Protect mineral building materials from the inside out. Our low-viscosity, deep-penetrating impregnation / waterproofing / proofing provides long-lasting protection against moisture, UV radiation and abrasion.

The problem:

Moisture is the main cause of damage to mineral building materials. It leads to reinforcement corrosion, efflorescence and frost damage. Surface protective layers can quickly lose their effectiveness due to UV radiation and mechanical abrasion (e.g. road traffic), allowing water to penetrate again and making expensive renovations necessary.

The solution: Nanoflex® Infusion:

Nanoflex® Infusion is an EN 1504-2 certified, liquid organosilicon nano-coating developed for effective deep hydrophobization. Thanks to its small, low-viscosity silane-based molecules, it penetrates deep into the building structure and forms a permanent chemical bond. The substrate remains breathable and wicks moisture away from the inside to the outside.

How it works:

The extremely small molecules of Nanoflex® Infusion penetrate deep into the pore structure of the building material. There they react and form a hydrophobic layer that effectively prevents the penetration of water and the pollutants dissolved in it. As the protection is deeply anchored in the material, it remains effective even with superficial wear or UV exposure.

Main features and benefits:

  • Deep-penetrating protection: Penetrates deeply, unaffected by UV radiation and mechanical abrasion.
  • EN 1504-2 certified: Tested quality and effectiveness (OS 1 system, principles 1, 2, 5, 6 according to EN 1504-9).

The first product on the market based on hyperbranched SiO₂ derivatives - solvent-free, emulsifier-free, fluorine-free, durable and incredibly versatile.

The problem:

Conventional surface protection agents often reach their limits, whether in terms of durability, environmental compatibility or range of applications. The demand for high-performance yet safe and ecologically harmless solutions for the protection of a wide variety of surfaces is constantly growing.

The solution: Nanoflex® zero NMR:

Nanoflex® zero NMR (Nano Modified Resin) is a revolution in surface protection. It is the first product of its kind to be based on hyperbranched SiO₂ derivatives and offers an extremely strong hydrophobic effect on almost all surfaces. This concentrate is free of solvents, emulsifiers and fluorocarbons and has an excellent ecological profile with remarkable performance.

How it works:

The hyper-branched structure of the silicon dioxide polymers in Nanoflex® zero NMR enables a unique three-dimensional cross-linking on the surface. This results in an extremely dense and stable protective layer (approx. 200 nm) with an exceptionally high contact angle (145°-110°) and a low slip angle (15°), which provides an impressive water beading effect and self-cleaning properties.

Main features and benefits:

  • Strong hydrophobic effect: On almost all surfaces.
  • Long-lasting: Up to 6-12 months of protection.
  • Hyperbranched SiO₂ derivatives: Unique technology for maximum performance.
  • Free from solvents, emulsifiers & fluorocarbons: Excellent ecological profile.
  • Easy to use: Can be formulated in many ways as a concentrate.
  • Softening/smoothing effect: Improves the feel of certain surfaces.
  • Cross-linking with specific surfaces: Ensures optimum adhesion.
  • Antimicrobial finish (optional): For additional hygiene protection.
  • Versatile application: washing machine, spray bottle (trigger/pump), sponge, brush, polishing.
  • Temperature stable up to 150°C permanently.

Areas of application & formulations:

  • Mineral surfaces: Terraces, kitchens (10% concentrate + water + acid).
  • Wood & furniture: Invisible impregnation (10% concentrate + water + acid + butylglycol/ethanol).
  • Outdoor/motorcycle clothing: Washable impregnation (20% concentrate + water + acid).
  • Textiles, tents, convertible tops, leather: spray or wash-in impregnation (10% concentrate + water + acid).

Liquid Guard®: Permanent antimicrobial protection - your answer to everyday hygiene problems.

Reduce germs by up to 99.999% on surfaces and textiles. Effective against bacteria (incl. MRSA), viruses (incl. SARS-CoV-2), fungi and mold - dermatologically tested and award-winning.

The problem:

Everyday surfaces are breeding grounds for microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and mold. These can cause smear infections, unpleasant odors, allergic reactions and material damage. Conventional cleaning and disinfection only offer temporary protection – germs can multiply again unhindered between cleaning cycles.

The solution: Liquid Guard®:

Liquid Guard® offers permanent antimicrobial protection that significantly reduces the microbial load between cleaning cycles. This innovative coating is physically effective against a broad spectrum of microorganisms and offers long-lasting hygiene and safety. Liquid Guard® is the winner of the German Innovation Award ’19.

How it works – Physical defense:

Liquid Guard® forms an ultra-thin layer (approx. 150-300 nm) of tiny, positively charged “spikes” on the surface. These attract the negatively charged cell walls of microorganisms. On contact, the spikes pierce the cell wall, which leads to the destruction and decay of the germ. This purely physical mechanism prevents the formation of resistance (“non-mutagenic”) and the leaching of active ingredients.

Main features and benefits:

  • Broad spectrum of activity: antibacterial (incl. multi-resistant germs such as MRSA), antiviral (confirmed effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2, influenza A), fungicide, anti-mould & anti-odour.
  • Permanent protection: Long-lasting effect for months (up to 1 year recommended until reapplication).
  • Physical mode of action: No formation of resistance, no “leaching” of active ingredients.
  • Reduction of CFUs by up to 99.999%: Laboratory and field studies prove high effectiveness (JIS Z 2801:2012 > log 4).
  • Dermatologically tested: “Very good” by Dermatest GmbH (72h exposure).
  • Free of SVHC: In particular free of fluorine, PBT and vPvB substances.
  • Versatile application: For hard surfaces (non-absorbent via wet wipe, absorbent via spray) and fibrous materials.
  • Easy to clean: Facilitates the cleaning of limescale, soot, grease, dust & biofilm deposits.
  • Safety-enhancing: Promotes comfort, well-being and safety.
  • Regulated: Marketable according to the Biocidal Products Directive (BPR), Article 95 compliant, dossier for active substance submitted.

Areas of application – a selection:

  • Surfaces: Plastics, glass, metals, wood, ceramics, stone, air filters, vehicle parts.
  • Materials: roofing, building materials, furniture construction, concrete products.
  • Consumer goods: worktops, ventilation systems, furniture, sanitary ware, floor coverings.
  • Fibrous materials: upholstery, mattresses, carpets, clothing (incl. socks against athlete’s foot – effective up to 10 washes), footwear, sports equipment.
  • Public areas: sanitary facilities, stainless steel railings, vending machines.
