Spray On Liquid Glass Is Shattering My Preconceptions Right Now
Posted by Alex_Dunbar on Wednesday, Feb 03, 2010
A German company called Nanopool and group of Turkish inventors have raised the bar for Jetsonesque products with the invention of spray-on liquid glass. You know glass? That amorphous solid super-material used in every industry and household the world over? Well, it’s been radically improved.
“Boo-ring,” you say? Clearly you haven’t considered the wide-range of PK Dickish applications for this technology. Luckily a bunch of European companies have:
“Food processing companies in Germany… a train company and a hotel chain in the UK, a hamburger chain in Germany… a Lancashire hospital using the glass for equipment, medical implants, catheters, sutures, and bandages. The war graves association in the UK is investigating using the spray to treat stone monuments and grave stones, since trials have shown the coating protects against weathering and graffiti. Trials in Turkey are testing the product on monuments such as the Ataturk Mausoleum in Ankara.”
Neil McClelland, project manager for Nanopool’s UK division, claims that soon liquid glass will coat everything. Why? It protects things from water, UV radiation, dirt, heat, and microbial infections. You’d literally never have to clean an object coated in liquid glass. Which is why I’m flying to Germany with everything I own tomorrow.
