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.
The technology is used along the entire food chain:
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.
Treated production surfaces can be maintained easily with water, leading to increased efficiency and safety in daily cleaning operations.
Maximum hygiene at points of sale — particularly for open food, counters and high-contact surfaces in kitchens, canteens and shops.
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.
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.
On treated stainless steel, water and residues bead off — surfaces stay hygienic with water-based cleaning alone.
