tab_id=&#8221;1603382311167-6e057691-849c&#8221;][vc_toggle title=&#8221;What is the nanoDefense self cleaning surface film intended to do?&#8221;]nanoDefense<sup>\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0is a recognizable, replaceable film substrate that has a proprietary coating which activates in the presence of light to create a self cleaning surface. It is intended for use on high touch surfaces in lighted areas where the coating works to continuously to remove contaminants.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How does the nanoDefense\u2122 Surface work?&#8221;]One of the components of the coating is a mineral called titanium dioxide. Titanium dioxide acts as a photocatalyst, when activated by light. This photocatalytic effect produces Hydroxl radicals that have 2 times the oxidizing power of bleach. This oxidation breaks down organic contaminants at the cellular level into harmless byproducts.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;What do you mean by &#8220;self-cleaning&#8220;?&#8221;]The nanoDefense<sup>\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0surface continuously oxidizes organic contaminants at the cellular level. It is important to remember that light must be able to reach the surface for the process to work. Wiping away anything that would prevent light from reaching the film will allow nanoDefenseTM to continuously self clean.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How should I clean nanoDefense\u2122 surfaces?&#8221;]nanoDefense<sup>\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0surfaces are not affected by traditional non-abrasive cleaners or detergents. We recommend wiping the surface with a non-abrasive cloth and water to remove large-scale contaminants. Do not use harsh cleaners, detergents, or abrasive cleaning utensils that will compromise the coated surface.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How do I choose between INDUSTRIAL Grade or Professional Grade products?&#8221;]All facilities have areas within them that get touched or used more frequently than others. INDUSTRIAL Grade nanoDefense<sup>\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0products are designed to be used in high traffic areas where the surfaces would be touched regularly. The INDUSTRIAL Grade products have longer lasting coatings and are more abrasion resistant. The INDUSTRIAL Grade products will last longer between replacements than the Professional Grade which are intended for low to medium traffic areas.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How long do nanoDefense\u2122 products last?&#8221;]We recommend replacing nanoDefense<sup>\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0products quarterly at a minimum. The nanoDefense<sup>\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0surface does not expire, so the product has a very long lasting shelf life. The product service life is solely dependent on actual physical wear and tear that gradually removes and reduces the effectiveness of the coating.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How do I know when to replace nanoDefense\u2122 surfaces?&#8221;]Beyond the recommendation to replace nanoDefense<sup>\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0products quarterly the print on nanoDefense<sup>\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0products can serve as a wear indicator. If the text or graphics become worn or faded, the coated surface is also becoming worn and it\u2019s time to replace. Also, if the nanoDefense<sup>\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0film starts to peel off, we recommend replacement to keep the touch point free from contaminants.[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text] nanoDefense\u2122 \u2013 A Self Cleaning Surface Film [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]nanoDefense is a proprietary coating technology that creates a Photocatalytic effect in the presence of light to continuously clean its surface from contaminants.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] nanoDefense\u2122 Film for Common Touch-points [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]nanoDefense\u2122 is applied to a film substrate with an adhesive backing which can be applied to common touch [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/template-fullwidth.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-932","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canwestnanofilm.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/932"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canwestnanofilm.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canwestnanofilm.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canwestnanofilm.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canwestnanofilm.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=932"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/canwestnanofilm.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/932\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":958,"href":"https:\/\/canwestnanofilm.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/932\/revisions\/958"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canwestnanofilm.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=932"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
