7603 Glass 5M Hydro

Dual SiO₂ and TiO₂ nano technology for long-lasting surfaces

Unlike conventional hydrophobic coatings, where water forms droplets and rolls off, this special CCM® active coating creates a hydrophilic surface. Water spreads evenly across the surface as a continuous film (“water sheeting”), supporting the natural self-cleaning effect. Dirt particles are more easily carried away, water spots are reduced, and the surface remains cleaner for longer.

The innovative combination of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) and titanium dioxide (TiO₂) combines durable surface protection with active self-cleaning properties. While the SiO₂ technology increases the surface’s resistance to moisture, dirt, and environmental influences, the photocatalytically active TiO₂ continuously reduces organic contaminants under daylight exposure.

The result is surfaces that stay cleaner for longer, are easier to maintain, and retain a well-maintained appearance over time. At the same time, cleaning effort, maintenance costs, and the use of cleaning agents are significantly reduced.

Ideal for glass surfaces 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.

  • Indoor areas with air-purifying 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.
