Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers on CleanShield™ applications, technical parameters, B2B channels and surface-suitability guidance.
What is CleanShield™?
CleanShield™ is a transparent advanced surface-protection platform designed to support easier cleaning and maintenance across selected Solar PV, Stone & Tile, Property & Facility and Home applications.
How is CleanShield™ sold in Australia?
CleanShield™ follows a B2B channel model. Nusfun Pty Ltd supplies and supports dealers, retailers and service partners, who can then supply products or application services to end users.
What does CleanShield Solar do?
CleanShield Solar creates strongly hydrophobic surface behaviour on compatible panel glass, encouraging water beading and supporting rain-assisted removal of loose dust and surface contaminants.
Does CleanShield Solar make panels completely self-cleaning?
No. It supports rain-assisted surface cleaning, but inspection and routine maintenance may still be required depending on rainfall, panel angle, soiling and site conditions.
Does CleanShield™ increase solar output?
CleanShield™ does not claim or guarantee a specific solar-output or efficiency increase. The Solar PV positioning is hydrophobic surface protection and easier cleaning and maintenance.
Can CleanShield™ be used on porous natural stone?
CleanShield can be applied to selected porous natural stone including marble, limestone and travertine. Stone response varies, so small-area testing is recommended before full application.
Can CleanShield™ be used on tiles?
CleanShield can be used on selected ceramic and porcelain tile surfaces. Because tile finishes and porosity vary considerably, a small-area compatibility test is recommended before full application, especially on glazed, polished and low-porosity tiles.
How does CleanShield™ protect natural stone?
On selected porous stone, CleanShield can form a crystallised / sealing-type protective surface layer that helps reduce water, oil and everyday contaminants from penetrating the protected surface, facilitating subsequent cleaning.
Can CleanShield™ help with cooking oil or everyday stains on stone?
Yes. On suitable treated stone, CleanShield™ can help reduce penetration of oil and everyday contaminants at the protected surface and make subsequent cleaning easier. Performance varies by stone type, finish, porosity and application.
Is CleanShield™ waterproof?
CleanShield™ is water-resistant and can be strongly hydrophobic on suitable treated surfaces. It is not positioned as a structural waterproofing membrane.
How quickly does CleanShield™ dry?
The treated surface is typically surface-dry in approximately 8–10 minutes under normal conditions. Temperature, humidity, substrate and application thickness can affect this time.
How long does CleanShield™ take to fully cure?
Full curing is approximately 24 hours under normal conditions.
What is the cured hardness?
Hardness after normal curing is approximately 2H. Heat-cured hardness may reach up to 5H under suitable controlled curing conditions.
Where does Property & Facility fit?
Property & Facility is a core commercial application market focused on easier cleaning, reduced surface contamination and simplified maintenance across selected glass, tile, stainless steel and other compatible property surfaces.
How are CleanShield™ Home applications supplied?
CleanShield Home applications for selected bathroom glass, tiles, benchtops, stone and stainless steel surfaces are supplied through dealers, retailers and service partners.
Who supports CleanShield™ in Western Australia?
Sage Facilities Pty Ltd is CleanShield™’s authorised dealer and service partner in Western Australia, with a strong fit for property, cleaning and facility-maintenance applications.
