When we hear the word nanotechnology we tend to envision tiny armies of robots or sci-fi movies, but this science that works with materials at the nano-scale level, encompasses a wide range of every day applications, all meant to create materials that offer new solutions to make your life better. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
One area where nanotech is providing money saving and sustainable benefits is in products for the home. Here are a few technologies currently available: <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
1. Nansulate Home Protect - Clear liquid insulation. This patented technology, in existence since 2004, has been used on international airports and Naval bases. It offers a paint-on solution to increasing insulation and energy efficiency in an environmentally friendly nanocoating that inhibits heat transfer. Customers report saving between 20%-40% on energy costs. Pricing: 50 cents per S.F. at recommended 3-coat coverage. www. nansulate.com\/homeprotect.htm <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
2. Nano-Tex - High performance fabrics. This innovation in fabric technology has been available since 1998, and is used in multiple consumer items such as workout clothes that keep you dryer, stain repellent furniture fabrics, and sheet sets that keep you cool and comfortable. The innovations include moisture control, odor control, stain resistance, and wrinkle resistance. Pricing varies according to product. http:\/\/www.nano-tex.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n 3. NanoGuard - Behr paint technology. Announced in 2007, this technology is used to provide multiple qualities to both exterior and interior paints. The Premium Plus Ultra uses an interlocking molecular structure to offer a denser, more durable paint film. When dry, the paint forms a protective shell that resists damage from sunlight, moisture, stains and dirt. Pricing: approximately 15 cents per S.F. if doing 1-coat. http:\/\/www.behr.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n Read the rest here: When we hear the word nanotechnology we tend to envision tiny armies of robots or sci-fi movies, but this science that works with materials at the nano-scale level, encompasses a wide range of every day applications, all meant to create materials that offer new solutions to make your life better.
