New Approaches to Stone Protection – Comfort Factor, Material Protection and Energy Savings in One!

Long-Term Hygiene as the Hallmark of the “City on the River” To permanently protect its new sandstone benches on the Neckarlauer against dirt, bird droppings, chewing gum, graffiti and the growth of algae and moss, the City of Heidelberg had the stone surfaces refined with the environmentally friendly high-performance coating from Nanopool. The invisible multifunctional layer against dirt adhesion and weathering residues ensures that natural contamination on the surfaces is washed away by rain alone. This makes the recreational area on the riverbank even more attractive while also saving water, thereby supporting energy-saving measures – the so-called energy-efficient refurbishment.
Revolution in the baking industry: How Nanopool technology transforms proofing baskets

In the bakery, it is sometimes the smallest things that play a decisive role. One of these ‘small’ things is proofing baskets – a basic tool that is nevertheless crucial to every baker’s success. At Nanopool, we have focused on revolutionizing this seemingly simple tool through the use of Nanopool technology. Nanopool technology is an exciting innovation that works on the nanoscale – that is one billionth of a meter! By treating proofing baskets with this technology, we achieve considerable resistance to the adhesion of microorganisms. This leads to a significant improvement in hygiene standards in the baking industry.

Celebrating Children’s Health on World Children’s Day: Nanopool’s Liquid Glass Revolution at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital

This World Children’s Day gives us the opportunity to celebrate a crucial innovation that has become widespread in recent years. Originally introduced at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, it has since been successfully implemented in numerous healthcare facilities and nurseries. Toys and frequently touched surfaces are treated prophylactically to reduce the spread of disease-causing bacteria. The innovation we are talking about is Nanopool’s liquid glass coating. This coating turns toys and contact surfaces into invisible fortresses against bacteria and infections. This technology has significantly raised the standard of hygiene in children’s environments and stands for the protection of our children, the future of our world. Pauline Bradshaw, Head of Infection Prevention at Alder Hey Hospital, has emphasised the importance of hygiene for toys and contact surfaces. She even compares it to the cleanliness of medical equipment. Through its collaboration with Nanopool, the hospital was able to revolutionise the disinfection of toys and other surfaces. Nanopool, a leading family-owned company, has been setting new standards in the industry since its foundation. The patented liquid glass coating not only provides an effective disinfection method but also makes cleaning toys and contact surfaces considerably easier. This means less time and effort for cleaning staff and more time for looking after and caring for the children. Our special thanks today go to Alder Hey Hospital for the trust they placed in us at the start of our collaboration and for their pioneering role in the field of hygiene. The efforts of both sides have the potential to change the lives of many children for the better. Let us celebrate children’s health today and together create a safer and healthier environment for our children. Not only on World Children’s Day, but on every day of the year, the well-being of our children is at the heart of our efforts.

Fighting hunger: defensive instead of aggressive – with biologically safe crop protection

Occasionally it fades a little into the background of our awareness alongside new, overwhelming topics, yet hunger remains one of the most pressing problems in this world. After all, well over 850 million people worldwide suffer from hunger. Withered harvests and pest plagues are a depressing everyday reality in countless countries, including in Europe. And after the harvest, mold during transport and storage repeatedly means that food has to be destroyed before consumption.
