Liquid Glass Spray Protects Any Surface

‘Liquid glass’ spray can protect any surface from water, dirt, bacteria, heat, UV

Engineers have developed a new, invisible, non-toxic spray dubbed “liquid glass” that can protect any surface from water, dirt, bacteria, heat and ultraviolet radiation.
The patent for the spray, which is harmless to the environment, is owned by German firm Nanopool. The company is in discussions with several manufacturers to use the spray in everything from cleaning products, high-speed trains, luxury hotels, designer clothing and restaurants.

Liquid Glass is probably the world’s most versatile new technology ?

“SiO2- ultra thin layering” is the technical term for Liquid Glass. Apart from a select group of professionals, few people in the UK know about this stunning technology. If you walk around Ataturk’s Mausoleum in Ankara you are walking on it; if you visit certain hospitals in the UK you are touching it. If you see an unusually clean train you are probably looking at it, and if you wonder how your white settee looks so clean, you may be sitting on it. All of these surfaces have been coated with invisible glass.

The fissure was induced in order present an image which shows the characteristics of the coating.
