GermanyLow Surface Energy = Big Droplet Angle = Low Adhesion Power =
From MEGA to NANO
We adopted the principle of MEHATOP N lacquering from natural role
models. Many plants use their evolutionary, unique surface characteristics
to protect their structure from environmental forces like fungi or algae
growth. The surface of MEHATOP N treated membranes is designed in a
similar way. A special nanostructure minimises surface energy. The unique
outcome of low surface energy is a significant reduction in the adhesive
power of the surface when it comes to other molecules with higher
surface energy such as water, dirt or dust.

“The magic is in the details”, as Theodor Fontane wrote in 1893.
When producing membranes for mega projects like stadiums or
shopping malls, it is vital for even the tiniest detail to be built to
the highest quality standards.
In order to guarantee optimal quality we took Mr. Fontane‘s saying
to heart and enhanced the nanostructure of ourlacquering, the
tiniest detail of our membranes.
In difference to the phrase, however, the self-cleaning structure
has little to do with magic: it‘s science, long hours of research
and we‘ve called it:
Non lacquered surface
The low adhesive power towards disperse and polar liquid mole-
cules is the best demonstration of this effect. Materials with low
surface energy do not attract a drop of liquid as strongly as
materials with high surface energy. Therefore the droplet form is
more stable.
This effect is called hydrophobia, and it is measured using the
droplet angle test. A higher droplet angle indicates stronger
hydrophobic capacity, which results in better self-cleaning
capacity of the surface.
Our new VALMEX® MEHATOP N membranes were developed on
the strength of more than 60 years of experience with fabrics. Dust,
dirt and other environmental influences cannot attach themselves
to Mehlers Texnologies‘ newly developed VALMEX® MEHATOP N
lacquer, and are rinsed off with ease - or by the next rain.
The result is a smooth finish to the surface of your architectural
design, which will stay in mint condition. We know just how good
our new innovation is, and we grant a 20 year warranty on all
Mehlers Texnologies‘ membranes lacquered with MEHATOP® N.
Mehler Texnologies‘ VALMEX® membranes with imple-mented MEHATOP® N top coat lacquering system include TiO2 nano-titanium and maximised PVDF content, but can nonetheless be welded without additives or other welding preparation like grinding.
