What is Nano?

"Nano" is a term used to refer to an extremely small scale, namely at the nanoscale, i.e., about 1 to 100 nanometers (nm). One nanometer is equal to one billionth (10^ (-9)) of a meter.

Nanotechnology deals with the research, design, and application of materials, structures, and devices at the nanoscale. Nanomaterials have special properties due to their small size and structural changes at the atomic or molecular level.

Application of Nanotechnology in the paint industry

In the paint industry, nanotechnology has been applied to create nano-paints that have special properties. The nanoparticles used in nano paints are extremely small in size, allowing them to penetrate deep into the surface and providing innovative features, including resistance to harsh environments, UV resistance, flame retardant, antibacterial, self-cleaning, and improved durability.

Ultraviolet (UV) resistant paint: Nanoparticles have the ability to absorb and reflect ultraviolet rays, helping to protect painted surfaces from the effects of the sun. This helps prevent fading and protects the paint layer overall.

Self-cleaning paint: Nanotechnology has allowed the creation of paints with self-cleaning properties. Nanoparticles have the ability to decompose dirt and pollution on the painted surface, helping the paint maintain its natural beauty and easily clean the surface.

Fireproof paint: Nanoparticles can be used to improve the flame-retardant properties of paints. Nanoparticles have the ability to create a fire barrier and reduce the spread of fire.

Antibacterial paint

Nanotechnology provides antibacterial capabilities to paints. Nanoparticles have bactericidal and antimicrobial properties, preventing the growth of bacteria and mold on the painted surface.

Moisture-resistant and dust-resistant paint: Nanoparticles have the ability to form a waterproof layer, preventing water and moisture from penetrating the painted surface. In addition, they also help prevent dust and pollution from adhering to painted surfaces.

Self-healing paint: Nanotechnology has enabled the development of paints that are self-healing. Nanoparticles have the ability to self-adjust and fill small scratches on the paint surface, helping the paint maintain its beauty and durability over time.

Waterproof and salt proof paint: Nanotechnology provides waterproofing and salt resistance.

Outstanding properties of Koro Nano paint

Nanoparticle Size: Koro Nano paint contains microscopic nanoparticles ranging in size from 1 to 100 nanometers (nm). This small size gives nanoparticles the ability to penetrate deeply into the surface and paint environment, creating a thin and uniform paint layer.

Good adhesion: Due to their small size and special surface properties, nanoparticles have the ability to enhance the adhesion of paint to surfaces. This reduces the risk of peeling and layering of paint, maintaining the sustainability and durability of the paint layer.

Ultraviolet (UV) protection:  Koro Nano paint is more resistant to ultraviolet rays. Nanoparticles can absorb and disperse ultraviolet rays, which protect the painted surface from the effects of the sun, preventing fading and peeling of the paint.

Antibacterial and anti-mold: Nanoparticles have antibacterial and anti-mold properties. This helps prevent the growth of bacteria and mold on the paint surface, keeps the paint in a clean state and protects the health of the user.

Self-cleaning properties: Koro Nano paint is capable of self-cleaning. Nanoparticles have the ability to decompose dirt and pollution on the painted surface, helping the paint maintain its natural beauty and easily clean the surface.

Enhanced color fastness: Koro Nano paint is able to improve color fastness and prevent fading. Nanoparticles help reflect and disperse light, maintaining the original color of the paint for a long time without fading.
