anex is a young, but innovating company with headquarters in Maldegem.

We are specialized in the development and production of protec-tive coatings based on nano technology. Therefore, we collabora-te with specialists within our organisation, but also with develo-pers and companies within this industry worldwide.

Our products are composed in the most ecofriendly manner and are well known for their superior quality and unique properties. Going from making a surface water and oil repellent to the appli-cation of anti-scratch layers or self cleaning components, which significantly reduce the maintenance needed afterwards.

We strongly believe that our passion and the possibility of using nano technology within the chemical industry is rapidly changing, resulting in a range of brand-new products which offer a greater added value to the end users.

Clean & Coat Product LineClean & Coat is Nanex Company’s nano-cleaner product line developed for

use on any non-porous surface, cleaning and protecting glass, metals, and

painted surfaces. Treatment with the Clean & Coat nano-cleaner formulas

provides cleaner surfaces lasting 300% longer than regular cleaners, as well

as advanced scratch protection, and hydrophobic abilities.

Nanex’s Clean & Coat formulas contain nano polymers that penetrate

microscopic fissures and fill surface imperfections creating an ultra-smooth

finish that prevents fat, dirt, and lime scale from sticking.

The Clean & Coat formulas are an ideal solution for the maintenance and

upkeep of any glossy surface from household appliances and glass, to

automotive and marine applications.

Always Dry Product Line Always Dry is Nanex’s super-hydrophobic product line developed for use on any absorbent

surface, including textiles, leathers, wood, or stone.

Through the use of Nano polymers Always Dry is able to bond with any absorbent material

on a molecular level and create an ultra-thin layer causing a super-hydrophobic effect where

fluid beads and rolls off the surface .

The advantages of our method are that the material maintains its full breathability and while

the beading effect wears off over the same period of time as other formulas, Always Dry

continues to protect below the surface.

The Always Dry formulas are available in water based, and solvent based formulas for textiles

and leathers of any kind. Our third Always Dry formula is reinforced with nano-scale additives for

the prevention of growth of micro-organisms (green) on the surface of outdoor wood and stone.

Textiles & Leathers SolventOften referred to by its retail name, Always Dry textile and leather is Nanex

Company’s solvent based super-hydrophobic formula developed with

a focus on ease of use and the end consumer. Solvents allow for a wide

range of application methods, and labour-free drying processes that provide

convenience levels necessary to the average consumer.

In the past many solvents have garnered a negative reputation for being

environmentally harmful or toxic. Always Dry, however, utilizes alkane

isoparaffins, a mixture of hydrocarbons (mineral oils), as the formula’s solvent

base. This maintains the formula’s eco-friendly status.

Always Dry Textile and Leather formula is highly sensitive to laundry and other

detergents. We recommend to wash items treated with this formula only with

warm water without detergents.

IDEAL APPLICATIONS All textiles / all leathers / suede / (shoes, bags, outdoor & travel, sports.) AVERAGE COVERAGE PER LI-TRE Textiles 6-8m2 / Suede 10-15m2 / Leather 15-20m2 SHELF LIFE 2 years from day of order DURABILITY 18 months – 2 years APPLICATION METHOD Uniform spraying or dipping systems in order to apply the product evenly to the surface. (HVLP-sprayers, aerosols, HDPE trigger sprayers, industrial spra-ysystems.) Can be air or heat dried

Water Based for TextilesFor use with textiles only, a less general purpose formula can be ideal as

textiles are extremely absorbent. This allows a strictly water based formula to

be utilized, as plush materials such as sofas and carpeting will absorb all of the

water along with the coating attached, providing deep penetrating protection.

This formula is strongly recommended for textiles/fabrics which are frequently

washed or exposed to chemical cleaners.

Nanex’s water based super-hydrophobic formula is generally recommended

as a product to be distributed through business channels to the service

industry where cleaning services or the protection of linens and furniture are of

the utmost importance.

IDEAL APPLICATIONS Sofas and other furniture textiles / Linens / Carpeting and area rugs AVERAGE COVERAGE PER LI-TRE 5 – 8 m2 per litre recommended SHELF LIFE 2 years from day of order DURABILITY The textile coating with applica-tion of heat can give protection for up to 4 years and can withhold 10 – 20 washes APPLICATION METHOD Spray directly on the surface or apply by dipping. 24 hours to dry / use heat to de-crease drying times and get bet-ter results (normal ironing is ap-propriate also.)

Wood & Stone Solvent Nanex’s wood and stone super-hydrophobic formula

is a water- and oil repellent impregnation product.

As a solvent based micro emulsion of fluorpolymers

with emulsion stabilizers, it is uniquely designed for

wood and porous natural stones such as limestone,

sandstone, terrazzo, and more.

The wood and stone formula contains additional

nano-scale additives with anti-algae, anti-fungi, anti-

bacteria and UV-blocking properties which do not

dissolve in water. This gives a long term protection

against the formation of water sensitive bacteria,

mould and algae in outdoor environments.

IDEAL APPLICATIONS Exterior & interior wood and stone surfaces / Wooden patio furniture / Pool side wood and stone AVERAGE COVERAGE PER LITRE 8 – 14 m2 per litre depending on the absorbency of the substrate SHELF LIFE 2 years from day of order DURABILITY 2-3 years protection before de-crease in intensity and reapplica-tion is recommended. APPLICATION METHOD Directly apply with a brush, or with a spray system ( gardener pump sprayer appropriate ) No HVLP – sprayer is needed for applying this product Drying time requires 24 hours

Stone cleaner & sealerAD for stones is a specialised water based coating

that when applied removes all the green and dirt from

the surface, it develops a Nano layer that is water

repellent and prevents from algea or green to form

again for up to 2 – 3 years !

Self-cleaning effect:

This product contains unique Nano particles that by

combination of photo catalyse and the environment

will result in a chemical reaction that breaks down dirt

and green and keeps the surface clean.

This self-cleaning effects is on-going up to 2 – 3 years

and will keep the surface as new !

IDEAL APPLICATIONS Outside stone structures best use on porous and unpolished natural stones.Can also be used on outside wood surfaces but solvent based product is more recommended.Patios, concrete, driveways, roads …AVERAGE COVERAGE PER LITRE: 7,5 to 10m2 coverage / liter depending on the absorbance off the surface and how much dirt/green is present.DURABILITY Up to 3 years depending on the environment.APPLICATION METHOD Pump sprayer, back sprayer, other spray systems Additional info: shake before using

Concentrated Cleaning AgentThe Clean & Coat concentrated cleaning agent is a nano-cleaner with an

active protection layer. This cleaner can be used on all non-porous and

smooth surfaces.

The concentrated cleaning agent formula contains a Nanopolymer with

water and dirt repellent, anti-static properties and cleans with a deep shine.

Once treated surfaces can be cleaned using no more than a damp cloth or

water. This significantly decreases the need for expensive and often abrasive

detergents.

This product reduces the cleaning frequency and cleaning time after

application.

Due to the anti-static and non-sticking properties, less dirt will stick to the

surface. In addition, the Clean & Coat concentrated cleaning agent provides

a limited amount of hydrophobic and oleophobic properties.

Clean & Coat Liquid ShieldClean & Coat, Liquid shield is a nano coating that bonds to

smooth, non-absorbent surfaces and gives long lasting protection

from dirt, oil, and even scratches. Due to the high water repellent

properties, the surface is protected against corrosion and has

self-cleaning activity.

Liquid shield is a water-based formulation, free from silicones

and chemical solvents. The components are safe for humans,

biodegradable and as such form no burden for the environment.

This unique formula is the peak example of commercialized

nano-coatings, providing advanced results with little hands-on

effort, and zero risk.
