Food-Tech

Hygiene and food safety start at the surface.

Nanopool’s Liquid Glass technology can give suitable food-contact surfaces a repellent, easier-to-clean property — from agriculture and food processing to gastronomy and retail. Depending on the product system, functional layers are designed to reduce the adhesion of microorganisms and moisture and to make cleaning simpler.

Hygiene & food safety
Lesscleaning effort reported by practitioners — actual effects depend on the application
  • Food contact — SiO₂ layer tested per product
  • Water-based cleaning — fewer aggressive agents
  • Barrier — against moisture, oil and grease
  • Awarded — SDG Award 2021 (agriculture)
Applications

From the field to the counter.

The technology is used along the entire food chain:

Agriculture

In the awarded development project, a barrier coating was designed to support seeds and young plants as an approach to reducing the use of conventional crop protection. This application was recognised with the SDG Award 2021.

Food processing

Treated production surfaces can be maintained easily with water, leading to increased efficiency and safety in daily cleaning operations.

Gastronomy & retail

Maximum hygiene at points of sale — particularly for open food, counters and high-contact surfaces in kitchens, canteens and shops.

Core benefits

Cleaner processes, safer products.

The NP® technology supports food businesses in several ways:

Practitioners report reduced cleaning effort and less use of aggressive cleaners in comparable applications. Whether and to what extent costs can be reduced depends on the specific application.

Hygiene & prevention

Need documented hygiene evidence?

For hygiene-sensitive areas such as food production, meat and dairy processing and chain catering, nanopool’s Bacterlon® technology adds a documented hygiene dimension — investigated in laboratories and under real operating conditions.

In the production kitchen

Hygiene you can see beading.

On treated stainless steel, water and residues bead off — surfaces stay hygienic with water-based cleaning alone.
