Repellency treatments are a category of products designed to protect various surfaces from both water and oil-based liquids. These treatments create a non-stick barrier that repels liquids, preventing stains and other forms of damage. Metal and glass surfaces, as well as those made from sapphire or other materials, are often exposed to both water and oil-based liquids. Repellency treatments that are both hydrophobic and oleophobic can help prevent damage caused by these substances, ensuring that surfaces remain clean and free of stains.
In addition to protecting against water and oil-based liquids, repellency treatments with hydrophobic and oleophobic properties can also resist other types of contaminants, such as dirt, dust, and grime. This can be particularly useful in industrial and commercial settings, where surfaces are exposed to a wide range of substances.
Aculon's repellency treatment technology bonds with many different surfaces at the nano-scale to create easy-clean, superhydrophobic (water-repelling) and oleophobic (oil repelling), anti-smudge coatings. These coatings are currently being used on metals, polymers, glass, and many other materials for numerous applications
