JUST IN: Water Repelling Hydrophobic Sand Thanks to Nano Coatings Technology

21st February 2012

We have coated grains of sand in our nano coatings products!

The characteristics of our nano coatings and their ability to repel water are clearly demonstrated by the pictures below.

Normal sand, quartz sand was mixed with nano-minerals to demonstrate what is possible with nanotechnology. Just think of the possibilities: sand bags which will actually stop water and can thus be used during flooding, dam breaks and the like for flood protection purposes! 

If you’d like to find out more about our nano coatings, have a look around our website or get in touch to talk to one of our nanoShell Representatives!
