What are Nano Coatings?
Essentially, nano technology in the detailing industry utilizes a 9th century Mesopotamian trick.
A trick in which pottery-makers created a metallic nano glaze made from copper, silver salts,
and oxides that created a glittering effect on pottery that up through the Renaissance,
made it distinctive for its ancient, shimmering luster. The term “coating” is nothing more than a new term to identify
these incredibly durable polymers. Because that’s all these nano coatings are, polymers.
A study shows that in 1995, “surface engineering”, the study of the surface of hard matter,
was a $17 billion market in the UK with 50% of that, dedicated to coatings that protect automotive surfaces against wear and corrosion.
Known as “Surface Science”, products now allow the transfer of particles from one surface to the other so that the nano coating
becomes inseparable from the car’s paint surface. Automotive coating manufacturers claim their formulas “bond” chemically
and physically to the paint surface, however, their bond loosens over time! On the other hand,
some of these nano coatings claim they never loosen their bond to the paint meaning that
they need to be buffed off which involves taking off part of your clear coat with it.
But is the difference between “coatings” and poly sealants really in the technology?
