A Complete Line of Environmentally Friendly Nano-Technology Surface treatments

Primary Goal: Environmental Friendliness

An overriding goal of the Nano Tekon product line is to be environmentally friendly. This is primarily achieved by employing nano-technology surface treatments that are permanently affixed. Applied once, these products remain in place and provide permanent cleaning and sanitizing solution.

In contrast, most surface treatments involve chemicals that are effective for a short period of time, but then leach away, contaminating the environment and the water system. These treatments can include bleaches, lead, mercury, antiseptics, and an endless variety of chemically manufactured active compounds. These substances perform their function by chemically reacting with the various contaminants, which can result in worrying byproducts. If they leach away before reacting, these compounds can later react with unintended targets, like human skin and organs.

Specifically, Nano Tekon’s antimicrobial solution utilizes permanently affixed molecular spears that pierce and destroy bacteria, viruses, odors, mold, mildew, allergens, fungi, algae and yeasts on a wide variety of treated surfaces – providing a safe and sanitary environment. Without the Nano Tekon antimicrobial solution, a variety of chemical cleaning and antiseptic compounds would have to be repeatedly applied, at regular intervals.

Nano Tekon’s treatment for creating self-cleaning surfaces involves the use of a permanent application of TiO₂ (titanium dioxide) – the harmless base of most modern paints. The TiO₂ acts as a catalyst, breaking down (oxidizing) the organic compounds that dirt / grime, bacteria, viruses, mold, algae, mildew and oils are composed of. This done, the remaining particulates fall away, or are washed away by rain or a quick spray of water. Without the Nano Tekon TiO₂ solution, a variety of chemical cleaning compounds would have to be repeatedly applied, at regular intervals.

Nano Tekon’s sealants for glass and natural stone create a permanent smooth surface that fills pores in the underlying material. In this manner, it prevents the build up of dirt and grime in these pores. In the case of glass, this also prevents spotting and streaking. Without this preventative treatment, a variety of chemical cleaning compounds would have to be repeatedly applied, at regular intervals.

All of Nano Tekon’s products require significantly less water usage for ongoing cleaning and maintenance, which is itself an important environmental outcome.
