Advanced wood coating technology for Western Red Cedar from Nanovations

Nanovations Pty Ltd supplier and developer of advanced technology product solutions, was successfully finished the first project in Sydney where a Nanotechnology enhanced wood coating has been used on Western Red Cedar. Additionally a landmark building has been treated in Europe / Austria.

Nanovations products are quality high tech wood coatings which highlight the full decorative potential of external wooden surfaces and structures. Nanovations is utilizing new technology to offer completely clear finishes that create a truly amazing appearance while offering the best possible protection.

To protect a wooden building component against water and UV-radiation are the most important functions of a coating. Only by coating the swelling and shrinking of the wood can be kept within modest limits, and the photo-chemical decomposition of the lignin be prevented. Nanovations Lignol contains the most advanced UV protection and water repellent technology available on the market today.

The use of advanced nanotechnology components made it possible to keep the coatings clear and transparent and extremely thin. Lignol wood care is an impregnating application rather than a thick layer. The product is highly water repellent reducing the shrinkage of the wood and protects the wood from algae and mold. The UV protection and UV absorption guard the wood from graying and oxidation.

Nanovations has done extensive research on wood protection and is offering unique properties not possible before.

For older Cedar surfaces, a special cleaning solution has been developed to clean the surface and restore the original color of Western Red Cedar prior the impregnation.

A new top coat with self cleaning properties for full exposed facades will be available from end of September 2007.

Nanovations Lignol products are one of the most environmentally friendly wood protection systems on the market.

Nanovations is welcoming inquiries from Builders and Architects and owners who are interested to use the latest technology in sustainable building designs.
