Hydrophobic behavior
Reduce water wetting and support easier removal of water-borne residues.
SURFACE ENERGY ENGINEERING
Hydrophobic, oleophobic and easy-clean surfaces
Control contamination and cleaning behavior without losing sight of appearance, adhesion and process compatibility.
FUNCTIONAL DIRECTIONS
Surface performance is more than a contact angle
The best direction depends on the contaminant, cleaning method, substrate and expected service life.
Oleophobic and anti-fingerprint
Address oils, fingerprints and appearance on touched or visible parts.
Fluorine-free development
Evaluate alternative chemistries against the required function, durability and supply-chain documentation.
ENGINEERING VIEW
Evaluation around the final part
A reliable discussion connects surface energy with the component and its operating conditions.
Appearance and optics
Transparency, haze, gloss, color and texture where relevant.
Adhesion and durability
Cleaning, abrasion, humidity, chemical exposure and other agreed conditions.
Material documentation
Version-specific TDS, SDS and controlled-substance information for the intended market.
