Bionic facade coatings
StoLotusan - for clean and dry facades
In addition to the excellent building physical properties, Lotusan facade paints and renders also incorporate the unique
Lotus-Effect. The Lotus-Effect ensures that beautiful facades remain beautiful for longer. It enhances the self-cleaning effect: dirt runs off with the rain. The facade stays clean and dry on a sustained basis.
Modelled on nature
What sounds like state-of-the-art technology is in fact modelled on nature, as this effect was first discovered on the leaves of the lotus plant. The leaves are immediately clean and dry after every rainfall, dirt particles are unable to obtain a hold. Science has lifted the lid on this secret. And we have incorporated the natural self-cleaning effect (lotus effect) of the lotus plant into modern facade coatings.

facade coatings with the Lotus-Effect.
The result: dirt runs off with the rain. Facades stay clean for longer. Algae and fungal attack are sustainably stemmed.
