What is Nano?
Nano is short for ‘nanotechnology’, although the word itself just means really, really small.
Nanotechnology, or more, accurately nanotechnologies, describe the many ways that scientists can now work with the actual molecules and atoms that make up our world. It’s basically a way of making things.
We measure things in meters and centimeters, but nano scientists work in nanometers, that’s a billionth of a meter. That’s very very VERY small!
Why does small make a difference?
At this nanoscale things don’t always behave as they do when they are larger. They might be stronger or lighter, or, more reactive or because they are so small, they can be used in different ways than in their larger form.
What scientists do with nanotechnologies is take control of these reactions to make new products or processes, from mobile phones to sunscreens, airplanes to medicines.
How small is a nanometer?
In the time it takes to pick a razor up off the basin and raise it to his face, a man's beard will have grown one nanometer.
Nano technology in Paint:
This is the art and science of building a complex paint with atomic precision. Nano paint contains microscopic nano particles (each less than one millionth of a millimetre in size) that are integrated into the molecular structure of the paint. These nano particles change the properties of the paint, cross linking to form a dynamic protective molecular layer.

Advantages of Nano additives and fillers in Paint:
The nano additives and fillers offer enhanced protection against extreme weather conditions.
No harmful ingredients are added as this non-toxic and environmentally friendly product works with nature.
The molecular structure provides an extreme water tight film due to the fact that the voids in the paint film are filled with nano fillers making the film denser and impervious to water.
The particles of nano paint penetrate more effectively into the substrate due to the fact that it has a finer molecular structure than normal paints.
Nano additives and fillers in the paint film ensure better opacity and thus the spread rate of the paint is increased.
Continuous catalytic reaction that decomposes fungi, algae and organic contaminants, and will not deteriorate.
Improved hardness and scrub resistance. Less maintenance. Improved adhesion to new and old substrates.
