From Discovering the next big thing in Cleaning!

Eco spray antimicrobial general cleaning fluids.

A natural product from Nature mated with superhydrophobic functionality.

Advances in nanotechnology and nanoscience are given us new concepts, products, tools and instruments that can help cleaning professionals for the first time manipulate the invisible world of atoms and molecules. These products, when taken from the natural world, are completely safe, edible, environmentally friendly, yet offer the user new ways to deliver value and service, reducing costs, enhancing physical aesthetics, pushing product and food shelf-life, innovating R&D, driving new services and helping lower unit operation cost whilst acting eco-positively and sustainably across the supply chain.

From NanoKTN: UK Graphene Industrial Consultation Workshops: General Findings

During March this year, the NanoKTN hosted and led two industrial consultation workshops to discuss the commercialisation potential of graphene, a new material which has been the subject of intense academic study. One workshop addressed electrical and electronic (e.g. �2-D materials') applications, and the other, structural and bulk applications, a demarcation which highlighted that markets are essentially very different, and the quantities of material and supply chains involved, also very different.
