fibres), the fibres are surrounded with the coating.

10. Howdoesitwork
The 'nanos' form an invisible barrier similar to
glass. Only the 'nanos' remain on the sealed
surfaces, while the carring agent evaporates.
The look, texture and breathability of the
treated materials are not affected.
Nano coatings are only a few nanometres thin
and cannot be seen with the naked eye.

11. Howdoesitwork
Phase 1: Particles arrange themselves intelligently
during application.
Phase 2: The binding components migrate to the
surface, the anti-adhesive components are directed
out towards the air.
Phase 3: Nanos self-organize and form an ultra-
thin, protective

It protects mechanical, electrical and electronic
components, assemblies, devices, machines and
installations against all forms of moisture, without
impeding their electrical conductivity.
It ensures electrical conductivity, even under water, usual
short-circuiting. The same applies for the functionality of
electronic parts and appliances or systems.
It protects all kinds of metal from corrosion and rust and
lubricates the coated metal.

29. ItsBenefits
Quick and easy to use
Economical and long lasting
Dirt Oil and Water repellent
No harsh chemical needed to clean coated
surfaces
Environmentally friendly
Easy to clean / self cleaning surface
It saves time and money
Durability and Longevity

30. Predictions
Nanotechnology users will exceed 250 million
households within the next 5 years.
Rapidly growing demand due to unlimited
possible applications for surfaces.
5 million business users forecast within 2 years.
Today, the nanotechnology market is growing
more than twice as fast as biotechnology sector

31. It is rated as one of the key technology of the
21st century.
Potentially the basis for the next industrial
revolution.
The true potential of nanotechnology has not
yet been exploited.
