Hydrophilic Gold Coatings
Aculon’s patented hydrophilic coating treatments are capable of functionalizing gold to have increased surface energy and improved wetting characteristics. Improve the performance of virtually any product utilizing gold via Aculon’s easy-to-apply hydrophilic treatments. Together we make your gold surface hydrophilic!
Water Wetting Gold. Long lasting performance.
Aculon's hydrophilic gold coating technologies bond with metal at the nano-scale to create a highly hydrophilic functionalized surface. The nanoscale coating creates a hydrophilic (water-attracting) surface to attract water and allow it to easily wick across the surface of the gold. Aculon's innovative hydrophilic coating technology is extremely easy to apply through many different methods, requiring no costly capitol equipment or complex application procedures. As with all metals, gold is naturally hydrophilic, with liquid contact angles less than 90 degrees. Aculon technology routinely boasts liquid contact angles around 10 degrees. Want to learn more?
