Salus NanoSealer is a sol–gel derived nano-engineered surface modification system developed to stabilise exposed infrastructure under environmental and thermal stress.

​

Through controlled nano-scale fusion and surface functionalisation during curing, the technology integrates with the substrate to modify surface energy, contamination interaction, and thermal behaviour — supporting long-term performance stability

​

Technology Platform

Nano Integration & Surface Functionalization​

Salus NanoSealer utilises controlled nano-scale particle integration and surface functionalization during curing to create a stable, substrate-level interface.

​

Through nano-scale fusion, the system:​

• Modifies surface free energy

• Enhances resistance to UV exposure and environmental degradation

• Improves durability under thermal cycling

• Reduces reliance on superficial coating adhesion

 

This results in long-term surface energy stabilisation rather than temporary surface treatment.

​

Photocatalytic & Surface Energy Behaviour

NanoSealer combines photocatalytic activity with engineered surface energy control to maintain long-term environmental stability.

 

Under light activation, the photocatalytic component assists in:​

• Breaking down organic contamination

• Reducing fouling accumulation

• Supporting passive self-cleaning behaviour

​

Through nano-scale surface functionalization, the treated surface exhibits superhydrophobic characteristics that:​

• Promote water beading and runoff

• Reduce contaminant adhesion

• Lower bonding strength of seasonal ice

• Support easier ice shedding under winter exposure

​

By reducing adhesion forces at the nano-scale, NanoSealer® mitigates gradual surface degradation and performance drift. The modification integrates at substrate level and does not add measurable weight or alter structural loading.

​​​​​​​​​​​Thermal Behaviour & Solar Reflectance (NanoSR)

Surface thermal properties directly influence cooling demand, internal temperature stability, and material longevity. The NanoSR configuration enhances solar reflectance and thermal regulation on exposed surfaces.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Independent validation by Intertek Laboratories confirms performance under:

ASTM E1980-11 – Solar Reflectance Index (SRI)

​

NanoSR improves a highly efficient 60 mil white TPO roofing membrane by 12.5% SRI, contributing to measurable thermal efficiency gains.

​

As renewable energy systems increasingly operate within distributed energy architectures and Virtual Power Plants (VPPs), predictable surface behaviour becomes essential for maintaining stable energy yield and reliable operational data.

 

Independent Validation & Performance Testing

NanoSealer® has undergone independent laboratory evaluation and controlled environmental testing to assess long-term surface stability under realistic exposure conditions.

​

Testing protocols include:​

• Accelerated UV weathering (Xenon arc exposure) to simulate prolonged sunlight degradation

• Climate chamber cycling from +90°C to −40°C to evaluate thermal stress resistance

• Chemical resistance testing across multiple media

• Abrasion and wear assessment (Crockmeter testing)

• Repeated wash-cycle simulation to emulate extended operational cleaning exposure

• Surface free energy measurement to quantify adhesion-force modification

​

These evaluations assess durability, environmental resilience, and surface energy stability under cumulative stress conditions representative of long-term infrastructure deployment. Detailed reports and technical documentation are available upon request.

• Surface energy stability under renewable variability

• Ice interaction and winter stress

• UV fluctuation across seasons

• Progressive contamination behaviour

​

Providing real-world validation beyond short-duration testing.

Future-ready compliance & traceability

Future-ready compliance & traceability​

Salus NanoSealer enhances the long-term performance of labeled and coded surfaces by preserving substrate integrity and preventing contamination, yellowing, and visual distortion. This helps maintain the readability and scannability of identifiers such as labels and 2D codes over time, supporting reliable traceability across the product lifecycle. Compatible with standard labeling materials and
application processes, it integrates seamlessly into existing industrial workflows. As part of a performance-preserving surface layer, it enables durable, data-linked physical assets in increasingly digital and regulated environments, including emerging Digital Product Passport (DPP) and Digital Battery Passport (DBP) frameworks.
