Preserving Kashi Math with Nanotechnology: A Modern Approach to Ancient Protection

Introduction

Kashi Math, Banganga in Mumbai, India is a cherished cultural and historical landmark, renowned for its beautiful architecture and spiritual significance. Over time, natural wear and tear has threatened its pristine condition, prompting a need to explore innovative preservation methods. 

In this project, Vetro Power’s Service Team in India was approached & employed state-of-the-art nanocoating technology application on wood to safeguard the temple from environmental and biological damage, with a particular focus on the dome's wooden structure.

Why Vetro Power Natural Wood Protect Nanocoating?

Vetro Power’s Natural Wood Protect was chosen specifically for its unique features on enhancing the longevity of wood with superhydrophobic, oleophobic & termite prevention, for:

1. Enhanced Durability: Our nanocoatings are highly resistant to wear and tear, significantly extending the life of the coated surfaces.
2. Water and Dirt Repellency: These coatings create a superhydrophobic surface, preventing water and dirt from adhering to the structure and causing damage and prevent the growth of fungus and moss.
3. UV Protection: The coating protects against ultraviolet radiation, reducing the effects of sun damage.
4. Anti-Termite Protection: The nanocoating used in this project also includes anti-termite properties, crucial for protecting wooden structures from termite infestation eating the wood over time.

Application Process

1. Preparation: The temple surfaces were carefully cleaned, and minor repairs were made to ensure an even and effective application.

2. Nanocoating Application: Using specialized equipment, we applied the nanocoating evenly across the temple's interiors, with particular emphasis on the dome's intricate wooden structure.

3. Final Touches: After application, the coating was left to cure and bond over 24 hours, forming a protective barrier that integrates seamlessly with the temple's materials, with no change in look or feel of the surface.

Benefits

• Cultural Preservation: By protecting the temple, we ensure its historical and cultural essence remains intact for future generations.

• Cost-effective: The reduced maintenance and restoration costs make Vetro Power’s nanocoating an effective & economically viable solution.

• Extended Lifespan: The nanocoating will significantly extend the lifespan of the temple’s materials, reducing the frequency of restorations; affecting shutting down the temple for visitors.

• Environmental Protection & Sustainable Preservation: Vetro Power’s Nanocoating reduces the need for harsh chemicals and frequent repairs, contributing to environmental sustainability.
