The Ultimate Protection - No not Trojan, Spray-on glass

  • Liquid glass spray a.k.a. "SiO2 ultra-thin layering" is transparent, non-toxic, and offers protection from water, UV radiation, acid, dirt, heat, and bacteria.
  • Silicon dioxide (silica, main compound in glass) added with water/ethanol depending on surface to be coated, no additives.
  • Works by forming a water-resistant coating ~100 nanometers thick.
    • Nanoscale thickness makes the glass highly flexible and breathable (potential biological usage).
  • Non-toxic, environmentally safe, easy-to-clean with water & wiping.
  • Potential Usage:
    • Sterilizing equipment & surfaces (food/medical industry, around the house = bye bye unnecessary cleaning products).
    • Protection of monuments & buildings from weathering and graffiti.
    • Coating seeds & plants to increase resistance to fungal/bacterial diseases.
    • Stain-resistant clothing.
  • Available in DIY (Do-it-yourself) stores in Britain soon, prices starting ~£5 (US$8).
