Modern battlefields and military asset management in the 21st century require technological solutions that minimize the need for human labor, streamline logistical processes, and protect personnel health. A leading Czech expert in advanced surface protection, NANO PLM+ s.r.o., is providing the Czech Ministry of Defense and the Czech Army with certified nanopolymers that are fundamentally changing the game in the field of infrastructure maintenance and heavy combat equipment.

Infrastructure and Facilities: From Barracks to Elite Military Airfields

The management of real estate under the Agency for Real Estate Management (AHNM) and the operation of the Ministry of Defense’s lodging and dining facilities face constant risks. Slippery surfaces in buildings, the risk of infections in barracks, and inefficient maintenance of food service facilities directly threaten operational readiness and drain tens of millions of crowns from the budget. NANO PLM+ s.r.o. possesses proven expertise that eliminates these risks at their very root.

Military barracks and restrooms: Nanopolymer surface coatings permanently eliminate bacteria, mold, and biofilms. They prevent large numbers of troops from being taken out of training due to quarantines.

Cafeterias and food service facilities: The protective coating repels grease, oils, and organic contaminants. It guarantees uncompromising hygiene standards and lightning-fast cleaning.

Workshops, service centers, and hangars: It withstands heavy military footwear, spills of operational fluids, oils, and harsh chemicals.

Military Airfields (Strategic Reference): A reference from the 24th Air Transport Base in Praha-Kbely, where the company successfully carried out deep cleaning and applied a certified anti-slip coating in the guardhouse for the AHNM, demonstrates its ability to meet the most demanding military requirements under high-security conditions.

Physical Training and Sports Facilities: The application of anti-slip and antibacterial nanocoatings in military gyms, training simulators, and training halls radically reduces the risk of injury to soldiers during intense training.

The Easy-to-clean technology from NANO PLM+ s.r.o. reduces the time needed to clean buildings by 40% and extends the service life of materials by up to 60%, resulting in direct savings for future budgets.

Military Technology: A Molecular Shield for a Swift Return to Action

In the field of military technology, nanotechnology is becoming a key force multiplier. Routine maintenance of equipment to remove mud, exhaust fumes, and operational contaminants typically requires hours of labor and an enormous amount of water. The real challenge, however, is CBRN contamination (chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats). Toxins and radioactive dust literally “soak into” the pores of conventional coatings, which drastically prolongs the decontamination process. The application of nanopolymers from NANO PLM+ s.r.o. creates an ultra-hydrophobic molecular shield on the equipment.

Rapid Decontamination and Crew Protection: Contaminants and chemical warfare agents remain only on the surface of the nanocoating; they do not penetrate the paint and can be washed off more quickly with minimal use of harsh chemicals. This significantly accelerates the safe return of military equipment and crews to action.

Extended Operational Readiness and Paint Lifespan: Special chemical-resistant military coatings (CARC) are subject to degradation due to UV radiation and corrosion, which destroys their key camouflage parameters (IR reflectivity). Nano-protection guarantees UV stability, prevents corrosion, and extends the service life of the paint by 60% without altering the matte finish of the equipment.

The system’s effectiveness has been successfully tested and demonstrated on heavy equipment (e.g., T-55 and T-55 AM2 series tanks). The significance and benefits for CBRN protection were also officially confirmed by the former Chief of the General Staff of the Czech Armed Forces, Army General Jiří Šedivý, who highlighted the material’s ability to remove unwanted deposits of radioactive fallout and chemical warfare agents extremely quickly.

A Guaranteed and Scientifically Proven Investment

Investing in NANO PLM+ s.r.o.’s technologies is not an expense, but a strategic cost-saving measure. The company guarantees top-notch quality, speed, and flexibility in implementation directly at military facilities. All nanopolymers used have undergone the most rigorous testing at leading Czech testing institutes.

Faculty of Civil Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague & Institute of Technical Sciences, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic: Long-term durability, water repellency, vapor permeability, and ease of cleaning have been confirmed.

Technical and Test Institute for Construction Prague (TZÚS): Certified slip-resistant properties in accordance with EU occupational safety standards.

National Institute of Public Health (SZÚ): Long-term antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antiviral properties of the surfaces have been verified.

By implementing solutions from NANO PLM+ s.r.o., the Ministry of Defense gains comprehensive economic benefits in the form of a 40% reduction in total operating costs for maintenance, a significant reduction in its carbon footprint, and, above all, the assurance that both personnel and equipment are protected by the technologies of tomorrow.
