Be a Glass Protector with Nano Liquid’s Safety Shield
Nano Liquid has introduced two new products; the Glass Protector and the Safety Shield.
The Glass Protector is a polymer coating that creates a hydrophobic (water repellent) surface on glass by using propriety nano-chemistry originally developed for the space program. It settles into micro crevices of glass, chemically bonding to its surface. According to the company, Glass Protector improves scratch resistance up to 15 percent more than untreated glass, thus increasing a wind-shield’s ability to resist chips and pitting from rocks, sand and other atmospheric debris. Its hydrophobic properties are being marketed as boosting visibility by reducing glare at night and while driving in the rain. Under the right environmental conditions Glass Protector can last up to four years, the company says.
The Nano Liquid Safety Shield also uses a proprietary polymer technology to create a hydrophobic surface on wind-shields to improve visibility in the rain by causing rain drops bead-up so that they are wicked away from a windshield’s surface quickly. According to the company, the specialized formula reduces glare, improving visual awareness up to 34 percent while driving at night and in the rain. Nano Liquid says its formula uses nanotechnology that binds to glass using covalent bonds to create a near perfect windshield surface, making Safety Shield different from other hydro-phobic applications because the polymers react with and attach to the glass’s surface and allowing it to last several months and up to two years depending on your environment.
