4. Offensive Graffiti, destroying appeal?

5. Oxidizing metal surfaces, looking old and uncared for?

6. High maintenance expenses and spiralling cleaning costs?

7. Generally dull and tired-looking surfaces?

Halo Surfaces is the cutting edge answer to all these problems and to deliver you even more value, the answers Halo provides for you are incredibly cost-effective with all of our products being simple and easy to apply, saving you time, money and effort.

HALO SURFACES INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

Halo’s 21st Century Matrix-Nano™ nanotechnology coatings and sealers have been developed in the United States. Halo Surfaces supplies markets in Europe, USA, Canada, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and the Pacific through its hubs in UK, USA and Australasia.

Halo’s coatings and sealers are unlike any other available in the marketplace, and are designed to deliver you superior performance. They are nano-based coatings and sealers which are manufactured using a controlled chemical reaction in a reactor. This process forms covalent molecular bonds (the strongest of all chemical bonds) between the nano composites and polymer molecules and becomes an integrated lattice nano-matrix.

What Coating is right for my job? That will depend on a number of things.

1. What is the substrate?

2. Do you need a non-breathable coating or a breathable sealer?

3. Do you want a shiny or gloss surface or do you need the protection to be virtually invisible?

4. Is it a high-traffic area?

5. Do you need to provide a anti-slip solution?

6. Do you need to protect against graffiti?

7. Is the substrate interior or exterior?

Rest assured the correct Halo Surfaces product WILL deliver you the solution you need.

Halo Metal Coat

At Iconic Eden Park in Auckland, New Zealand, the stainless steel on its new stadium had begun to rust. Halo Metal Coat shown here in “before and after” mode now protects the stadium steel from further damage.

There is a product from Halo Surfaces to protect almost every substrate in almost

every circumstance.

Halo Concrete Art Deco Centre - Anti-Slip and Enhancer Plus

This beautiful mosaic floor was a real trap. It looked wonderful but people slipped on it, and it was very dangerous. Halo’s Anti-slip over Enhancer Plus as a primer, provided the answer. The floor is now enhanced, beautiful and safe.

The Science:

Halo coatings are manufactured using a controlled chemical reaction in a reactor. This process forms covalent molecular bonds (the strongest of all chemical bonds) between the nano composites and polymer molecules and becomes an integrated lattice nano-matrix.

Conventional polymer coatings, especially those with high performance properties MIX organic polymers with inorganic additives in an attempt to leverage the desirable properties of each. They can be MIXED but they don’t really like each other and don’t “play well together”.

Most conventional industrial coatings are based on synthetic polymers with extremely large organic molecules. Polymers provide adhesion, chemical resistance and flexibility. They are also susceptible to damage and degradation by exposure to sunlight. Energetic solar degradation creates ‘free radicals’ dangling electrons that can tear apart large organic molecules and change their chemical properties, usually in undesirable ways.

An example of this process is how energetic solar radiation can create free radicals in skin cells, modify the large organic molecules in our cells, namely the DNA, and cause skin cancer.

As radiation-induced degradation occurs, the ability of a conventional coating to provide chemical an corrosion protection also degrades. This can cause whitening of the coating and de-lamination. To compensate, conventional polymer coatings will often contain a small percentage of inorganic material.

They have a far larger proportion of inorganic oxides and our innovative process combines the best properties of those inorganic oxides (think of the properties of rock and glass) - their lattice structure provides strength, hardness, durability and UV resistance. After all, rock and glass are not much affected by solar radiation and have to suffer a significant impact before they break.

Halo Concrete Function Centre

This function centre has a tiled floor which gets very dirty from people dancing on it and generally having a good time. It was difficult and time consuming, and therefore expensive, to clean. Halo’s Concrete was applied and the floor is now beautiful and easy to clean.

Halo Concrete - Halo Concrete with Enhancer Plus on floor - Halo Wood on doors - Halo Metal on Metalier-rust feature wall - Office for Consulting Engineers

This fit-out was a showcase for Halo coatings and the rust finishes created by its sister company, Metalier. The floor was damaged by the builders dragging partitions along it. The Halo Concrete coat was able to be easily repaired and no long-term harm was done.



That inorganic lattice structure can allow brittle fractures along the lattice planes. Rocks, when they break tend to fracture along lattice lines. So the addition of organic polymer components in Halo coatings provide elasticity, tensile strength, chemical resistance and adhesion.

But unlike conventional polymer coatings, Halo coatings are not simply mixed blends of inorganic and organic components. Our unique process reorganizes the organic polymer chains and chemically bonds them within the inorganic lattice structure. A completely integrated lattice matrix results and retains the best properties of each while eliminating virtually all of her less desirable properties of the components taken individually.

And all this takes place at a nanotechnology level. Hence our name for the science - Matrix-Nano™.

Matrix-Nano™ nanotechnology allows Halo coatings to have the following properties:

1. Be durable

2. Have excellent adhesion - bonding and cross-linking to the substrate

3. Be easy and convenient to apply

4. Be environmentally sensitive

To expand...

1. Durability

• The high ration of inorganic to organic components results in an extremely hard surface.

• Using a classic measurement of material hardness, such as Ridgeway’s extension of the Mohs scale, a conventional polymer coating will have a hardness of 4 whereas Halo coatings range from 7-8.

• Halo coatings resist methylene chloride solutions such as commercial paint thinners

2. Adhesion

• Halo coatings are thin and allow more surface contact between the substrate and the inorganic polymers embedded in the matrix

• High cross-link density within the material itself improves corrosion and chemical resistance. High cross-link density from the coating material to the substrate improves adhesion and bonding

Halo Multi-surface Sealer Academic College

This test conducted by an Academic College shows the effectiveness of Halo’s Multi-surface sealer. An exposed area of aggregate was getting dirty quickly from the effects of the weather. The College cleaned a triangle of aggregate in the middle of the picture and Halo Multi-surface sealer was applied to the left hand triangle. In the foreground and background of the picture is un-cleaned un-treated aggregate. On the right is the cleaned aggregate one month later. On the left is Halo’s Multi-surface Sealer showing no signs of dirt or grime.

Halo Enhancer Plus Office Floor

The designer of this fit-out wanted an enhanced look for the concrete floor that was not a coating. Enhancer Plus was chosen for its good looks, its cost-effectiveness and its speed of application....



3. Ease & Convenience

• Most conventional polymers need to be combined with a catalyst to cure. So any excess mixed is wasted.

• Halo coatings harden by air-drying

• Second or multiple coats can be applied within minutes

• Curing time is shorter than conventional coatings

4. Environmentally Sensitive

• Halo coatings contain less VOC s than the regulation minimum requirements set by California South Coast Air Quality Control Authority - the strictest in the USA.

• Halo coatings contain no harmful isocyanate hardening agents. They literally harden and cure with oxygen and the moisture in the air.

This is what gives them superior performance and longevity. Halo Coatings extend the life of equipment, machinery, buildings and objects – they protect, preserve and enhance your assets.

Halo Concrete - Design by Spaceworks Design Group

...The fit-out had run over budget and over time. Halo’s Enhancer Plus dries in less than 5 minutes and 100 sq m can be covered in an hour. This floor was sealed at the very last moment. Halo’s water-based Enhancer Blue will achieve the same result but it takes 15 minutes to dry. It is a good green choice if you can wait the 15 minutes!
