Created by Ross Nanotechnology LLC Corporation http://www.neverwet.com/about-us.php, you just spray it on clothing, shoes or whatever you wish to keep clean and dry. It repels water, moisture, oils, dirt, and almost anything. It comes in a spray and liquid paint to cover all surfaces.
How will it impact on the market and its competitors, you ask? Well, so far Rubbermaid have taken to this technology creating a clean and dry plunger (retrieved October 5, 2012 from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nYNOB3K_wg). A plunger of all things? Yes, a plunger - not really life changing, but how long before someone sprays it on their cars, or even clothing (gone will be the days of the washing machine). While these might be the immediate benefits, there are risks involved. What would the implications be if someone bathes in it? I'd hate to think what people would do to themselves with this product, as threads on youtube so descriptively highlight below:
Keep an eye out for upcoming competitors (other than Rubbermaid), and who will quickly whip this product up and converge with their own products. The important point to note, as NorthwestBrendan mentioned above, will this product be for consumer use, or will it be a product that only companies, and the manufacturing industry will be allowed to use. In addition, keep an eye out for the costs.
Most importantly, just wait for it to arrive.
yup, the latest and greatest technology - and already some concerns about unforseen side-effects http://www.csiro.au/en/Portals/Publications/Brochures--Fact-Sheets/sunscreens-FAQ/What-are-the-concerns-over-the-use-of-nanoparticles-in-sunscreens.aspx
ReplyDeleteYou see, nanoparticles in sunscreens interests me, there are nanoparticles in so many things even in the air we breathe, as highlighted here http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/en/pattie_maes_demos_the_sixth_sense.html. What do you think? The Discovery Channel reports much controversy around geoengineering chem trails. But as you stated, aluminium oxide particles may have even been around alot longer than chem trails, and present in simple household products such as sunscreen, moisturisers, and so forth.
