FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Nano Touch Self Cleaning FAQ

  • How long does it last?
    We recommend replacing facility touch point skins every 90 days. In some high traffic applications they may need to be replaced more often. Mats, mousepads and tissue box covers should be replaced annually. Nothing gets used up or expires, so the products' shelf life is virtually unlimited. Product life is dependent on actual physical wear.
  • How do I know when to replace Nanotuch surfaces?
    The easiest rule to follow is to replace the skins quarterly and the other products annually. However, the print serves as a wear indicator, so if the text or graphics become worn or faded, it's time to replace. Also, if the skins start to peel off, we recommend replacement to keep the touch point looking good.
  • Does self cleaning work
    The effectiveness of Nanotouch products is critical to our customers’ success and satisfaction. Nanotouch Self-Cleaning Surfaces have been tested extensively by independent, EPA, FDA and GLP compliant laboratories. Additionally, the U.S. Navy validated its efficacy after six months of rigorous testing. Other independent studies have been conducted overseas at the Korea Research Institute (South Korea), the King Abdul-Aziz University Research Center (Saudi Arabia) and Acumen Scientific (Malaysia). NanoTouch Materials also received a $2 million grant after a 9 month vetting process by university scientists.
  • Who are your clients?
    Locally ( New Zealand )and internationally, our list of clients is long, about 15,000 in number. So, we thought we'd give you the 1000-foot view: The Top 10 facility management and commercial real estate firms in the world The most profitable manufacturing and distribution company based in the U.S. The Top 5 pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies IT, SaaS and technology-based organizations More than 250 educational campuses Medical schools, doctor and dental offices Elite 5-star hotels Each American professional sports league Credit card, banks and other financial institutions Federal, state and local governments Every branch of the U.S. Armed Services Gyms, fitness and recreation centers
  • Does the product kill germs? are they EPA registered?
    In today’s regulatory environment, only EPA registered products, which are all classified as pesticides, can claim effectiveness against any type of germ. Instead of taking the traditional approach of using stronger chemicals and toxins, we focused on a new generation of smart materials that clean themselves. We also recognize the value of traditional disinfectants so we made sure Nanotouch products would be compatible with these chemicals, working as a “cleaning multiplier” to create a higher level of clean that is visible and works 24/7.
  • Are your products recyclable?
    Our products are recyclable through Terracycle. Their Office Supplies - Zero Waste Box™ program covers both our Peel & Stick Touchpoints and our silicone Slide-On Sleeves. Because the footprint of our products is very small, we encourage you to use the Office Supplies - Zero Waste Box™ for other qualifying recyclables as well. You might be surprised just how many you have! Our silicone Slide-On Sleeves can also be recycled through Terracycle's Plastic Packaging - Zero Waste Box™ if the rest of your recyclables are a better fit for that program. Last but not least, our Mousepads and Counter Mats are recyclable through the Office Separation - Zero Waste Box™. If you're not familiar with Terracycle, here are a couple of links to get you started: How Zero Waste Box™ System Works Zero Waste Box™ Frequently Asked Questions
  • How does it work?
    One of the components of the surface is a mineral nano-cristal which act as a catalyst, charged by visible light. These nano-crystals create a continuous, powerful oxidation reaction, which breaks down organic material into base component such a CO2. The surface also forms free radicals which act as an additional cleaning agent.
  • Is this effective against COVID-19?
    YES! The latest test by an independent, FDA-complaint US lab showed the Nanotouch surface completely eradicated the human coronavirus in less than 30 minutes. These surfaces constantly kill bacteria, viruses and fungi utilizing the latest nanotechnology rather than chemicals, diluted poisons, or heavy metals.
  • What do you mean by Self Cleaning?
    The Nanotouch surface continuously oxides organic contaminants at the microscopic level. Large scale contaminants must still be removed to allow the surfaces to do its job. This is similar to disinfectants, which require surfaces to be cleaned before the disinfectant can be effective.
  • How should I clean Nanotouch surfaces?
    Nanotouch surfaces are not affected by traditional non-abrasive cleaners. We recommend wiping the surface with a microfiber cloth and water to remove large-scale contaminants. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaning utensils which might compromise the Nanotouch surface.
  • Do you give discounts?
    Yes we do! for commercial customers please call us at 03 420 2330.
