What is nanotechnology?<br />
<strong>Nano</strong>technology is a branch of applied Sciences and Technology referring to a field whose theme is the control of matter on a lower scale than<br />
micrometer scale. Generally, <strong>Nano</strong>technology deals with structures between 1 and 100 nanometers.<br />
(Source: Wikipedia).<br />
The application of technology in Chemistry, and mainly in the field of coating products, allows obtaining a better technical performance than<br />
using traditional products.<br />
Broadly speaking, the nanotechnologic development of raw materials consistently enhances all the properties that they confer to the manufacture.<br />
The reduction in the dimension of the particles allows optimizing their distribution within the coating film. A better distribution of raw materials<br />
corresponds to a higher homogeneity in the technical performances of the coating film.<br />
In particular, it is possible to enhance the coating film mechanical resistance qualities (surface hardness, elasticity, adhesion, scratch resistance),<br />
resistance to yellowing (caused by a prolonged exposure to UV rays), and resistance to heat and flame.<br />

WATER-BASED NANOTECHNOLOGICAL PRODUCTS FOR EXTERIORS<br />
Δ E*<br />
Legend: 0 = Excellent 5 = Very bad<br />
From what can be observed from the table, the cycle realized with NANO-C products gives the following advantages:<br />
■ Longer lasting brightness of paint in the exterior<br />
■ Stronger adhesion and elasticity<br />
■ Stronger resistance to film yellowing<br />
The aesthetic level of the coating cycle is in line with the best water-based products for exterior distributed on the market.<br />
Besides, the top-coat has the following characteristics:<br />
■ Opacity 30 gloss<br />
■ High verticality<br />
■ Excellent elasticity and adhesion<br />
■ Reduced grain swelling<br />
■ High filling<br />
■ Excellent resistance to water penetration over short times (water-proof)<br />
NANO-C coating cycle is particularly indicated for the coating of light stained woods.<br />
The best results are obtained on conifer woods with white, semi-covering, top-coat effect.<br />
In this specific case, the new proposal offers the utmost protection from visible UV rays, limiting wood yellowing.<br />
AN IVM CHEMICALS’ BRAND

<strong>Milesi</strong> products were born in 1947 in Italy, from <strong>Milesi</strong> spa, a company specialized in the<br />
production of coatings, stains and primers for wood.<br />
In 1970, <strong>Milesi</strong> spa became part of IVM, the most important multinational Group in Europe,<br />
and among the first groups in the world in this sector. It has Subsidiaries in Italy, France, Spain,<br />
Germany, Greece and Poland, distributing in over 70 Countries thanks to a highly specialized<br />
Sales Network.<br />
In 2007, IVM Chemicals originated from the merger between <strong>Milesi</strong> and the other Italian<br />
Companies of the Group, and at the same time it was created the International Development<br />
Division, exclusively dedicated to the distribution of <strong>Milesi</strong> products all over the world.<br />
The project involves the building of a highly productive plant, thanks to the possibility offered<br />
by the processing of quantities never managed before by a single plant.<br />
IVM Chemicals plant is the largest and most modern manufacturing establishment in the<br />
world, designed to guarantee high process standardization, the constant possibility to intervene<br />
with tests and quality controls, the optimization of loading operations and a complete control<br />
of raw materials and finished products.<br />
<strong>Milesi</strong> products have been studied and developed by over 200 researchers who, in the<br />
European Research and Development labs of the Group, work every day in constant telematic<br />
contact for the future of wood coatings, with the most technologically advanced instruments.<br />
<strong>Nano</strong>technologically developed innovative<br />
solutions for frames<br />
The constant attention of IVM Chemicals laboratories, in which <strong>Milesi</strong> products are<br />
created, toward technological and scientific innovation, allowed studying the possible<br />
applications of nanotechnology in the field of paints for wood.<br />
<strong>Milesi</strong> NANO-C water-based products for exteriors originate from deep studies and laboratory<br />
research.<br />
Thanks to the nanotechnological development of particular raw materials, NANO-C<br />
water-based products for exteriors allow controlling and delaying the inevitable deterioration<br />
process to which the wood is subject, mainly for what concerns UV rays resistance, one of the<br />
main causes of wood deterioration.<br />
The specific laboratory tests done on samples painted using NANO-C technology have given<br />
results of coating film resistance to UV rays, which are unthinkable with traditional coating<br />
systems.<br />
<strong>Nano</strong>technological water-based products for exteriors are part of <strong>Milesi</strong> NANO-C line,<br />
which also includes:<br />
■ Products for the coating of parquets, office furniture, kitchens and for all manufactured<br />
items requiring extreme hardness and wearing resistance.<br />
■ Water-based UV products<br />
■ Fire-retardant products.<br />
NANO-C for exteriors: products<br />
XHT100<br />
Water-based white primer for immersion or flow coating application.<br />
It is characterized by excellent wrapping and pigmentation, and reduced grain swelling.<br />
It has been formulated using special polymers which can give excellent resistance to yellowing<br />
over time. It is possible to modify its color using <strong>Milesi</strong> Kromosystem series HMT10-90 pastes<br />
to realize the pastel shades required by the market.<br />
XBC100<br />
Intermediate, water-based base-coat for immersion or flow coating application.<br />
Main characteristics: besides the ease of use and its excellent wrapping, the product<br />
distinguishes itself for the high filling and for its reduced grain swelling, mainly on conifer<br />
woods.<br />
XGC100<br />
Neutral water-based top-coat characterized by excellent versatility in application, using<br />
common spray systems (manual or automatic).<br />
It gives high filling, excellent outdoor resistance and stability to light.<br />
Water-proof: it offers the utmost resistance to water in short times, avoiding chalking on the<br />
manufactures exposed to rain after being coated.<br />
NANO-C for exteriors:<br />
stained-effect coating cycles<br />
Water-based coating cycles for manufactures positioned outdoor allow obtaining a particular<br />
stained effect and can limit the inevitable deterioration process on exterior wood.<br />
