TCM Asia founder Andreas Ruthe
TCM Asia was in 2003 the first company introducing Thailand to the new innovations of Nano technology and high tech protective surface coatings. Now in 2012 we are proud to present the result of 4 years research and development in an ultimate tropical approved protection solution for all kind of tiles and natural flooring based on molecular Silicate Nano Technology, available with exclusivity only from TCM Asia Co., Ltd.
What is the breakthrough in the TCM Asia Molecular Nano technology? In the first stage of Nano technology, materials get simply produced into smaller sizes and bonded to a surface by using a Sol Gel process. Now, we reach second stage of Nano technology and we go again a step smaller. TCM Asia’s Nano coating is now a water based solution of Silicate molecules instead of particles and the so named ..chemical,, bonding process to the surface is based on the Angstrom force. A chemical bonding is an attraction between atoms. TCM molecule stone technology will produce a 3 Nanometer thick, invisible, permanent layer of Silicium substrate on the surface. First time you have a unique solution available, fulfilling all your demands to protect natural & artificial stones in tropical environment indoor or outdoor. TCM Asia Nano molecular stone coat will be — your final decision …….
Give us a surface .. and we give you a solution Our mission: TCM is looking worldwide for the latest technologies in surface cleaning, coating and conservation to fight against environmental damaging on all visible surfaces of your home, boat, car ….

MARBLE
Pool Special
The problems of swimming pools made by marble or travertine Swimming pools and water features made from marble or travertine will mostly get problems with the surface after some years. Water chemicals will release the soft parts of the stone and the surface can become so rough that you could easy hurt your skin and damage your swim suits, Often the joints are made from grout material and not Silicone, so peeled out parts show up. Especially on Infinity corners this is the entry point for water behind the stone, causing discoloration and Efflorescence. We can transform your pool back to an eye catching highlight of your development by professional resurfacing and top coating with TCM Molecule coating or 2 component clear Nano lacquer for high gloss.
