Explosive Profits With Nanovations NG1010






Nanovations Pty Ltd is a manufacturer of innovative product solutions.  It was founded by a group of  entrepreneurs in early 2000 and became one of the pioneers in commercializing Nanotechnology and advanced products in Australia. They claim they were the first company in Australia manufacturing and implementing Nano-scale glass coating technology. The first large scale building applications were done in 2004.  Again it is claimed that these coatings still work well and have never required a reapplication for the last ten years.

In 2006, the research in ultrathin coatings and the manufacturing of such was combined under the new brand Nanovations. The first high rise building in the world was coated shortly after, in Sydney, Australia.
In 2012 Nanovations introduced the next generation of automotive windscreen treatment which offers advantages over competing products, with better performance and functionality on today’s markets.  This product is formulated with an inorganic sol-gel technology.  They are currently exporting more than 95% of their products to more than 40 countries.
Again Nanovations Pty Ltd claims they are the only manufacturer of inorganic Nano scale glass coating technology in Australia. Nanovations has expanded into the USA through Nanovations USA located in Florida.  The contact information for this company is listed at the bottom of this post.  Click on this next vimeo link for the very latest video of Marc Tanner applying the NG1010 to a window.

Consider this interesting piece of information.  The  SOCAR TOWER in Baku, Azerbaijan (check out the picture below)  was designed by the world leader in design, production, and installation of architectural envelopes and curtain walls, the Permasteelisa Group. Here is the link to their company.

Further, Nanovations NG 1010 was chosen after extensive evaluation by glass laboratories in Europe, which indicated superior performance of this technology.  When you’re spending 200 plus million on a structure with a glass façade, properly treating the glass surface is vital.  None of us would deny that!  Incidentally, the Permasteelisa Group was the engineering firm responsible for the curtain wall of the new APPLE Campus in California.  Both the SOCAR Tower and the Apple Campus would be of interest to all window cleaning companies.
When looking at the Nanovations coating technology the engineers likely were looking at ease of application, cost, stain resistance, coverage rates, scratch resistance, coating hardness, abrasion resistance, UV resistance (longevity), nanoscale thickness, and how easy it is to clean/maintain.   But.  You be the judge.  Just call them up and ask for a sample.  Then apply it to one of your accounts.  Show your customer what it will do.  I will be developing a line of very short videos demonstrating products like this.  These videos will come in handy when you want to pull out your phone and show a potential customer real fast what your company can offer.  They will help you make sales and dramatically increase your profit.  The Nanovations coatings such as their NG 1010 can explode your profits.  If you just simply get involved! Be a beta tester and tell other people through the social media we have available.  The WCR Forum and all the Facebook Groups.

A Dynamic New Way to Market Your Business !!!

If you would like to receive these posts directly in your inbox just type your address in the box at the top right, "Follow by Email".  You need to get this information as soon as it is available because it will change the way you do business and instantly increase your profits that day you receive it.  If of course you put it into practice.  When you do put it into practice you will have learned "A Dynamic New Way to Market Your Business".

The running theme title I have for the American Window Cleaner is "From the Lab to the Field".  The focus of this theme is the scientific study and application of information gained in the lab to field activities.  A case in point would be the study of how water and temperature affects the molecular species of soda lime glass surfaces.  Also how this chemical change affects how easily glass surfaces can become scratched.  It also affects how easily point indent fractures develop.  I call these PIFs.  Every scratch begins with a PIF.  To apply this to the field we need to look at the conditions of humidity in the field.  Windows in a very hot wet environment can easily become prone to scratches.  Also scratched glass can crack.  So the structural integrity of windows can be seriously flawed if for no other reason just because of the condition of the surface!  That is REALLY big news.  This IS application.  Although it still IS quite boring to most people!  Are you dumbfounded and surprised that I just said that?  Well the simple truth is that it is.  And to further prove it what do you think you will get if you were to show people the illustrations depicted here?

Now to turn this around we need to first look at the conditions in the field.  From the field to the lab so to speak.  I remember one case where I was shown a foggy appearance at the bottom edge of the outside of several windows on a house.  It could not be wiped off but was permanent.  The woman also said that all of the windows would fog up in the early morning.  This could be wiped off.  It was condensation.  This woman obviously had too much time on her hands.  All she did all day was look out the windows.  But nonetheless I still had to figure it out because I was being paid to do that.  The key to figuring it out was that the windows were "acid washed" with hydrofluoric acid.  To prove that the acid caused the effect I needed to make application "in the lab".  Of course I didn't have a lab.  But I did have a kitchen loaded with about 2500 chemicals and abrasives.  Also I could buy a brand new sheet of glass and expose it to HF in different ways.  In short I had to find out if I could duplicate the conditions I found in the field, but in the "lab".  Which I could and did do.  This was the first time that I learned how HF will change the surface of glass in such a way as to make it very hydrophylic, and actually attract condensation.  It happens almost instantly.  This is why some window cleaners using water fed poles will first apply a product based on a glass etchant, then apply a pure water rinse immediately after.  It makes the glass hydrophylic so that the rinse water drains off much better without leaving any spots.  It was also the first time I was able to duplicate a stage one and two static etch.  In other words a "vapor etch" where the acid rises as a vapor reacting with the glass and leaving the reaction byproducts on the surface as a white haze.  So you guys who have have been talking about how HF reacts with the tin side of glass, should at least consider that your individual case study might not be the result of this phenom. But didn't I say at the beginning of this paragraph that we were going to turns things around?  What I meant was when we learn how to do things as we have just discussed we should then show them to our potential customer.  I mean quite bluntly we need to stick them in their face.  That means we must etch a plate of glass right in front of them.  We need to show them how we can "scratch proof" a mirror.  We need to show them how the wrong solvents will break a piece of plexi in two in only thirty seconds.  These kind of demos are great for contractors who care about this stuff.  And when you do these things, watch their face.  When you see the smile you will have accomplished your purpose.  This works even when you are just cleaning glass.  Never leave a potential customer without cleaning their most dirty window in and out. Then watch for the reaction.  If they like what they see, you stand a much better chance of getting the job.  

Friends I don't have an atomic force microscope, or a scanning electron microscope.  I don't even have a high power light microscope.  I am definitely NOT a chemist.  Just one very crazy but curious old window cleaner who has learned to look at problems in a different way.  Knowledge of the devices used for testing and monitoring relative humidity, or determining the coefficient of friction are fantastic.  They have given us a great deal of insight.  I will forever applaud the IWCA Glass Committee for their research with Penn State.  But we need to make application of this knowledge in the field for it to change our businesses and change our lives.  To do this we absolutely must demonstrate what we know.  And by doing this, only then will we have learned a dynamic new way to market our business.  Come go with me friends.

WindOCoat Protection against Scratches

Imagine a product that can be applied to windows BEFORE the construction begins.  The glass is first cleaned, then the liquid product is brushed, rolled, or sprayed on.  In a short time it dries to a film.  Now concrete, silicone caulk, stucco, paint, stain, etc. can get on the window.  When it comes time to clean the window all you simply do is peal off the film in one sheet taking with it all construction debris.  The window is now totally clean.  No need to reclean it because it is clean.  Well this product already exists.  And it is called WindOCoat.

Selling the ECloth to your Customers

Micro-Fiber Cloths are made from a blend of 100% polyester or polyester and polyamide (nylon).  The highest quality products are woven.  The very highest quality fabrics used for cleaning have a split fiber as depicted here.  It is split during manufacturing resulting in multi-stranded fibers. The split fibers actually grab the dirt and absorb liquids. There is no lint left behind like what happens with paper towels.  Again the split fiber is critical to the efficacy of the product.  Those micro-fiber products that do not have split fibers might be very inexpensive but they will not be anywhere near as effective. 




Most manufacturers will not mention that their product uses a split fiber.  To know whether it is or not just run it across the bottom of your hand.  If it is a high quality product it will catch your skin.  Another way is to wet a surface with a little puddle of water and try to push it with the cloth.  If it is micro-fiber the water will be absorbed.  If not you will simply move the water.

How the E-Cloth Works This is a video link


This is another video      


The ECloth Micro-Fiber is a high quality product with a dual polymer split fiber for cleaning glass.  It uses both polyester and polyamide.  Imagine micro-fiber on steroids.  Very smooth so as to maintain total flatness. This is necessary for glass.  Not so much other surfaces.  The glass cleaning cloth is a killer for mirrors and car glass.  I think it even sucks up water better than cotton towels.  Also for inside WFP work it should be a wonder product.  But you will want to buy one to try it out.  Just click on the link here in this post.  The company has an entire range of different products that can be used on other surfaces. You can purchase the glass cleaning cloths in bulk at a reduced cost and actually make a profit off your advertising.  Just load them in ziplock bags.  Then put your business contact info on the outside.  The contact link is  ECloth for Glass Cleaning Always remember your customers have customers.  And your customers will talk.  This is a great product for storefront accounts.  They will be able to use it to touch up their front doors, cooler doors, display cases, glass countertops, mirrors, and anything else made of glass.  The ziplock bag will be your business card that will be on display to everyone that uses the ECloth.  Whether it be a commercial account or a residential customer.  As for the product you should resell it since it will actually save your customers money.  They won't have to buy any more window cleaner.  It is totally green.  And will help to keep the glass perfectly streak free in between your visits.
