The Lotus effect is associated with a very high water resistance ( superhydrophobicity ) for the
self- cleaning properties. Dirt particles and water drops are repelled from the surface and does
not penetrate into the fabric.
Buddhists associate lotus with divinity, as it rises from the dirt and remains pure, as a soul
descended from human existence can become a divinity. For a thousand years in Asian civilisation
lotus symbolise purity and inspiration to strive for excellence. German scientist, botanist
Dr. Wilhelm Barthlott drew attention to the fact that on rainy day lotus leaves remain dry. Fascinated
with the a unique natural phenomenon, he investigated the plant's leaf surface and discovered
that leaf itself is not perfectly smooth, on the contrary, it is very uneven and dotted with microscopic
''bumps'' - this was the reason why water drops can't stick onto the leaf. The scientist named this
phenomenon the ''Lotus Effect''. How water behaves on the natural lotus leaf you can see below
in the video.
Therefore, the idea of nanotechnology surface protection against dirt is ''borrowed'' from nature.
Lotus leaves do not absorb water, as the water is running down the leaf, carrying down with them all
other substances present on the leaf.
Due to its high surface tension, water droplets tend to reduce the their surface to try to achieve a
spherical shape. In contact to the surface, the bonding force is caused by wetting the surface.
Complete or incomplete irrigation may occur depending on the surface structure.
Scientists studied this phenomenon and tried to imitate it. With the help of this phenomenon, used as
a basis to create and develop NANO products, which now you can assess the practical ''Lotus Effect'' meaning.
General maintenance and cleaning becomes more simpler and easy, time and money is saved and the
use of chemical is required only in exceptional cases.
Nano products are recommended for all businesses, which because of the hygiene standards have to
continuously wash and clean the surface, such as : grocery stores, restaurants, cafés, butchers, etc.
And of course all of those who want to facilitate your own cleaning process, or protect valuable and
expensive items from dirt and wear and tear.
Maintenance-free surfaces and all types of fabrics, hygienic cleanliness is visible in long-term,
anti-bacterial properties of all NANO-coated surfaces, easy cleaning, complete neutrality on the skin,
safe even for anyone with allergies, as well as simple to use Nano products - are testimony to the
unlimited NANO product utilisation in all areas of human activity.
Proven, lasting and very effective protection. The protective NANO-coating is utilised to preserve the
surface. This is a protection against aggressive environmental effects of erosion and scratches.
If the repelling protective coating effect decreases, it can probably be associated with the dirt.
In this case, the surface or fabric should be clean using mild detergent ( to achieve best results
it is recommended to clean with NANO cleanser ), and washed carefully with water. After this the water
repelling effect should be restored ( with textile - after its completely dry ). If the NANO coating is damaged,
it can be ''fixed'' without any problems - just re-treat the surface with correct NANO product.
