Technical visit to Nanotechnology in Action: Waterproof, Sealant and Air Quality

By Ir LAM Chi Sing

 

A technical visit to Nano and Advanced Materials Institute Limited (NAMI) was organized at the Hong Kong Science Technology Parks on 23 June 2018. Upon arrival, the representatives of the NAMI team delivered a presentation on their Nanotechnology products to our members. NAMI, established in 2006, was designated by the Innovation and Technology Commission as a Research and Development Centre for nanotechnology and advanced materials. NAMI undertakes and provides support for market-oriented research in nanotechnology and advanced materials, and strives for commercialization of the technologies to promote a knowledge-based economy. NAMI’s R&D activities focus on five market sectors including Energy, Electronics, Construction, Environmental and Healthcare. NAMI's technologies were highly recognized in the 46th International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva 2018 by winning 11 gold medals, as well as the King Abdulaziz University Distinguished Innovation Award.  The representatives introduced three innovative construction products used in the construction industry. The first one was a cementitious-based waterproofing material with high ductility which is applied on roof surface finishes for the prevention of water seepage and passed through the underside of the slab, and it is flexible, has high durability, elongation, resistance to water permeability and is cost-effective. The second one was a joint sealant for waterproof joints with good tensile strengths and high elasticity, it is also stain resistant and again cost effective. The third product was a spray paint for the inner surface of air ducts which helps minimize dust accumulation aiding provision of good air quality. After the talk, we visited their first-of-its-kind laboratory entitled “Smart Construction Materials Lab”. Their representatives introduced various advanced equipment and apparatus to support their research and development; in particular they have a unique 1200°C fire furnace to simulate actual fire tests. Various demonstration sample products being developed in NAMI were also introduced. The visit ended with a question-and-answer session.
