A hydrophobic paint is the nanoscopic coating whose main function is to protect the surface from the water and repel. A hydrophobic coating is a thin surface layer. Hydrophobic paints are made from composite materials where one component provides the roughness and the other provides low surface energy.
There are plenty of hydrophobic surfaces in nature, including lotus leaves, butterfly wings, duck feathers, etc. And it has also many industrial applications as it protects the coated equipment or material from corrosion, contamination prevention and protection from other hazardous chemicals. The water repellence of the surface is the important factor to be considered here because a super hydrophobic surface is that surface whose water contact angle is more than 150 degrees. The coating can be sprayed onto objects to make them waterproof. The spray is anti-corrosive and has cleaning capabilities; and can be used to protect circuits and grids.
Hydrophobic paints have usage in automotive industries where these are used on the windshield of the cars to prevent the water clogging. In medical industry, these coatings are also used in surgical instruments due to their extreme resistance and anti bacterial properties. Hydrophobic paints depend greatly on a delicate micro or nano structure for their repellence—these surfaces are easily damaged by abrasion or cleaning; therefore, the coatings are mostly used on things such as electronic components, which are not prone to wear.
Inspired by nature, the hydrophobic surface can be derived in two ways. In the first approach, the solid surface is chemically enhanced with a low-surface material. In the second approach, nano and micro-scale structures are created on the layer to stop water from completely being in contact with the surface. The common base used for hydrophobic paint is silica due to the reason that silica is gel based and can be used on almost all of the surfaces.
The hydrophobic paint protects industrial size wooden surfaces by a simple spray on application and it lasts up to 12 months. Protexion is the leading manufacturer and supplier of hydrophobic paints, including wood waterproofing products in Maharashtra & Gujarat, we guarantee high quality and effective results of all our products. Our hydrophobic coating and paint create a molecular layer that water will not bond with, these surfaces immediately become water-resistant, anti-smudge coatings and very easy to clean.
