Internationally Acclaimed Nano-coatings by NanoPhos Arrives
Attica, Greece | Posted on December 6th, 2010
The new powerhouse in practical nanotechnology, NanoPhos SA, recently earned two internationally prestigious awards
in the building industry at the Shanghai World Expo 2010 and the International Building and Construction Show BIG5
in Dubai. NanoPhos is quickly becoming the "go to" company for renowned architects and builders around the globe for
its pioneering nanotechnologies that protect structural and aesthetic surfaces. With such prestigious applications as the
Acropolis Museum and the Copenhagen Music Hall, among many others, it is no wonder they already have distribution
in 20 countries, including New Zealand.
NanoPhos' SurfaPore ThermoDry is a revolutionary paint additive that turns ordinary acrylic paint into a thermal
barrier. SurfaPore ThermoDry was chosen as the standard thermal coating for the Shanghai World Expo 2010 Zero
Energy Development (ZED) Pavilion. The ZED Pavilion showcases a holistic approach to urban sustainability,
highlighting a range of key strategies, technologies and components that are key to meeting our global commitments
to a low carbon future.

Pioneering Paint Additive Makes Everyday Paint a Thermal Barrier
SurfaPore ThermoDry is an innovative paint additive that transforms common water based acrylic paint into a
waterproof thermal insulator. This revolutionary technology reflects over 90% of the infrared spectrum and significantly
decreases thermal conductivity. Further, it prevents water condensation and the development of mould on walls. The
effectiveness of the product has been validated by a number of international research labs, as has been successfully
applied to military vehicles, commercial roofing and manufacturing plants where energy efficiency and thermal
management are paramount.
Self-Cleaning, Antimicrobial Coatings Make the World a Safer Place
Microwave Journal
The revolutionary nanotechnology behind SurfaShield C transforms porous surfaces like painted walls and cement into
self-cleaning and self-sterilizing surfaces. This safe and easy to apply water based nanoparticle emulsion is activated
by ambient light so it perpetually cleans and steralises treated surfaces. Pollutants and bacteria are effectively
eliminated without dangerous chemicals. The result is a safer environment without large quantities of environmentally
unfriendly chemicals.

About NanoPhos
NanoPhos SA is a European nanotechnology company that develops products that waterproof and protect common
surfaces from moisture, heat and environmental stress. In January of 2008, Bill Gates recognized NanoPhos as one of
the most innovative companies. The company also received 1st prize for innovation at the prestigious 100% Detail
Show in London in September of 2008. With a simple application, SurfaPore products waterproof and protect common
surfaces such as cement, stones, roof tiles, marble or granite without changing their natural look. SurfaPore
nanoparticles “coat” the pores of surfaces and protect them from deterioration due to humidity, mould and bacteria,
and shield surfaces such as marbles, tiles and granites from staining. SurfaPore products are low VOC, safe, water
based and do not contain any hazardous solvents.
The effectiveness and ease of use of the company’s solutions have been rapidly recognized worldwide and products can
be found in more than 20 countries including the United Kingdom, Italy, Norway, Japan, China, New Zealand, Greece,
