Nitoguard® Glass Sc Nano coating for glass
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Nitoguard® Glass Sc is an innovative nano-coating based on titanium dioxide (TiO2).
Nitoguard® Glass Sc forms a permanent protective layer without changing the appearance of the surface.
Nitoguard® Glass Sc forms a hydrophilic film that is only a few nanometres thin. The hydrophilicity of the coating is generated by a photocatalytic process in the presence of natural sunlight. The surface tension of the surface is increased above the air/water value, causing condensed water to fully spread over the surface.
Nitoguard® Glass Sc is therefore self-cleaning in its entirety in locations where there is periodic rainfall ( >2-3 times a year) or where regular cleaning with water is used.
Nitoguard® Glass Sc lowers the cleaning costs of solar panels and in the long term delivers a 5% increase in efficiency.
The Nitoguard® products consists of a collection of high-quality coatings for several different surfaces. The use of high-quality raw materials based on fluorine or nanotechnology makes it possible to obtain long-lasting and extreme water-, grease- and dirt-repellent properties. Because every material is different, the Nitoguard® product line has a solution for every type of material.
USE
Nitoguard® Glass Sc can be applied on glass and other hard and smooth surfaces such as glazed tiles and ceramics.
Nitoguard® Glass Sc is widely used on for example agricultural greenhouses and solar panels.
CHARACTERISTICS
• Invisible to the human eye
• Self-cleaning
• Easy in use
PACKAGING
1 and 5 L.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Ensure the surface is completely clean, dry and free from dust. Clean the surface beforehand on the basis of the contamination that are present on the glass:
Lime residues: Abrasive of 20% w/w Cerium (IV) oxide in water or Glassrenovator, followed by a second cleaning with Isopropanol.
Silicone and soap residues: Siliconeremover and Uniclean.
Industrial contaminants: Abrasive Cerium (IV) oxide, followed by a second cleaning with Isopropanol. Rinse thoroughly with water. Let the substrate dry completely.
2. Apply Nitoguard® Glass Sc on a clean lint-free microfibre cloth and apply the product with a polishing movement on the surface until the product is invisible.
3. Nitoguard® Glass Sc can be applied on large surface with the aid of a low pressure spray or a spray bottle. Contact our technical advisors for advice.
4. If it is desired to remove Nitoguard® Glass Sc from the surface, this can be done with an abrasive of Cerium (IV) oxide.
APPLICATION CONDITIONS
Nitoguard® Glass Sc can be applied in all dry weather conditions.
