PIKATEC Home
Nano treatment protecting indoor surfaces
Even perfectly smooth surfaces look like mountainous terrain under the microscope.
Dirt deposited in the ‘valleys’ stimulates fungi and bacteria to flourish.
Levelling with PIKATEC Home nano treatment protects the surfaces.
Surfaces that appear perfectly smooth, like glass, look like a mountainous terrain under the microscope. Dirt deposited in the ‘valleys’ stimulates fungi and bacteria to flourish. And on the opposite end, the fragile peaks are prone to damage. All this can be prevented by levelling with the PIKATEC Home nano treatment.
Nanoparticles of silicon and zircon in protective varnish are 7 to 8 times harder than steel. They improve the hardness of the treated surface, while maintaining the original flexibility. The protective layer thus easily adapts to any material and increases its resistance multifold. Thermal resistance up to 900 °C.
The surface tension generated by the negative charge of nanoparticles repels dust, dirt, oil and other liquids. A special compound of highly adhesive resin and nanoparticles ensures resistance to different chemicals, including acids. The varnishes contain UV filters preventing degradation of the treated items.
Seemingly a perfectly smooth surface.
PIKATEC Car
Nano treatment protecting automobile surfaces
No matter how smooth the windshield surface may appear, its structure is actually pretty coarse. And depositing in its recesses are dirt, chemicals and grease that are rather difficult to remove. If the surface is levelled out, the dirt has nowhere to deposit, the car is a lot less prone to getting dirty and its maintenance a lot easier.
The mix of a unique resin, special additives, and nanoparticles of oxides of silicium, zircon, and titanium create an invisible shield on the surface defending it against damage and dirt. It protects the body paint coat, the wheels, the windows, and the interior of the vehicle.
The hard ceramic PIKATEC Car coating is resistant to temperatures
The varnish adds high shine and depth to the paint coat and being hard, it also protects the paint finish from scratches, salts, asphalt, pollen, tree resin, insects, and bird excrements. Sealing also protects the surface from ageing and fading as the nano layer acts as a barrier against UV radiation.

Upon contact with body liquids, the structure of chitosan fibres turns into a gel and creates moist environment. The extremely soft and smooth layer also prevents external microbial contamination ofthewound.
The line of products includes patches with the backing made of textile, polyethylene or water resistant polyurethane. Patch dimensions: 19 x 72 mm, 38 x 72 mm, 29 x 56 mm. All versions have been dermatologically tested and are suitableforsensitiveskin.
SpurTex® V100 FFP2 NR
Nanofiber respirator with 98.5 %
capturing efficiency
The SpurTex® V100 FFP2 NR respirator without an exhalation valve features a nanofiber filter making it suitable for everyone who needs a higher level of antivirus protection than a common face mask can offer (healthcare personnel, people suffering from chronical diseases, allergies, or asthma, oncological patients, and highrisk groups).
While common FFP2 respirators should capture 94% of particles of 360 nm in size according to the European standard EN 149, SpurTex® V100 FFP2 NR captures 98.5% of such particles. A test report by Nelson Labs USA has been obtained for the SpurTex® nanofiber respirator, confirming 99.9% efficiency in capturing viruses and bacteria.
The respirator captures particles mechanically thanks to the nanofiber membrane, unlike common respirators which use electrostatic charge – and lose the ability to capture ultrafine particles over time due to air humidity.
The shelf life of the respirator is 5 years, making it suitable for long-term storage.
