Material platforms for electrostatic control, condensation management, contamination resistance and application-specific formulation.
The portfolio covers electrostatic control, hydrophilic anti-fog, easy-clean surfaces and custom formulation. Technical selection is based on substrate, application method, cure, functional target and reliability requirements.
Transparent films with surface resistance adjustable from 104 to 107 Ω for semiconductor consumables, electronic packaging, clear plastic parts, films and industrial components.
Hydrophilic systems for safety eyewear, ski goggles, swimming eyewear and transparent components, aligned with current ISO routes and customer-retained EN anti-fog specifications.
Technology details →Easy-clean surfaces for water, oil and fingerprint contamination.
Technology details →Development for unusual substrates, combined functions or constrained coating processes.
R&D capabilities →Products are classified by antistatic, hydrophilic anti-fog and easy-clean functions. Applicable grades and release specifications are defined by controlled TDS and inspection documents for the substrate, appearance, application method, cure and service environment.

A distinct easy-clean grade selected by application window, slip, appearance and retained function after abrasion or chemical exposure.
Hydrophobic easy-clean material evaluated through contact angle, dry abrasion and functional retention after chemical exposure.
Fluorine-free easy-clean platform; functional verification and controlled-substance documentation are reviewed separately for the specified version and customer definition.
Formal specifications are governed by the approved TDS, inspection plan and agreed application conditions. Reports should identify the substrate, pretreatment, dry film thickness, cure, conditioning environment and test method.
The matrix identifies representative platform capability, standard methods, mandatory report conditions and the applicable release basis. Formal grade values are governed by controlled TDS, inspection specifications, COA or an approved finished-product report.
