Polymer Hydrophobic & Oleophobic Coatings

Hydrophobic Polymer Coating

Aculon's hydrophobic polymer coating materials bond with many different types of polymer at the nano-scale to create hydrophobic easy-clean, water resistant, and anti-smudge coatings. Aculon's nanoscale hydrophobic polymer coating creates a hydrophobic (water-repellant) surface to repel water, dust, oil, and dirt on surfaces allowing for easy-clean polymer. Aculons' innovative hydrophobic coating technology is extremely easy to apply through many different methods, requiring no costly capitol equipment. A majority of Aculon's hydrophobic treatments have the added benefit of being oleophobic as well.

Oleophobic Polymer Treatment

Aculon also has a full range of oleophobic polymer coating technologies which bond with nearly all types of polymer. These oleophobic polymer treatments create an oleophobic, oil resistant, and anti-smudge surface. All of Aculon's oleophobic treatments are also hydrophobic.
