Nano-coating specialists Signo Nanocare UK are launching a fluorine free glass and ceramic water and dirt repellent coating – Nanoflex® Optiperl. This coating gives a new and impressive ‘water-glide’ functionality combined with environmentally responsible fluorine free technology, which meets the green “high bar” by excluding all chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and perfluorochemicals (PFCs) – which are particularly harmful to the environment.
Optiperl provides treated surfaces the following characteristics:
- A unique water glide quality which is reflected in exceptional smoothness to the touch.
- Optimised hydrophobia – water runs off the surface.
- A high level of non-stick dirt repellent functionality
Optiperl has been developed for use on glass and ceramic surfaces in sanitary areas (showers, tiles, and mirrors) and on window and construction glass. It offers the benefit of being invisible to the human eye (coating thickness to approximately 150 nanometre), UV stable and abrasion resistant, resistant to temperature change, has a simple one part application process to clean surfaces, is chemical resistant between pH 2 to pH 13 and is fluorine free.
Optiperl is available in bulk from 1-200 litre containers for application to equipment during manufacturing or on site.
