FAQs – NanoshieldTM Solar-S Coating
What is Solar-S coating?
Nanoveu’s Nanoshield-Solar-S Coating is a proprietary, patent-pending product developed for glass surfaces. It prevents the formation of algae, facilitates the self-cleaning of any glass surface, and makes the surface scuff and scratch resistant.
What are the active ingredients of the coating?
Silica, Silane, Copper Oxide, Isopropyl Alcohol, Rare Earth Minerals plus Nanoveu unique electron-spin treatment.
How does Solar-S coating benefit solar panels?
- It creates an ultra-smooth, hydrophobic, and bacteria-resistant surface to facilitate easy, no-scrub, removal of debris such as sand, sooth, and pollen as well as bird droppings and other airborne contaminants.
- It can reduce the surface temperature of the panels by 4-5°C.
- By creating a microscopic hard glass-like surface, it repairs minor scuffs, scratches, and pits caused by cleaning or environmental elements.
What is the coverage rate?
100 SQM per liter.
How is the coating applied?
- Nanoveu can assess the size and complexity of the application and recommend the best way to apply the product. But in general:
- Thoroughly degrease and clean the panels using water or a cleaning solution depending on the extent of the grime and dirt.
- Make sure the panel surface temp is 35°C or less before the application.
- Apply the coating using the recommended method and tools.
- Allow the coating to dry for 3-5 minutes, depending on the humidity and temperature, until dry to touch.
- Use recommended tools to buff the panel and facilitate spreading and curing the coating.
- Repeat the process if a second coat is needed.
- The coating will be fully cured in 24 hours.
How many coats are required?
If the panels are less than 3 years old, cleaned regularly in the past, and do not show signs of excessive pitting or algae deposits, one coat will suffice, otherwise two coats.
What is the effective life of the treatment?
12-18 months.
Does the product leave any kind of residual layer or add to the thickness of the glass after successive applications?
Solar-S has an extremely small molecular size, and the applied thickness is 2-4 microns. Over time even this layer is worn off except for the coating material which has filled in the pits and scratches. By the time the panels require a fresh coating (12-18 months), there is virtually no residue left.
What is the shelf-life and pot-life of the product?
The sealed container has a shelf life of up to 12 months if it is stored in a dry, cool space under 35°C. Once the container is opened, the product must be used within 4 weeks.
What is the packaging size?
Can be custom sized as needed but normally 1L, 5L or 25L.
Is the coating flammable or present a health hazard?
The coating is not considered toxic or dangerous but the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as gloves, face mask, and eye protection is recommended while applying the product.
What is the HS code for the solution?
3208.90.19 (Singapore HS Code).
What is the difference between the S Coating and S Coating Premium
Premium S – a harder and more durable surface that is longer lasting and suitable for harsher and more demanding conditions.
How can you assess the effectiveness of the coating after application?
The treated panels would exhibit high hydrophobicity which is an indication that the effective qualities of the coating are present.
If hydrophobicity is reduced or completely eliminated, it indicates that the coating is not as effective as it should be. This could be caused by excessively dirty environmental factors such as airborne grease particles, sooth, or pollen. The hydrophobicity can be restored by minimal cleaning of the panels without scrubbing or other mechanical means.
