IOTA ST4 represents a significant advancement in protective surface coatings, combining cutting-edge nanotechnology with exceptional environmental credentials. This water-based nano ceramics coating delivers unparalleled performance, specifically engineered for demanding applications where extreme temperatures, durability, and safety are paramount.

Core Advantages:

1. Eco-Friendly & Operator Safe: As a water-based formulation, IOTA ST4 eliminates the need for harmful solvents like alcohols or esters. This significantly reduces volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, making it an environmentally responsible choice. Crucially, it also provides a much safer working environment for operators during application, minimizing exposure to hazardous fumes.

2. Exceptional Durability & Protection: Leveraging a specialized technology and formulation, IOTA ST4 achieves an outstanding hardness rating of 9H (Chinese Pencil Test). This extreme hardness translates into superior resistance against abrasion, scratches, and graffiti. Furthermore, the cured coating exhibits excellent resistance to acids and alkalis, while its smooth surface actively repels dust, oil, and general dirt, ensuring surfaces stay cleaner for longer.

3. Remarkable High-Temperature Resistance: A defining feature of IOTA ST4 is its ability to withstand temperatures up to 900°C. This exceptional thermal stability makes it suitable not only for protecting standard surfaces but also qualifies it as an effective fireproof coating for wooden materials, providing a critical layer of safety.

Technical Specifications:

• Appearance: Colorless to transparent liquid.

• Solid Content: 35%.

• Coating Thickness: Wet Film: 10-100 µm; Dry Film: 1-50 µm (demonstrating efficient film formation).

• Hardness: 9H (Chinese Pencil Test).

• Adhesion: Grade 0 (excellent adhesion).

• Curing Time:

  • Room Temperature: Surface dry: ~30 minutes; Full cure: 7 days (achieving 9H hardness).

  • High Temperature (150°C): Surface dry: ~10 minutes (hardness 5-8H); Full cure: 3 hours (hardness up to 9H). The high-temperature curing option offers significantly faster processing.

Application Versatility:

IOTA ST4 is designed for high-performance protection across diverse substrates, including:

• Metal (industrial components, cookware)

• Glass (appliances, architectural elements)

• Ceramics (tiles, sanitaryware)

• Wood Furniture (providing both aesthetic finish and fireproofing)

Application Instructions:

1. Surface Preparation: Critical for optimal performance. Thoroughly clean the substrate to remove all oil, grease, dirt, and loose particles. Sanding may be required to achieve a smooth surface. Ensure the surface is completely dry before application.

2. Application Method: Due to its water-based nature, IOTA ST4 is compatible with common application techniques:

   • Brushing

   • Spraying (showering)

   • Spin Coating

   • Rolling
     Avoid dilution unless specifically recommended by the manufacturer, as the formulation is optimized.

Conclusion:

IOTA ST4 Water-Based Nano Ceramics Coating sets a new benchmark for high-performance, environmentally conscious surface protection. Its unique combination of 9H hardness, resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and extreme heat (900°C), coupled with its water-based safety profile, makes it an ideal solution for protecting metal, glass, ceramics, and wood across industrial, architectural, and consumer applications. Whether seeking ultimate durability, fire resistance, or a safer coating process, IOTA ST4 delivers exceptional results.
