A hydrophobic paint is a thin layer of nano particles which can be applied to surfaces and make them water repellent. It causes an almost imperceptibly thin layer of air to form on top of a surface. At Protexion, we have developed a family of super hydrophobic paint for both consumer and industrial indoors and outdoors — that completely repels water and heavy oils.

The super hydrophobic paints are also found in nature; they appear on plant leaves, such as the Lotus leaf. This paint can be sprayed onto objects to make them waterproof. The spray is anti-corrosive and anti-icing; it has the ability to clean; it can be used to secure circuits and grids. The paints also make removal of salt deposits possible without using fresh water. Furthermore, superhydrophobic paints have the ability to harvest other minerals from seawater brine with ease.

How hydrophobic paint can be applied?

There are so many different ways to apply hydrophobic paint to make it water repellent. Spray-on and wipe-on methods are used mainly for the automotive market. The chemical ingredients can also be added to a material or product before, ...
... during or after production. Protexion offers the right solution for every situation. From ready-made products to concentrates or raw-materials: you can add our hydrophobic paint whenever it best fits your requirements.

Super hydrophobic paints rely for their repellence on a delicate micro or nano structure — this structure is easily destroyed by abrasion or cleaning; thus, the paints are often used on items like electronic components that are not susceptible to wear. Objects subject to constant friction, such as hulls of vessels, will require constant re-application of such a coating to maintain a high degree of performance.

The best thing of this hydrophobic paint is you don’t even see it; it is totally transparent and does not affect appearance of the surface. The hydrophobic paint can be sprayed on objects to make them waterproof. This paint used for concrete substrates probable to reach highest compound growth rate in forecast period.

Industries where hydrophobic coating used

Outdoors or indoors – a hydrophobic paint can be used in both domains.
1. Construction: Keep synthetic, metallic and other building materials clean and safe from corrosion by applying a durable water repellent.
2. Food-industry: Keeping high-touch surfaces like doors, furniture and work-utensils clean is vital for the wellbeing of workers, patients and/or guests. Hydrophobic paint makes it easier to clean and disinfect, but can also keep germs and bacteria at bay.
3. Automotive industry: When it comes to hydrophobic paint, vehicles of all kinds offer many possibilities for application. A durable water repellent does not only keep cars, boats and planes safe from water and dirt, it also preserves the pristine look of a fresh paintjob and protects the surface from scratches, UV-rays and corrosion. Ceramic coating has been one of the most common applications of nano safety for automobile, boat, and aircraft.
4. Textiles: It is made to repel water and dirt. Workwear, sportswear or everyday clothing – Protexion offers durable water repellent for creating smart textiles that are made to last. The paints are suitable for glass and plastic surfaces such as windows, to keep them last longer clean.
