7603 Glass 5M Hydro
Dual SiO₂ and TiO₂ nano technology for long-lasting surfaces
CCM® 7603 combines the benefits of a hydrophilic surface with the performance of advanced SiO₂ and TiO₂ nanotechnology. Unlike conventional hydrophobic coatings, where water forms droplets and rolls off the surface, water spreads across the coated area as a thin, continuous film (“water sheeting”). This helps remove dust, dirt, and airborne contaminants more effectively, reduces water spotting, and supports the natural self-cleaning process.
The innovative combination of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) and titanium dioxide (TiO₂) delivers both durable surface protection and active self-cleaning performance. While the SiO₂ technology increases resistance to moisture, dirt, and environmental influences, the photocatalytically active TiO₂ uses daylight to continuously break down organic contaminants on the surface.
A further advantage is its exceptional ease of application. Unlike most hydrophilic and photocatalytic coatings, CCM® 7603 can be applied either by spraying or simply with a microfiber cloth, making installation faster, easier, and more cost-effective.
The result is a highly transparent, long-lasting coating that keeps surfaces cleaner for longer, reduces maintenance requirements, and helps preserve both appearance and performance over time.
Ideal for glass surfaces, solar panels, façades, conservatories, and other smooth mineral substrates where long-term cleanliness, value retention, and an attractive appearance are key priorities.
Hydrophilic active coatings for glass and stone surfaces
7603 Glass 5M Hydro is an advanced water-based nano titanium dioxide coating designed to create self-cleaning and superhydrophilic surfaces on glass, solar panels and other smooth, non-porous materials.
The photocatalytic nano-TiO₂ technology is activated even under visible light and supports the breakdown of organic contaminants. At the same time, a pronounced water-sheeting effect is created, allowing water to spread evenly across the surface and helping remove dirt particles more effectively. The coating reduces dirt adhesion, minimizes cleaning cycles and supports permanently clean surfaces while maintaining high transparency.
Antistatic Effect
Superhydrophilic Effect
Photocatalytic Effect
Application Example: Solar
Higher efficiency. Longer lifespan.
Hydrophobic without 7603
- Dirt adheres strongly and remains on the surface
- Water beads irregularly or stays in puddles and streaks
- Dries slowly - residues, limescale and dust remain
- Less light transmissions - lower energy yield
Hydrophilic with 7603
- Hydrophilic surface - water forms a thin film
- Rainwater spreads evently and drains of quickly
- Dirt is washed away by rain without residues
- More light transmission = higher efficiency and energy output
Application Example: Ceramics
Better appearance. Easier cleaning.
Hydrophobic without 7603
- Water forms droplets that stick to the surface
- Dirt, lime scale and soap residues adhere more strongly
- Water runs down in irregular streamd and leaves streaks
- Dries with water spots, residues and limescale marks
- Requires more frequent cleaning and higher effort
Hydrophilic with 7603
- Rainwater spreads immediately into a thin, uniform film
- The film runs down evently and over the entire surface
- Dirt and lime scale are rinsed away by the water - no residues
- Dries quickly and streak-free - no water spots or limescale marks
- Less cleaning effort and long-lasting, well-maintained appearance
Photocatalytic self-cleaning - Color does not adhere to the surface
The ink is based on Methylene Blue which oxidices extremely fast under light exposure.
