Sol-gel nanotechnology coating for easier cleaning of restaurant surfaces.
For the first time, Nanopool GmbH has coated the surfaces of an entire McDonald’s restaurant in Salzburg. Thanks to the sol-gel surface coating process developed by Nanopool GmbH, these surfaces become easier to clean, and the adhesion of dirt is reduced. According to the operator at the time, the use of chemicals and cleaning agents was reduced by up to 40%.
In the Salzburg McDonald’s restaurant, the coated surfaces included the glass of the windows and gallery, plastic flooring, porcelain stoneware tiles, the plastic and ceramic surfaces in the restrooms, the stainless steel kitchen, the kitchen floor and the tables.
NP® nanotechnology in the home, hotel and catering industry does not mean tiny little robots that keep the house tidy like modern electronic helpers. It is first and foremost about extremely thin layers that are applied to a wide variety of surfaces like an invisible protective film. Invisible, because they are a hundred times thinner than a human hair. And you cannot feel the layer either. But you can see what it is capable of.
Kitchen surfaces that come into contact with food can be coated with the NP® layer for easier cleaning and to support hygiene concepts. And for surfaces that require special hygiene, such as toilet seats, the nano layer is also available in an antibacterial version.
Applying the nano layer is also very easy. Simply spray it on, rub it in with a cloth so that the surface is evenly coated, let it dry, and the surface is protected for many months and remains easy to clean in the long term.
The NP® nano layers are based on silicon dioxide, the main component of sand.
The products of Nanopool GmbH have been tested thoroughly. Selected properties have been examined by external laboratories and institutes.
