NanoProtech, a new waterproof coating for electrical components out of South Africa:
NanoProtech protects electronic and electric devices and installations from humidity and wet conditions of all kinds. It guarantees the electric conductivity of connection assemblies and contacts even under water, without leading to the otherwise inevitable short circuits or flash overs.
Nanoprotech uses the most advanced nanotechnology to deliver unparalleled results. Significantly prolonging the service life of domestic and industrial machinery by simply protecting it from corrosion and water damage.
Intelligent and dynamic, the coating ensures a water repellent barrier at all times. When components are attached, the coating ‘opens up’ allowing ion exchange. Detaching components then actions the coating into ‘closing up’ over the newly exposed metal surfaces to prevent short-circuiting.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
