Innovative hygiene technology at the Pusteblume daycare centre in Schwalbach
Saarland supports the use of Liquid Glass Technology in the hygiene concept of the new daycare centre
With the opening of the new Pusteblume daycare centre in Schwalbach-Hülzweiler in April 2026, one of the largest facilities of its kind in Saarland officially began operations. Its hygiene concept also incorporates a functional surface treatment applied by Nanopool GmbH.
The Saarland Ministry for the Interior, Building and Sport provided €11,537 in funding for the use of so-called Liquid Glass Technology in hygiene-sensitive areas. The municipality of Schwalbach had previously announced that the costs of this measure would be fully covered by funding from the Ministry of the Interior.
Protecting health in sensitive environments
In connection with the funding, Saarland’s Minister for the Interior, Reinhold Jost, particularly emphasised the preventive approach:
“By supporting innovative technologies, we are helping the municipality of Schwalbach to sustainably minimise the risk of infection while creating optimal conditions for both children and staff.”
Alongside Minister Jost, Saarland’s Minister for Education, Christine Streichert-Clivot, and representatives of the municipality attended the official opening of the daycare centre. The Saarland state government’s official schedule expressly described the event as the opening of the daycare centre combined with the presentation of a needs-based grant for the use of a “Liquid Glass Technology”.
The surface treatment was carried out by Nanopool GmbH, which is based in Schwalbach-Hülzweiler. Prior to the project, the municipality had already identified Nanopool as the company responsible for applying the funded nano-coating.
For Nanopool, the project also forms part of the company’s long-standing development of technologies for surfaces in hygiene-sensitive environments.
Documentation from previous years includes applications in hospitals, care facilities and daycare centres, as well as studies and external assessments relating to such applications.
From earlier hygiene projects to the daycare centre in 2026
For Nanopool, the Pusteblume daycare centre is therefore more than simply a new reference project. It demonstrates how a surface technology developed over many years can be applied in a modern municipal facility today – and how prevention, municipal responsibility and technological innovation can work together.
Transparency and supporting evidence
Nanopool is currently restructuring its historical and scientific documentation. In future, individual applications will be directly linked to the corresponding studies, press reports, videos and other available sources.
The Pusteblume daycare centre project will also form part of this documentation.
