Liquid Glass

A new spray-on coating is revolutionizing everything from medical implants to silk shirts, and could make cleaning products obsolete. Untitled1It’s made from nearly pure silicon dioxide (SiO2) – the normal compound found in glass – that has been extracted from quartz sand. Depending on the application it is to be used for, the SiO2 is mixed with either ethanol or water. It can then be sprayed on virtually any surface to protect it from UV rays, water, dirt, heat, insects or bacteria.

Quantum forces hold the nano-scale glass particles to the surface, and the resulting coating is only 100 nanometers (15-30 molecules) thick. On this scale, the coating is also flexible and breathable so it can be used on fabrics and even plants with no adverse effects.

In the home, it can be sprayed on sinks, tiles and countertops to eliminate the need for scrubbing and strong cleaners. One application will last for up to a year.
