Hydrophilic Natural Formulations

Abraham Sixto Nieves's picture

The photo shows a glass building structure. The glass has been  covered with one of our hydrophilic natural formulations. Once covered it acquires hydrophilic properties. This means it will attract the water on to the glass surface which will absorb it while at the same time it creates a cleaning effect. Also upon the sun hitting the hydrophilic covered glass with its rays, a photocatalysis reaction occurs triggering a chemical response. This permits breakage of organic matter at the molecular level while processing it into harmless carbon dioxide and water. Excellent for cold or heat reduction, hence electrical power consumption. Formulations available for wood, ceramics, stainless steel, stone and many other materials.
