NanoPhos at a glance

• NanoPhos SA is a high-tech, chemicals
  manufacturer.
• We invent clever and functional materials that
  solve every day but also manufacturing problems.
• The products of NanoPhos are based on
  nanoparticles which exhibit unique activity,
  combining desirable properties of both molecules
  and bulk solids.

NanoPhos is experienced in hydrophobic materials
SurfaPore NanoTech driven, total protection
against Water, moisture and mould
Powerful formulations for industrial or consumer
use, that create an invincible barrier against
water, moisture and stains. SurfaPore is suitable
for cement surfaces, grout, stucco, natural or
artificial stones, any clay based surfaces such
as roof tiles, cotto and pottery, porcelain,
marble, granite and wooden surfaces.

SurfaPore
SurfaPore formulations shield surfaces
against water penetration, whilst they enable
respiration phenomena and moisture removal. The
surfaces retain strength and original appearance.

NanoPhos is also experienced in IR Reftective
materials
Triple Action Mode

• Heat Transfer Resistance
• 2) Thermal Radiation Reflectance
• 3) Waterproofing

6
SurfaPore ThermoDry

• Water Exclusion
• Thermal Protection
• Anti-Condensation

SurfaPore ThermoDry blocks humidity and
contains special heat transfer blocking ceramic
particles Dual action Heat is blocked and this
property lasts longer due to humidity absence.

In particular NanoPhos

• Will provide to NTUA
• Knowledge on waterproof and reflective coatings
• Information about the tests for IR solar
  reflectance and coefficient of thermal
  conductivity of the top coating
• Information about the tests of hydrophobicity of
  the coatings

9
Our suggestion to NTUA is to develop

• Primer coating (silanes might be a solution)
• Coefficient of water absorption due to capillary
  action C 0,07 g/(m2min0,5)
• test EN 1015-182002
• Top coating (i.e. silica)
• Reflectance gt 90 IR-range
• Thermal conductivity coefficient
• ? 0,15 W/(mK), test EN 12667
