easy-to-clean surfaces
The principle
- Is based on minimizing free surface energy with self-organizing anti-adhesion structures.
Product properties
- Suitable for metal, glass, ceramics, stone and plastic surfaces
- Simplest application (e.g. by spraying or dipping, liquid coating, room temperature or thermal drying)
- Transparent coating, good adhesion to the substrate without complicated pre-treatment
- Low surface energies: < 24 mN/m2 contact angle approx... 110°C against water and approx. 60°C against hexadecane
- Anti-adhesive and Easy - to – Clean characteristics, optional corrosive protection (for metals)
- Long-life inert surface protection with very good mechanical and chemical consistence
- Optional additional anti-bacterial characteristics or protection from moss, fungus and algae (algaecide and fungicide) is also possible
Effects
- Persistent hydophobation (moisture repellent). Also additional oleophobation (oil repellent), drip off behaviour towards water and organic fluids which sets new standards
- Anti-adhesive characteristics through extreme smoothing (e.g. in sanitary facilities)
- Low renewed or repeat pollution making cleaning much easier and less prone to bacterial adhesion
Further possible uses
- Sanitary facilities, baths and shower trays (non-smooth, on account of the loss of anti-slip), tiles, wash basins, bathroom fittings made of stainless steel and chrome, shower units, toilet seats, bathroom furnishings
- Building protection, construction industry, antigraffiti, facades, windows, doors, garages, entrance gates, distribution boxes
- Canteens, kitchens and household articles: cooking devices, ovens, pots and pans, industrial process foodstuffs and luxury foods: kneading machines, mixers, containers, filling plant
- Garden, leisure and sports equipments, garden furniture, lawnmowers, boots, exterior lighting
- Car industry: headlamps, windscreens, wheel rims, lacquer surfaces
- General vehicle industry: construction machines, tractors, military, camping and transport vehicles
