Revolutionizing Everything: Spray-on Liquid Glass

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Spray-on liquid glass is a groundbreaking nanotechnology product that offers a transparent, non-toxic coating capable of protecting surfaces from water, UV radiation, dirt, heat, and bacteria. This innovative product will soon be available in DIY stores across Britain for approximately £5 ($8 US). The coating is documented as physiologically harmless, food safe, and environmentally friendly, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. However, concerns regarding potential health risks, such as inhalation leading to silicosis, have been raised, particularly regarding its use on food and its mechanical properties similar to asbestos.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of nanotechnology principles
  • Knowledge of material safety data sheets (MSDS)
  • Familiarity with the properties of silica (SiO2)
  • Awareness of environmental impact assessments
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the health implications of silica exposure in various forms
  • Explore the applications of nanotechnology in consumer products
  • Investigate the environmental benefits and risks of using liquid glass coatings
  • Learn about regulatory standards for food-safe coatings
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for product developers, safety engineers, environmental scientists, and anyone interested in the implications of nanotechnology in consumer goods.

Spray-on liquid glass is about to revolutionize almost everything

(PhysOrg.com) -- Spray-on liquid glass is transparent, non-toxic, and can protect virtually any surface against almost any damage from hazards such as water, UV radiation, dirt, heat, and bacterial infections. The coating is also flexible and breathable, which makes it suitable for use on an enormous array of products.

...Liquid glass spray is perhaps the most important nanotechnology product to emerge to date. It will be available in DIY stores in Britain soon, with prices starting at around £5 ($8 US). Other outlets, such as many supermarkets, may be unwilling to stock the products because they make enormous profits from cleaning products that need to be replaced regularly, and liquid glass would make virtually all of them obsolete.

On the company's website it states;

Certificates and expert’s reports by accredited independent institutes and labs have documented the following properties:
* Physiological harmless
* Food safe
* Compatible with skin and mucosa
* Free of nano particles
* Environmentally friendly

So what do you guys think, is this a load of bollocks? Or is it entirely plausible and will likely become a revolutionary product?

Also what would happen if you people started spraying it on food and fruit. Would you wear the enamel on your teeth away faster? What would happen if it got into your lungs? Could it crystallise and turn into nano shards like asbestos?

Discuss.

Definitely an interesting product if the claims are true.
Should be available for purchase/testing soon.
 
SiO2, except for inhalation, is innocuous. Inhaled, it causes silicosis. It is a component of the mineral asbestos that is particularly hazardous for various mechanical properties.

I can imagine flakes of this glass coating having similar mechanical properties to asbestos.

Conversely, an increase of 10 mg/day in silica intake was associated with a reduced risk of dementia (adjusted relative risk = 0.89, P = 0.036). However, geographic exposure to aluminum or silica from tap water was not associated with dementia.
