5.  The term NANO is derived from the ancient Greek word
meaning dwarf: think everything phenomenally
small……..instruments, products, materials, atoms
 Nanomaterials & nanotechnologies are terms used by
engineers almost everywhere on account of recent major
advances in the materials science community:
Instrumentation / AFM, sol gel disposition / soft lithography
and so on
 These technologies are multidisciplinary, offering
opportunities in every business sector . They are
revolutionising how we manage our environment and
business processes and offer some truly compelling value for
organizations.

6. Why is it important?
 New technologies can reduce communication costs by £millions per
annum ( Let us show you!)
 New ways to clean, using 40% less water
 Remove need for aggressive cleaning chemicals
 Reduce cleaning cycles by 50%
 New R&D products, new processes, new solutions
 Reduced fuel and oil use, ( c11% ( Let us show you!), + increased time
between maintenance cycles
 Make light more efficient ( Let us show you!)
 Positive impact on Healthcare / Construction / material design
 Bigger than the ICT sector within a decade
 Countless new applications to address sustainability issues

7. Where has it come from?
Nano materials have always been with us: the
building blocks of life = atoms & molecules.
What’s new: our ability to see and manipulate these
particles using:
 Advanced instrumentation
 Scanning Tunnelling Microscope (STM)
 Atomic Force Microscopes (AFM)
 Torsional Harmonic Cantilever (THC)
 Enabling Single molecule imaging, manipulation
and the entire chemical reaction in real-time

10. Smart thin film coatings can offer value with
no negative influence on the look, colour or texture of materials
 Long-lasting and has a flexible coating
 Grease/Oil repellent
 Salt water resistant
 Detergent Proof
 Water Repellent
 High efficiency and resists acid, alkali, and solvents
 Odourless
 Short drying time
 UV Stable

11. Why is it an opportunity for
your organization?
 Green technologies offer scope to reduce costs & improve Footprint status
 Brings real change, innovation and opportunities to improve Brand and profit
 A real force for competitive advantage: all sectors
 Antimicrobial protection for schools, colleges , public transport facilities etc
 Cut all fleet cleaning costs / time, for example by 50%
 Less energy costs = less business costs & compliance
 Less water usage / better water management
 Reduced pollution / better recycling
 Reduce fuel costs for fleets around 11% average savings
 Increased productivity / time / materials /
 Aesthetic enhancement (front of house / vehicles/ property)
 Food productivity ( more for less)
Sept 2011

12.  Reduced costs for cleaning and
maintenance / noise control
 Seen to be Green in strategy and
operation
 Introduction to new world of
nanoscience (can bring alternative
benefits in products, services &
building design)
 Hallmark / Innovative company
Water conservation is good
Energy savings is good
Front of House, Business Names and
Signs can look permanently new

14.  Applications depend on materials and size of project
 One needs to first define the result required
 Most large applications require an electric atomiser
 Note the three types of coating functions:
 1. Hydrophobic ( water repelling…drops form beads….using Sio2 etc ( so easy cleaning,
less detergents, labour….
 2. Hydrophilic ( water attracting : drops flatten out) Tio2… the functions are opposite! (
the force of the water to the surface on impact removed dirt which then falls with gravity
and rain)
 3. Photocatalytic ( UV-induced reactions that cause decomposition of dirt
molecules….great for outside glass & concrete)
1, CLEAN- 2, Pre-CLEAN, 3,SPRAY, 4, POLISH
Polymerisation will take immediate effect,
within 24 hours

15.  Always wear mask
Spray in well
ventilated room or
outdoors if appropriate
 Wear rubber gloves
 Keep away from live
flame or sparks
and comply with all
application & safety
instructions provided
by manufacturer
Comply with
temperature warnings

16. Abrasion can remove coatings. Anti-bacterial charge can fail after 12 months.
Surface tension can be measured to determine fatigueless . Follow up cleaning of fatigued areas with
Isopropanol, pre-cleaner is recommended. New applications may be required annually depending on
materials and environment. Coatings generally are food safe.

17. Below Copy of email received for
ongoing hospital trial
Hi Dermott,
As you can see from the spreadsheet attached we have had some really good results from the test 24hrs after the
application, really impressive.
We will continue to test on a weekly basis for the next three weeks and I will forward the results to you as we gather
them.
Cheers
