Main features:
• High durability (12,000 cycles of abrasion steel wool with a load of 10 N);
• Stress resistance (the coating can withstand thermal shock from minus 40 to plus 85 ° C, 30
cycles, one cycle of 5 minutes);
• Light resistance (72 hours at 20 cm from the lamp power of 15 watts, generating ultraviolet
radiation group B);
• Humidity resistance (72 hours at 95% humidity and 50 ° C)
• Resistance to organic solvents (250 cycles friction cargo weight 0.5 kg, abrasion strip length
l=15 mm, the velocity v = 20 mm / s, the spattering of methanol every 50 cycles);
• Resistance to emulsions (Nivea Sun Spray SPF30, holding at 80 ° C and 80% RH for 24
hours);
• Acid resistance (pH 4.6, 48 hours aging);
• Inert to salt water (maintaining in the 5% NaCl solution 10 days at 35° C with the test result
every 3 days);
• The antibacterial properties (bacteria do not multiply in the oleophobic surface);
• Low light reflection in combination with antireflection coatings
Long-term Durability –
the breakthrough for any
professional touch application
Results of the durability test of oleophobic coatings obtained by various technologies are shown
on Fig.2. Tests are made with iron wool under a load of 1 kg on an area of 1 cm2.
