Very interesting product. There seems to be alot happening in the new chemicals market.
You have any idea of price?

Looks like a knock off of the Ametvi windshield product...

Nanotechnology -crystalline non-organic polymers

[: the study of the controlling of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. Generally nanotechnology deals with structures of the size 100 nanometres or smaller in at least one dimension] [1]

Nanotechnology refers to the study, creation and application of molecular materials with a particle size that is typically less than one nanometre (nm) is one billionth, or 10−9, of a meter.

By comparison, typical carbon to carbon bond lengths, or the spacing between these atoms in a molecule, are in the range 0.12–0.15 nm. The significance of a polymer nano-coating is that is can form a very tight bond with the surface of most materials; including glass, paint, plastic, rubber, aluminium, chrome, stainless steel, fabrics, and leather will have surface imperfections i.e. peaks and valleys, micro-fissures when viewed under high magnification.

These undulations allow a nano-coating polymer to form a tight molecular bond with the surface it’s applied to.
Surfaces sealed with Nanotechnology sealants repel water, oil and dirt, have antistatic characteristics and protect against chemical and biological damage. Water, oil and dirt can be removed easily, but if the car is very dirty it can be cleaned with a high pressure hose and a microfiber cloth.

• Nanotechnology polymers form a very tight matrix chain-link structure, which forms both a very strong bond and one that is not easily breached by chemicals or detergents.
• This type of nanotechnology coating with its small particulate size are much smaller than those of water; making them hydrophobic (water resistant)
• Due to their size they fill any surface irregularities (micro fissures) which results in a flat surface, one that reflects light without hindrance

Through self-organizing anti adhesion components, the nanostructure forms an invisible barrier similar to glass. Only the 'nanos' remain on the sealed surfaces, while the water evaporates. Surfaces sealed with nanotechnology sealants repel water, oil and dirt, have antistatic characteristics and protect against ultra violet radiation (UVR) chemical and biological damage. Water, oil and dirt can be removed easily, but if the car is very dirty it can be cleaned with a high pressure hose and a micro fibre towel.

To-date my paint protection product of choice has been a polymer product manufactured by a company named Zaino, before nanotechnology nothing could match it for durability, hydrophobicity and ease of maintenance.

Nanothechnology offers superior durability, hydrophobicity, surface hardness and scratch resistance, resistance to environmental contaminants, works like a clear coat in providing ultra violet (UV) and heat radiation protection without colour change (yellowing) or oxidation and easier maintenance, simply rinsing with plain water results in a clean surface without loss of gloss. I think these products will have a profound impact and radically change auto detailing
