Most of the others Many garden centers and casual furniture specialty stores are still selling furniture care products containing dangerous  solvents / volatile organic compounds (voc’s). The label then often says “harmful”.  These environmentally damaging solvents(voc’s) are one of the culprits contributing towards the hole in the ozone layer (= greenhouse effect / global warming). Some products are also skin irritants.

Golden care Fortunately, there is an alternative. Golden Care offers maintenance products that not only perform better, but are also safe for the environment. Golden Care products are completely free of solvents (voc's) because they are manufactured on a water-based solution.  Since they are water-based, our products do not irritate the skin. This is one of the reasons why Golden Care became the world market leader in care products for outdoor furniture.

Golden Care Works Using Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology refers to a field of applied science whose theme is the control of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. Generally nanotechnology is approximately 100 nanometers or smaller and involves developing materials or devices within that size. One nanometer (nm) is one billionth, or 10-9 of a meter. To put that scale into context, the comparative size of a nanometer to a meter is the same as that of a football to the size of the earth. Or another way of putting it: A nano particle is really, really small. And Nanoparticles can help to protect surfaces in a better way.

Hydrophobic Nanotechnology Protects Teak Surfaces Better

Moisture, rain and UV radiation are the main causes of almost all damages on outdoor furniture and outdoor kitchens made of teak, hardwoods, stainless steel, stone, hardstone, powdercoated metals, glass, resin, fabrics, etc. Preventing water ingress into the structure of the surface can eliminate or substantially downsize the risk of damages to the furniture caused by moisture. We call this THE LOTUS EFFECT. It helps to slow down the influences of the weathering process.

New: NanoSurfaceProtec

Conventional protectors prevent water ingress but simultaneously seal off the pores blocking water within. They are much less resistant to UV radiation or scratches what allows water to penetrate again. Teak Protectors with NANOSURFACEPROTEC prevent moisture to enter the surface. The water repellent nano-particles of our new NANOSURFACEPROTEC are much, much smaller than the pores of the surface. Due to this and the low viscosity, they penetrate deep into the material and chemically bond to the inner pore walls, thus making the surface hydrophobic. External water is kept from entering the pores, while water vapor generated from within the structure can still escape. The structure of the surface remains breathable.

The Benefits of NANOSURFACEPROTEC

Water-repellent products create long-lasting protection from negative environmental effects such as:

• Freeze-thaw damage
• Corrosion
• Acid rain
• UV radiation
• Scratch damages

NANOSURFACEPROTEC was designed to combat these problems, not only increasing the longevity of treated surfaces, but also lower the cleaning frequency.

How do Golden Care Teak Products work?

The Nanoparticles work in a 3 step process: 

• The liquid is applied to the surface. 
• The Nanoparticles organise & arrange themselves. They bond to the surface & fill up the pores. 
• They become part of the surface itself and start doing their job: to protect.
