Human life is ultimately dependent on the myriads of organisms and natural resources with which we share the planet. In the last hundred years, the human population has increased four-fold, and in the last 50 years the global economy has quintupled in size, placing considerable pressure on the world’s natural resources. Despite an increased awareness of the effects of our actions, global economic and social development is still outpacing environmental protection. Science and technology have a key role in ensuring the sustainable development of the global community. The human race, as well as other species on earth, is victimized by air and water pollutions, threatened by hazardous and nuclear wastes. “Acid rain“, “global warming“, “ozone depletion“ — have become household daily vocabularies. Environmental sustainability based on technology to-date is pessimistic. Emerging molecular nanotechnology in all industrial fronts, such as nanoelectronics, nanobiotechnology, nanomaterial, nanoenergy, etc., offer radical tools, for the first time, to enable human societies to be on the upper hand in the struggle toward sustainable economic growth. Furthermore, it provides extra capacity for human civilizations, to not only remediate environmental liabilities accumulated since industrial revolution in the 18th century, but also, to produce unlimited material and energy with ultra-green processes. Nanotechnology — less is more What does Nano mean ? The word „Nano“ originally comes from the Greek and means dwarf. In mathematics, chemistry and physics, the term nano stands as prefix for the multiple of a unit. Here are some examples of other well-known prefixes: Decimeter means a tenth of a meter, kilogram means thousand fold of a gram, the word „mega“, even held introduction in our language and meant, million-fold. Every word these prefixes means an enlargement or a reduction. Nanometer stands now for the billionths of a meter — and this is exactly the size level, where the products of TCM Asia work. Differently expressed: The size of a football, in the comparison to the earth, corresponds to the same relative importance as a nanoparticle to the football. The use and the effect of the nano-technology The TCM Nanotech products are based on the chemical nano-technology and are the result of the research with self-organizing nano-structures, which chain themselves like a lattice to the surface. TCM Nanotech products are invisible, cannot be felt and are biologically completely harmless, since they are in aqueous or alcoholic solution. Nano-structures form themselves at the surface and are actually not on, but embodied in the surface. Dirt cannot penetrate into the surface. Cleaning can be done without cleaning agents. The treated surfaces are characterized, depending upon product, by very good water, oil and dirt rejection.They are as far as possible resistant against many acids, release and cleaning agents. A breathe-active, mechanically very steady, not-impairing-the-optics protective layer is formed. The treated surfaces are high pressure resistant (50-60 bar) as well as temperature-steadily to 250° C. So far, in order to preserve a dirt impregnation, the surface had to be covered partly or completely with various plastics. Impregnations on plastic base coats the surface and changes the characteristic. Chemical nano-structures are, however, so small that the surface has always the same optics as the untreated product. Because of the small size, the developing nano-particle form an impregnated surface which differs neither optically, nor perceptibly from an untreated surface. The effect is based on the repulsion of liquid without closing the surface. The steam permeability remains full. TCM products can be used in the interior and external areas. The treated surfaces are durably protected. TCM Nanotech products are surface treatments, which simplify the cleaning substantially. With the use of TCM Nanotech products one reduces the cleaning time substantially or one can, through partly self- cleaning surfaces, completely do without cleaning. The use of the nano-technology products are various and offer ecological and economic advantages, which are not to be exceeded. Environmental advantages of TCM Nanotech means: Environmental, Nano coatings are optimal, since their effective range in atomic orders of magnitude improves results far superior to conventional products, which must be laid on in thick layers. Result: The nano-technology protects our environment from an overload by partially highly toxic materials. By the characteristic of the nano-products to form ultra thinn coatings we are able to save valuable resources.   Benefits of Nano treatments Where is the nano-technology used? For approximately 20 years, international enterprises and research institutes have investigated nano-technology , including companies such as: Agie Charmilles, ABB, Alcan, Aistom, Balzers, Ciba, Christ, Daimler, IBM, Leica, Nikon, Nestle, Siemens, Sulzer and Zeiss. Only a few of the research results became to -date public products. We are, thus, at the beginning of a great development. Nano-technology will lastingly change the economy across all industries. It is a starting point for most varied innovations in many diverse ranges. For example : • Energy technology • Traffic and transportation • Environmental technology • Medicine • Electronics • Household The enormous potential of Nano-technology is increasingly recognized. In expert circles, it applies in value as key technology in the 21st Century compared with today's economic meaning of microelectronics and biotechnology. The large use of TCM Nanotech products consists of the fact that surface-liquid, lime and dirt remains can be removed very simply with water — without chemical aids. Likewise mineral undergrounds (concrete, natural stone, sandstone, e tc.) treated with TCM products, are rendered free of algae and fungi. Wood can be protected durably against total moisture. Plastic surfaces receive a n ultra thin, invisible protection and glass areas get an anti-fitting effect easily cleaned with water. The external coating for glass has a self cleaning effect and cleaning intervals are substantially extended. TCM Nanotech products are manufactured with water or alcohol as substrate.They are thus solvent-free and are characterised in such a way as an ecologically harmless product. Conventional coatings, such as wax or Teflon, are improved by an extreme longevity. TCM Nanotech products form a non-adhesive coating for interior and external areas, achieving a durable chemical compound with the surface of the object treated. After the treatment, there is not a film but a protective, invisible layer. The large advantage of this protective layer consists of the fact that, not only is the treated surface now oil and dirt-deflecting, but almost 100 % air permeability is guaranteed.
