Fluorine-free repellent coating for glass and ceramics

Nano-coating specialists Signo Nanocare UK is launching a fluorine-free glass and ceramic water and dirt-repellent coating – Nanoflex Optiperl. It gives a ‘water-glide’ functionality combined with environmentally responsible fluorine-free technology which meets the green ‘high bar’ by excluding all chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s) and perfluorochemicals (PFCs) – which are particularly harmful to the environment.

Optiperl provides treated surfaces the following characteristics: 

• A water glide quality which is reflected in exceptional smoothness to the touch.
• Optimised hydrophobia – water runs off the surface.
• A high level of non-stick dirt repellent functionality

Optiperl has been developed for use on:

• Glass and ceramic surfaces in sanitary areas (showers, tiles, and mirrors)
• Window and construction glass

With the following benefits:

• Invisible to the human eye (coating thickness to approximately 150nm)
• UV stable, abrasion-resistant
• Resistant to temperature change
• Simple one part application process to clean surfaces
• Chemical resistant between pH 2 to pH 13
• Fluorine-free

Optiperl is available in bulk from 1-200 litre containers for application to equipment during manufacturing or on site.
