Nanopool GmbH

Nanopool GmbH is a German nanotechnology research and development company founded in 2002 that specializes in functional surface coatings based on proprietary Liquid Glass (SiO2) technology. The company operates as a technology platform, focusing on the development and manufacturing of ultra-thin, transparent, and environmentally friendly protective layers. These coatings are engineered to provide surfaces with specific properties, such as water and dirt repellency, antimicrobial protection, and durability, while largely maintaining the original appearance, feel, and breathability of materials like glass, metal, plastic, textiles, and paper. Their products are developed through interdisciplinary research and are often patented or patent-pending, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and resource efficiency.

By providing tailored coating systems, Nanopool helps partners across diverse industries—including healthcare, construction, photovoltaics, and sustainable packaging—to enhance product performance, improve hygiene, and reduce maintenance requirements. Their SiOPack initiative, for instance, offers a recyclable, plastic-free barrier coating for paper-based packaging that protects against moisture and grease. The company’s solutions have been recognized with numerous scientific and environmental awards and are designed for integration into industrial production processes, helping customers achieve more durable, hygienic, and sustainable material applications.
