What is "Stain Resistance" Nanocoating?

Before discussing the advantages of adding "Stain Resistance" nanocoating, lets first define what it is. Nanocoating is a process that involves applying a thin layer of material to a surface. This layer is made up of nano-sized particles that can provide various benefits such as scratch resistance, water resistance, and easy cleaning

"Stain Resistance" nanocoatings are designed to repel dirt, liquids, and other substances that can stain or damage surfaces. They works by creating a barrier that prevents these substances from sticking to the surface, making it much easier to clean and maintain.

Advantages of "Stain Resistance" Nanocoatings

There are many benefits your customers will thank you for when their furnishing portfolio is protected with nano-coating. "Stain Resistance" can be coated on a wide range of surfaces, including textiles, leather, plastic, wood, wool, faux-leather, glass, and more. Lotus Nano generally specifies products known as silica-based nanocoatings which are particularly safe to use in the furnishing industry. Here some of the key advantages of "Stain Resistance" silica-based nanocoatings your clients will enjoy:

💎  Increased Durability

Nanocoatings are extremely durable, and they can withstand harsh environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures, humidity, and UV radiation. This makes them an ideal choice for surfaces that are exposed to the elements, such as outdoor furniture, car exteriors, and more.

💦  Water Resistance

Nanocoatings are also highly water-resistant, which makes them an excellent choice for surfaces that are exposed to moisture or spills, such as textiles and leather. These coatings can help to prevent water from penetrating the surface, which can help to prevent staining, mould growth, smells and other types of damage.

🧼 Self-Cleaning Capabilities

"Stain Resistance" nanocoatings are designed to have self-cleaning capabilities, which means that they can repel dirt, dust, and other contaminants. This is particularly useful for surfaces that are exposed to dirt and grime, such as car exteriors, outdoor furniture, and more. Self-cleaning nanocoatings can help to keep surfaces looking clean and new for longer, which can save time and money on cleaning and maintenance.

🪟  Transparency

Most silica-based coatings are so thin that they appear transparent to the human eye, which means they can be applied to surfaces without altering their appearance in any way.

🌟  No changes to your product

"Stain Resistant" nanocoatings do not alter the “look & feel” of your products. Nanocoatings can help to hide imperfections and create a more polished and professional appearance.

✅  Biocompatibility:

We work mostly with silica-based coatings. Silica is a naturally occurring mineral and is non-toxic, which means silica-based coatings are generally considered to be biocompatible and safe for use in offices or households, are child and pet safe, and even used extensively in the medical industry.

♻️  Environmental friendliness:

Nanocoatings Lotus Nano works with are environmentally friendly and do not contain harmful chemicals or solvents, which can make them a good choice for companies that prioritise sustainability.

📅 One-Coat & Long Lasting

Most "Stain Resistant" coatings just need to be applied with a single layer and can easily last for several years. However, harsh physical abrasion (like scrubbing with high pressure) and / or strong chemicals (such as detergent) are its worst enemies on furnishings.
