Spray-on Liquid Glass to Revolutionize Everything

Sounds amazing. Nanotechnology, dude. Waterproof your shoes like never before. http://www.physorg.com/news184310039.html The liquid glass spray produces a water-resistant coating only around 100 nanometers (15-30 molecules) thick. On this nanoscale the glass is highly flexible and breathable. The coating is environmentally harmless and non-toxic, and easy to clean using only water or a simple wipe with a damp cloth. It repels bacteria, water and dirt, and resists heat, UV light and even acids. UK project manager with Nanopool, Neil McClelland, said soon almost every product you purchase will be coated with liquid glass. Food processing companies in Germany have already carried out trials of the spray, and found sterile surfaces that usually needed to be cleaned with strong bleach to keep them sterile needed only a hot water rinse if they were coated with liquid glass. The levels of sterility were higher for the glass-coated surfaces, and the surfaces remained sterile for months.

Yes, but it's glass you can inhale. Who knows what the ramifications of that might be.

I would guess it will be a severe irritant just like fiberglass if you inhale it.

In that case it might be better for outdoor applications rather than painted walls, counter tops, hair coloring fixatives.

There are tons of household products you can inhale but shouldn't.

You know what would be awesome... is if this could be applied to leather. Suede shoes in the rain!

EDIT: Oops didn't see the link above or even read the full first post. Can one of our EU members try this out!?!

Yes but certain particulate products can cause pulmonary fibrosis and other diseases e.g. Berryliosis or Silicosis (sand-blasters, quarry workers, glass makers).
