WHY ARE NANO COATINGS IN SUCH DEMAND

The high demand and interest in nano coating materials is due to their remarkable properties that make them a superiorly effective option for many modern industrial and other applications.

Nanotechnology is a very broad field which in recent years has produced many remarkable innovations and discoveries. Here we only focus on the products and types of applications adopted and produced by Mavro International.
Properties of highly innovative coatings based on nano technology.

Nano coatings offer unique properties due to their small particle size. These coatings are typically multifunctional, possessing one or a combination of the following characteristics:

• Scratch and abrasion resistance,
• Chemical resistance,
• UV-resistance,
• Optical clarity,
• Antistatic properties,
• Strong adhesion to various materials,
• Hydrophobic and oleophobic properties,
• And easy-to-clean or self-cleaning capabilities.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CONCEPTS “SELF-CLEANING” AND “EASY TO CLEAN”

It’s important to note that “easy-to-clean” and “self-cleaning” are distinct concepts. Easy-to-clean surfaces are those that are less difficult to clean due to their dirt and water repellent properties, however, they still require periodic manual cleaning. On the other hand, self-cleaning surfaces remain clean through active operation, breaking down dirt through sunlight and washing it away with water during rainfall.
