Lotusan

There are things that never stop to amaze me. One is the ingenuity of humans. A few years ago I saw a program on Dutch tv, Noorderlicht, that had two Germans show a paint they had developed that had characteristics they took from the Lotus plant. They saw that the leaves didn’t seem to get wet. Water didn’t cling to the surface and rolled off taking dirt away with it. This they made into a paint and I recently discovered this website where you can buy it. It’s called Lotusan and you can paint the outside of your home and it will basicly clean itself with every shower.

The lotus effect


They also developed another paint that filters the air!! Talk about innovation eh!
