SiO2 Based Nano-Coating For Plastics, Painted Surfaces & Precious Metals — UHC-PM
The silicon dioxide (SiO2) based non-stick ultra hydrophobic spray coating is suitable for smooth surfaces of plastic, precious metal or painted surfaces because of their specific formulations. The hydro- and oleophobic effect causes the particles of contamination such as grease and oil, lime-scale and materials from environmental pollution to adhere less to the substrates or and allow them to be easily removed from the nano-coating, i.e. without applying abrasive agents (“Easy–clean” effect).
Examples of use of ultra hydrophobic spray:
- Plastic surfaces in sanitary areas (plexiglass shower cabinet)
- Automotive paint
- Painted aluminum rims
- Stainless steel surfaces
Product characteristics:
- Strong hydrophobicity
- Strong non-stick properties
- Excellent easy-clean effect on contamination and lime-scale
Other properties:
- Food-safe (inert)
- Invisible to the human eye (coating thickness: 100-150 nm)
- Permanent (UV-stable, very resistant to abrasion)
- Temperature resistant
- Breathable
- Simple application (do-it-yourself)
- Chemical resistant
Advantages of SiO2 based ultra hydrophobic spray in comparison with competitive products
Permanence and longevity:
- the UV-stability enables functionality for a number of years, approximately the lifetime of the coated surface
Many competitive products are damaged slowly by sunlight
Abrasion-resistant easy-to-clean effect:
- a permanent chemical bond with the substrate enables excellent abrasion resistance
Many competitive products can be easily removed by abrasion
Chemical stability:
- The product is resistant to almost all standard household and industrial cleaners (with the exception of concentrated lye)
Many competitive products must be reapplied after cleaning the surface
Application:
Simple do-it-yourself application makes it suitable for end-customers as well:
- Industrial: Available as polish-coat systems or spray-coating systems.
- Manual: Application with circular motion using a clean paper, linen or microfibre cloth.
The nano-coating is completely networked and hardened after 24 hours. The easy-to-clean effect can only be tested after this hardening phase
Q&A
1. After coating a plastic, you can’t tell the difference between the uncoated substrate!
Additives that trigger a beading effect can be used in the production of plastics. In this case, they should be removed through plasma treatment. After a longer period of time, these additives break down on their own since they are usually not UV-stable.
Principle: It is better to coat an older plastic than a new plastic!
2. Can I also coat car paint with UHC-PM?
Yes! This product is great for car body to generate an anti-scratch and anti-UV damage nano-layer. It also reduce car-wash frequency.
3. Can I also coat aluminum wheels with UHC-PM?
Yes!
4. Can I also coat stainless steel surfaces with UHC-PM?
Yes!
