QUARTZ99: Understanding NANOLAB’s Base-Coat System
Learn why QUARTZ99 is a base coat rather than a stand-alone hydrophobic finish, and what needs confirmation before a layered installation.

A different role in the coating system
NANOLAB QUARTZ99 is presented as a layerable quartz base coat. It is not hydrophobic on its own. Its role should therefore be distinguished from a top coat selected for water behaviour or slickness.
Do not judge the base coat’s purpose solely by a beading demonstration. The completed system must be assessed according to the role of each product.
Plan a certified, controlled installation
The published instructions require a NANOLAB Certified Installer and an air-conditioned application area with low temperature and humidity, away from direct wind. Prepare the paint properly and work in the specified manageable sections using suitable applicators and levelling towels.
Confirm the top-coat pairing and intercoat procedure before starting. The public page contains different timing statements, so the current written installation guidance should be obtained for the exact combination rather than choosing a convenient interval.
Keep claims and records precise
Do not turn a base-coat description into an unsupported guarantee against stone chips or scratches. Record the products, sequence, application dates and aftercare for the completed system. Maintenance often concerns the outermost layer, while repairs can affect the layers below. Use the QUARTZ99 product page as a starting point and resolve the specific system details with NANOLAB.
