Functional method

Nano particles and nano structures are put together out of 100 to 100,000 atoms or molecules and have physical and chemical characteristics or biological functions which most single atoms/molecules or objects don’t have.

Not only the Lotus-flower, but also many other plants and insects have self-cleaning
characteristics. 
This self-cleaning effect we know as a natural phenomenon has arrived in the technical world and it is possible to apply it on almost any technical surface.

Scientists found out that the surface doesn't need to become smooth, but rather a "rough" surface must occur after the sealing.
The refined surface reduces the contact area so that dirt cannot fix itself to the surface. Also, the water that comes in contact with the surface is not able to build a film, it can only build small beads that drop off much faster and take most of the dirt with them. 
The so obtained self-cleaning characteristics (or easy-to-clean characteristics) reduce the cleaning expense and periodly protect the surface against aging, aggressive environmental influences and chalk deposits. 

Example 1: 

During and shortly after the application the nano particles organize themselves and bond to the sealed surface. 
This happens for example with glass and ceramics -  after the sealant was applied fluids and dirt can be removed from the surface much faster and easier. 

Example 2: 

If a facade is sealed, the nano particles bond themselves into the open pores.  After that the surface becomes repellent to dirt and water but still remains open for diffusion.  Fungus, weaving, algae and moss are kept from growing.

Examples 3: 

Textiles can also be sealed .  The nano particles form a protection layer around each single fiber. Moisture and dirt can no longer penetrate into the fibers, but again the textile remains fully breathable.
