Liquid Glass is an exceptional technology which is brought to you by a


unique partnership between Liquid Glass Coatings Ltd. of the UK and CCM
GmbH of Germany. Together we work with some of Germany’s leading R+D
companies; these partner organisations specialise in the creation of “Ultra
Thin SiO² Layering Technology” which is better known as “Liquid Glass“.

This truly remarkable, multi award winning technology allows the end user
to protect both industrial and domestic surfaces with a super durable
coating of invisible, easy to clean, glass. In essence the technology allows the end user to deposit a nano
scale layer of *particle free “molecular” glass, onto the surface of most items.

The molecules of glass (silicon dioxide/SiO²) come from pure quartz sand, of which there are vast reserves, as
silicon dioxide is one of the most abundant compounds on the planet. Just like domestic glass the coatings
are chemically inert and highly resistant to acids.

The coatings also offer resistance to alkalis and solvents; however, despite some similarities to standard
glass the Liquid Glass coatings are stunningly different. The layer is flexible, breathable, highly durable, heat
tolerant, anti-microbial and offers non sticky and “easy clean” characteristics.

The application of the Liquid Glass range of products is amazingly straight forward. After preparatory cleaning,
items such as wash basins, windscreens, and fabrics can be coated in a matter of seconds. Significantly, most
coated surfaces can be cleaned with water alone, this of course massively reduces the use of environmentally
damaging cleaning products.

We at CCM have been involved with the development and marketing of Liquid Glass technology for over 10
years and as a result we offer unrivalled experience in the supply, packaging and world-wide distribution of
this technology.

ALGT© (Advanced Liquid Glass Technology)


It has now been over 150 years since the discovery of the Sol Gel process and advances are continually being
made. Due to our being linked with the leading R+D organisations in Germany we are able to bring you the
3rd Generation of Liquid Glass Technology via which we offer more efficient coatings, at reduced cost to the
consumer.

The ALGT© range provides the end user with coatings which offer increased durability, greater temperature
tolerance and massive corrosion resistance. These new coatings, which draw upon a wide range of stunningly
effective technologies are best described as “hybrid coatings”. They are not exclusively based on SiO² but
SiO² is often used within the matrix.

In essence ALGT© is the culmination of 150 years of development. Where will we be in another 150 years?
Obviously we do not know the answer to this question...

But we do know that we offer state of the art technology for the world of today.

* the majority of our coatings are based on molecular SiO², however some of our coatings may include discreet nano particles.

Penetrative Liquid Glass protection for Stone
TE
CHNOLOG
Unlike our standard coating for stone (which is a water based topographical coating) this coating is designed to penetrate deep into
the structure of the stone. After it has become established in the stone it provides massive protection against abrasion, and water

Y
A . L . G . T.©

The coating will remain highly effective for at least 10-20 years. This coating can be used on floors.It is primarily designed as an anti-
weathering coating for stone which significantly impedes and water ingress. On some stone (normally dense stone such as marble
and granite) the coating offers additional stain resistant characteristics. Testing is always recommended before large scale applica-
tion. It should not be applied to wet or moist stone. Optimum performance is established after drying for 24hrs at approximately
20C°.

Non penetrating, topographical Graffiti Protection for stone and cement surfaces
Although the coating is not designed specifically to be an anti-graffiti coating it does offer anti-graffiti characteristics in that it prevents deep penetration of
most graffiti agents and it allows for easier removal and it limits the degree of post graffiti “shadowing”. We also offer an anti graffiti coating system which
offers 25 removal cycles. Please contact us for specific details.
