“Spray-on liquid glass is transparent, non-toxic, and can protect virtually any surface against almost any damage from hazards such as water, UV radiation, dirt, heat, and bacterial infections. The coating is also flexible and breathable, which makes it suitable for use on an enormous array of products.
The liquid glass spray (technically termed “SiO2 ultra-thin layering”) consists of almost pure silicon dioxide (silica, the normal compound in glass) extracted from quartz sand. Water or ethanol is added, depending on the type of surface to be coated. There are no additives, and the nano-scale glass coating bonds to the surface because of the quantum forces involved. According to the manufacturers, liquid glass has a long-lasting antibacterial effect because microbes landing on the surface cannot divide or replicate easily.
The liquid glass spray produces a water-resistant coating only around 100 nanometers (15-30 molecules) thick. On this nanoscale the glass is highly flexible and breathable. The coating is environmentally harmless and non-toxic, and easy to clean using only water or a simple wipe with a damp cloth. It repels bacteria, water and dirt, and resists heat, UV light and even acids.
Food processing companies in Germany have already carried out trials of the spray, and found sterile surfaces that usually needed to be cleaned with strong bleach to keep them sterile needed only a hot water rinse if they were coated with liquid glass. The levels of sterility were higher for the glass-coated surfaces, and the surfaces remained sterile for months.”

Well this should be fun.
Its exciting and scary and I wonder when the news articles about how its used as a weapon will start
this would make a huge difference in hospitals in the battle against mrsa and yet we all know it;ll prove too costly, and will only end up as a waterproof coating for the new range of burberry jackets
In the war on rust my landy will now be saved yay yay yay – will be a big hit with the motor car industry.
rather hyperbolic claimes here. i think the most inneresting part of this article is that turkey seems to be to germany what china & india are to the U.S.!
When do they come up with such a spray for teeth??? A spray on condom that lasts for erm .. till around their 40’s .. (we milk ‘em for sperm on forehand (breeding stuff)).
Never needing to clean again .. hm .. now that .. no, must have misread something .. that’s not possible .. it’s the same as with self cleaning windows … duh .. they dont .. loo’s neither that come with that add …
It’s probably gonna be used as a new strong coating for lots of stuff if it is that good. Banging on it with a hammer .. that probably wont work huh … it wont swing back in your face (that’s the gummi layer with special nano forces (you only need an enormous small impact on its surface and it swings back with a reversed G-force… ).
Another brilliant invention that will take its place in the government’s pile of ‘doesn’t earn us enough money’ rejects, along with algae based fuels and those LED light bulbs that last six years.
