Stainless steel, aluminium, galvanised steel: metal surfaces face moisture, corrosion and heavy daily use. The NP® Liquid Glass technology supports corrosion protection while appearance and feel remain unchanged.
Protected surface, corrosion attack reduced.
Moisture and salts drive corrosion.
The NP® Liquid Glass technology creates an ultra-thin, transparent protective layer on metal surfaces. Through targeted functionalisation, water- and dirt-repellent properties are achieved without significantly changing the appearance, feel, or technical properties of the metal.
The characteristic surface structure remains intact, while the surface is supported against moisture, contamination, and environmental influences that promote corrosion. Cleaning and maintenance are facilitated, supporting long-term corrosion protection.
The performance of the NP® Liquid Glass technology for metal surfaces has been tested by independent testing and research institutes: suitability for food contact applications, corrosion resistance under salt spray exposure, and coating durability under mechanical abrasion.
The results demonstrate that the NP® Liquid Glass technology supports corrosion protection of metal surfaces and maintains its protective function even under mechanical stress.
The nanopool surface technologies are suitable for a wide range of metals and metal products. Tap a material for details:
Especially with high-quality metal surfaces, maintaining long-term functionality and appearance is essential. Tests confirm that the NP® protective layer supports corrosion protection and largely maintains its surface function even after mechanical stress. Tap an application area:
Hygienic stainless steel surfaces.
Stainless steel in food processing must be safe and easy to clean. The coating is food contact certified and reduces deposits.
Components and plant surfaces.
Machine and plant surfaces stay cleaner and easier to maintain, supporting reliable operation.
Architecture in metal.
Metal façades face weather and pollution. The repellent function supports appearance and corrosion protection.
Mobility surfaces in daily service.
Vehicle and rail surfaces benefit from reduced soiling and corrosion stress in demanding daily service.
Metal surfaces must be durable, economical, and easy to maintain. At the same time, requirements for corrosion protection, hygiene, and sustainability are increasing. nanopool solutions create added value through:
Designed for:
The most common questions about protecting metals and metal surfaces.
No. The transparent NP® protective layer has been developed to preserve the natural appearance and surface structure of the metal.
Yes. Independent tests show that NP® treated metal surfaces exhibit lower corrosion attack under corrosive conditions compared with untreated reference samples.
The protective effect was tested using a Taber Abraser over 5,000 abrasion cycles. The coating remained detectable through contact angle measurements after testing.
Yes. Independent tests confirm compliance with Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004 and the requirements of the German Food and Consumer Goods Act (LFGB).
Yes. By protecting high-quality metal surfaces, extending service life, reducing cleaning requirements, and supporting corrosion protection, the technology can contribute to sustainable material and utilisation concepts.
