“Rising Demand for Self-Cleaning and Anti-Fouling Surfaces across Industries”
- There is a growing need for superhydrophobic coatings in self-cleaning applications across electronics, construction, and automotive sectors
- These coatings reduce the adhesion of water, dust, and contaminants, extending product lifespan and minimizing maintenance
- In construction, they are used on solar panels and glass surfaces to maintain energy efficiency and visual clarity
- The coatings are increasingly adopted in electronics to protect against water and dust damage
- For instance, Apple integrates hydrophobic coatings into iPhones to enhance water resistance and reduce repair costs
