1. Does SurfaPore™ alter the appearance of my surface?

The final product cannot be distinguished from an unmodified product; there are no effects on the mechanical, optical or thermal properties of the underlying surface. The modified surfaces retain their original ability to "breathe".

2. Are SurfaPore™ formulations safe?

SurfaPore formulations are perfectly safe! Compared to commonly available products that use hazardous and toxic solvents, SurfaPore active ingredients are suspended in deionized water. Even though the active ingredients may be abundant in the environment, it is nanotechnology that shapes molecules to become functional for your benefit! These formulations respect both the customer and environment.

3. Do SurfaPore™ formulations work permanently?

SurfaPore treated surfaces do not need maintenance or any other intervention. They are resistant to chemical attacks (ISO EN 10545-13) and stains (ISO EN 10545-14). SurfaPore treated surfaces have been thoroughly and successfully tested under accelerated ageing, salt, acid rain and ultraviolet radiation.

4. How can I place SurfaPore™ formulations on my surfaces?

SurfaPore products are water-based formulations that are easily applied on existing surfaces by spraying or simple brushing! No heating, treating or other labour intensive processes are required.
SurfaPore formulations are transparent or milky-white, chemically inert and perfectly occlude pores.
Average application: 8m² per litre.

5. Does it contain pharmaceuticals or harmful reagents?

SurfaPore formulations do not contain any harmful reagents to deal with mould and mildew and are totally water based. They actively repel water and therefore do not create a favourable environment for fungi and microorganisms, starving them of their most essential nutrient: water!
