Iran-Made ‘Nano Shield’ Reduces Energy Consumption in Old Buildings
This non-invasive coating, without the need for window replacement or construction work, with a return on investment of 3 to 5 years and reduced cooling energy consumption, can be a logical option for building owners, especially in solar-prone areas.
“In a comprehensive comparison between Nano Shield and solutions like replacing windows with AGC's Soft Coat or Hard Coat glass, and window films, the Nano Shield enjoys advantages including, reduced initial cost compared to conventional methods, minimal disruption in implementation compared to costly and time-consuming window replacement operations, high speed of installation and reduced project implementation time, and reduced construction waste and material waste compared to window films,” said Saeed Madarshahi, the Nano Shield project manager.
“Experts believe that Nano Shield, by providing a more sustainable, less costly, and non-disruptive solution is the best option,” he added.
In a relevant development in 2023, an Iranian nanotechnological company had also produced special shielding paint to protect the underside of car.
‘Goharfam Industrial Manufacturing’ company has successfully made the product which is a polymeric shielding paint composed of polymeric matrix and nanoparticles to protect the underside of cars against the environmental corrosive and detrimental agents for a long time.
It can also attenuate the disturbing sounds during the vehicle movement.
Utilization of nanoparticles inside the polymeric matrix of the shielding paint has made the paint anti-corrosive, impact-resistant, pebble endurance, and wear-resistant, increased the viscosity of the paint, enhanced the shear strength of the paint and adhesion to steel surfaces, and yielded favorable damping capacity.
The paint can be used for underside of vehicle chassis, underside of mudguard, rear, front bumper, and door frames of cars, the interior parts of vehicles that are not physically accessible, but are highly prone to corrosion, like panels, frame rails, and inner cavities.
