I am delighted with the work carried out by Nanotech Marine on my powerboat in such a conscientious caring manner. The boat genuinely now looks better and newer than when I took delivery of her a year ago. Highly recommended.

Nanotech Marine Beats The Credit Crunch With the Aid Of Nanotechnology
Keeping a yacht looking its best has never been easier, with the aid of Smart Surface Nanotechnology that mimic dirt repelling properties found in nature whilst incorporating sophisticated UV filter and corrosion barriers. Regardless of budget shape or size the one thing all yachts have in common is their constant battle against attack from the exceptionally harsh marine environment corrosive effects from salt sea air, pollution, engine exhaust and the constant bombardment of UV and IR radiation from the Sun working hard to transform you beautiful shinning gel coat in to a matt finish with a chalky look. Unfortunately these are constantly on show to the world: sleek exterior surfaces, expensive paint finishes and high gloss GRP.
The burning questions then is how best to minimize these harmful effects on the area's that are most exposed and hence, most vulnerable. It's a brave and perhaps unwise owner who neglects the upkeep of his yacht's surfaces. Those beautiful lines neatly highlighted in liquid gloss finishes at new won't stay that way for long unless a properly thought out program of surface care is implemented- and the sooner the better: As much in life, prevention is dramatically cheaper and many times better than the cure.
Enter the world of Intelligent Marine Coatings and Polishes based on Smart Surface Nanotechnolgy.
Next generation coatings are starting to emerge based on the implementation of Smart Nanotechnologies where functional materials are on the order of 1,000 times smaller than current tech coatings and are able to mimic the way nature looks after itself.
Today, high-performance biomimetic surface coatings based on Smart Surface Technologies already achieve measurable results for high gloss and colour stability far beyond those in the established marine care industry, whilst adding valuable functionality such a the lotus leaf effect, stain-resistant easy cleaning surfaces and most importantly extremely strong UV and IR filters that stop the harmful effect of the sun damaging you gel coat.
Nanoscopic Polish
Such polishes are a reality today using Nano-Composites that are around 1,000 times finer than traditional abrasive particles to build a nanoscopic polish formulation. These polishes are able to produce micro-fine surfaces (completely free of micro scratches, swirls or holograms normally associated with machine polish finishes.
HOW?
The tiny nanoscopic structure effectively employs a rounded action rather than cutting through the surface defects such as scratches and not going back to a deeper, fresh layer, as with use of coarser abrasives found in conventional polishes and cleaners. Also, nanoscopic polishes don't require all the heavy solvents, waxes and oils that are normally found in abrasive polishes/compounds and are water based, much lower in harmful volatile compounds, and much more environmental and people friendly.
