From hand axe to reinforced concrete

Up until now, mineral materials have been preferred as construction materials. Floors, facades, wall coverings and roofs made of granite, basalt, marble, sandstone and shale. Concrete calls itself modern-day stone. It is made artificially but predominantly from natural materials. Virtually anything is possible with concrete.

Like natural stone, concrete is also a mineral compound, basically a stone and it is hence susceptible to moisture that can lead to frost damage or corrosion to steel reinforcements. An invisible coating applied using Nanogate-Technologie^® protects the mineral compounds from penetrating damp. Environmental influences, like exhaust gas residue and acid rain, as well as damage from graffiti, represent dangers to stone.

Sealed against sun, wind and rain

Nanogate-Technologie^® maintains the value of the building.
The nanoGuard^® product family offers a variety of application areas, for example dirt-repelling functions for porous surfaces in floorings, and water-repelling coatings for facades.
A new system of tunnel coatings for example works as a water repellency and stain resistance for easy cleaning and brightness in road tunnels. It prevents the chemical bond between dirt and surface. Chemical agents are no longer necessary for the cleaning, so disposal coasts and environmental pollution can be minimized.

Nanogate-Technologie^® can be used for a successful prevention but also sanitation. The enhancement of mineral surfaces using Nanogate-Technologie^® boasts many opportunities, also for your products and applications. Ask our specialists.
