Durability Report
Nanokote has taken all the products currently on the Australian market and had them all individually independently tested for their durability and abrasion resistance. Please click the below link to view all the coatings results!
Durability of Hydrophobic Coatings Summary Jan 2011
Experimental Aim:
To evaluate the abrasion resistance of a range of hydrophobic glass coatings by simulating normal cleaning procedures.
Conclusion:
The results of the abrasion resistance testing shows that the coating material from Nanokote significantly outperforms all competitive products tested. In fact the Nanokote coating material shows little sign of deterioration, even after 10,000 double abrasion cycles. Industrial quality coating materials for application on glass as a hydrophobic coating should be capable of passing 5000 double abrasion cycles. This equated to cleaning once per week over a period of 10 years (10 scrubbing cycles per weekly clean). The test method employed is designed to as best possible mimic the normal cleaning process that is used to remove limescale, soap scum and mineral deposits from glass.
