New silicone spray could revolutionise window cleaning
30/11/2011
Manufacturer Ross Nanotechnology has created the NeverWet spray, which repels oil and water, making it ideal for keeping panes of glass squeaky clean.
Window cleaning could be made so much easier, as any dirt that attaches itself to the glass would become so slippery it would wash off the next time it rained.
The substance could even be used in household cleaning products and in hospitals in the future, after tests showed it prevented germs from attaching themselves to bedpans.
"It is very novel and when you start thinking about it, you can think about how transformative the technology can be. You can use it everywhere," researcher Andy Jones recently told Pennsylvania-based news provider Lancaster Online.
Scientists have also tested the spray on electrical gadgets such as smartphones and it was found to protect devices when they come into contact with water.
Window cleaning professionals were recently alerted to a new range of products launched in the US, which are environmentally-friendly.
Begley's Earth Responsible Products released the products, which do not use harmful ingredients such as ammonia.
