Façades, windows, showers, balustrades: glass surfaces face weather, limescale deposits and intensive use every day. The NP® Liquid Glass technology keeps water and deposits from adhering, with transparency and brilliance fully preserved.
Water and limescale are repelled, brilliance stays.
Limescale and dirt build up on the surface.
The NP® Liquid Glass technology creates an ultra-thin, transparent protective layer on the glass surface. Through targeted functionalisation, water-, dirt-, and limescale-repellent properties are achieved without significantly altering the optical properties of the glass.
Transparency, brilliance, and light transmission are maintained, while the surface is supported against water spots, limescale deposits, contamination, and environmental influences. Depending on the application area, cleaning is significantly facilitated.
The performance of the NP® Liquid Glass technology for glass surfaces has been tested by independent testing and research institutes: long-term resistance to artificial weathering, mechanical durability of coated safety glass, optical properties, and suitability for food contact applications.
The results demonstrate that the NP® Liquid Glass technology largely maintains its water-repellent properties even after 3,500 hours of artificial UV weathering, without affecting the strength of safety glass or the optical quality of the surface.
The nanopool surface technologies are suitable for a wide range of glass products and transparent surfaces. Tap a material for details:
Especially with high-quality glass surfaces, maintaining transparency and optical quality is essential. Tests confirm that the NP® protective layer does not negatively affect light transmission or reflection properties while supporting long-term water-repellent functionality. Tap an application area:
Building envelopes with lasting brilliance.
Large glass façades create high cleaning costs. Repellent surfaces extend cleaning intervals and support the representative appearance.
Less limescale in daily bathroom use.
Shower glass faces water, limescale and soap daily. The coating reduces adhesion and makes cleaning noticeably easier.
Clear views with less effort.
Windows and conservatories stay clearer for longer; rain beads off and deposits reduce.
Presentation surfaces at their best.
Shop windows and interior glazing present products brilliantly when surfaces stay clean and clear.
Buildings with extensive glass surfaces create high demands regarding cleaning, value preservation, and operating costs. nanopool solutions create added value through:
Designed for:
The most common questions about protecting glass and transparent surfaces.
No. The transparent NP® protective layer has been developed to preserve transparency, brilliance, and light transmission. Tests confirm no adverse changes to the optical properties.
Yes. The water-repellent effect was tested after 3,500 hours of artificial UV weathering and remained largely intact.
No. Independent tests confirm that NP® treated tempered safety glass meets the normative requirements for characteristic flexural strength.
Yes. The NP® coating fulfils the requirements of Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004 and the provisions of the German Food and Consumer Goods Act (LFGB).
Yes. By reducing cleaning requirements, extending maintenance intervals, and protecting high-quality glass surfaces, the technology can contribute to sustainable building and utilisation concepts.
