Surface Preparation
Remove bonded contamination so the protective phase can contact the actual surface rather than contamination sitting above it.
Koenig surface technology
Koenig Nano-Carnauba Surface Integration Technology™
Koenig’s working model for describing how proper decontamination exposes the microscopic surface profile so a fine Carnauba protective phase can conform closely to it, interact intimately with surface irregularities, and form a continuous protective interface.
The concept
Integrate with the surface — not merely coat over contamination.
Real paint, gelcoat, glass, and metal finishes are not perfectly flat at microscopic scale. They contain peaks, valleys, scratches, defects, and other irregularities. Bonded contamination can occupy or bridge those features and interfere with how a protective treatment contacts the actual surface.
The working model
Prepare → Conform → Integrate → Protect
Nano-Carnauba Conformity
A fine Carnauba protective phase can follow microscopic highs, lows, scratches, and other surface irregularities more intimately than a heavy layer applied over contamination.
Surface Integration
Close conformity allows the protective phase to occupy microscopic low areas and interact intimately with the real surface profile, increasing the opportunity for retention at the interface.
Protective Interface
The finished surface presents a thin Carnauba-rich interface whose chemistry and microstructure influence gloss, feel, water behavior, cleaning ease, and durability.
What Surface Lab will measure
Turn the model into data.
- Particle-size distribution and formulation characterization
- Microscopic surface morphology
- Water contact angle
- Water roll-off behavior
- Gloss before and after treatment
- Wash-cycle durability
- Application effort and residue
- Performance on multiple substrates
Koenig Nano-Carnauba Surface Integration Technology™ is presented as Koenig’s branded working model for surface interaction. Surface Lab will separate measured findings from hypotheses and marketing shorthand as testing expands.
