CCM GmbH in Overath is promoting under the "Quantum LiquiGlas®" brand a new product group of surface protection products for use in the office, home and car. Through simple application (i.e. applying the solution with a preimpregnated wipe) a layer is applied to a surface which then becomes treated through a chemical process. The layer is 500 times thinner than a human hair, invisible and has no feel, but CCM says it still gives extraordinary properties: surfaces will become antimicrobial with viruses with bacteria unable to survive and also become easier to clean and stay looking cleaner for longer.
