Euroguard: how it works

Contrary to popular belief, the surface of glass is not completely smooth, in fact under a microscope, glass reveals a rough 'honeycomb' pattern made of peaks and potholes. Contaminants fill these potholes and react chemically with the glass, firmly bonding to its surface. As a result, glass can easily become stained and hazy making it unattractive, unhygienic and difficult to clean and keep clean.
 

Nano-technology is the science dealing with sub-microscopic particles that are measured in nanometers (billions of a metre). The largest nano-structure is about 1,000 times smaller than the human eye can see.  At this scale, substances can be created that form a very strong, permanent bond with the surfaces to which they are applied.

Euroguard™ uses this technology as a way of treating glass to stop corrosion; repel dirt, soap scum and water; and by reducing contaminants adhering to the surface, thereby making the surface hydrophobic - the "run off" effect.

HOW IT WORKS:

The sealant, consisting of adhesive, matrix-forming and anti-adhesive components, is applied to the glass surface.

 

Adhesive components bond chemically with the glass surface, nano particles form a solid and stable matrix, anti-adhesive components migrate to the surface.

 

The sealant forms a water, oil and dirt-repellent shield.
