It comes standard with all black NeroX bathtubs and basins manufactured starting late October 2019. Application to white AquateX is optional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is it?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe easiest way is to understand NanoGuard™ is to think of it as a second layer of skin, or a sacrificial layer of protection over your bathtub's surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNanoGuard™ utilizes nanotechnology and tiny particles that form a very fine, thin layer completely invisible to the eye. Because these particles are so small, when applied to a surface, they seal all the surface pores making the surface hydrophobic (water-repellent), resistant to UV, minor scratches, harsh chemicals, and anti-graffiti. NanoGuard™ is completely transparent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow Does It Work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe nanocoating chemically bonds with AquateX™ or NeroX™ bath and basin surfaces in the process creating a semi-permanent bond and a layer of ‘sacrificial’ protection that will not wash away or break down and does not require repeated application every few months. In fact, it lasts years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNanoGuard™ helps with keeping our baths and basins looking like-new with comparatively minimal maintenance. The coating achieves this by making our solid surface bathtubs and basins more resilient and easier to clean. Here are the main benefits:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEase Of Cleaning\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the single most significant feature of NanoGuard™ and it is absolutely crucial for a good everyday performance and durability of black or any other deep dark color solid surface bathtubs and lavatories, especially if used in commercial applications. Because the nanocoating is superhydrophobic or simply speaking water repellent when a bathtub or a lavatory has our hydrophobic NanoGuard™ surface, water will bead on the surface and slide off easily. This means that bath salts, soap, oily fingerprints, and bath oils will have a more difficult time bonding to your bathtub's surface, and when you clean your bathtub or basin, contaminants can be removed with substantially less effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuperb Outdoor Performance and Protection From Prolonged UV Damage \u0026amp; Oxidization\u003cbr\u003eIf your bathtub and especially your black bathtub is often exposed to the sunlight or used outdoors on a terrace, its surface might begin to oxidize, resulting in a dulled and faded surface. Deep dark colors are especially susceptible to dulling. NanoGuard™ will protect your bathtub’s surface from the sun’s ultraviolet rays, thereby reducing the amount of oxidization and preserves its original appearance for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProtection From Chemical Stains, Etching \u0026amp; Anti-Graffiti\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother danger to your bathtub surface is chemical staining from red wine, household chemicals, cleaners, paints, acetone, and other harsh substances. By creating a chemically resistant ceramic-like protective layer NanoGuard™ offers superior protection from damaging surface contamination and harsh chemicals. Both the superhydrophobic and anti-graffiti effect combined mean that bathtubs coated with NanoGuard™ will be substantially more resistant to anti-graffiti, staining, and etching, provided the contaminant is removed in a timely manner. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImproved Gloss Surface for Aquatica LuX Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you like the look and feel of glossy bathtubs and basins and are considering our optional LuX finish, you will definitely want to add our NanoGuard™ as it enhances the reflective properties of your glossy surfaces, adding to the depth of its standard gloss. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aquatica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50608486088989,"sku":"I02469","price":290.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/5097\/9869\/files\/Nanoguard_35fd2a1c-4113-4777-b1a5-29274b52d008.jpg?v=1768497727","url":"https:\/\/aquaticausa.com\/products\/nanoguard-finish-modificator-for-aquatex-tubs","provider":"Aquatica Baths USA - Premium Bathtubs ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
