Markets in Everything: Superhydrophobic Coating
The product NeverWet provides water repellent, anti-corrosion, anti-bacterial, anti-icing and self-cleaning properties to anything it coats. Your stuff will never get wet again, check out the video above.
" Unlike traditional plungers, the Clear-n-Clean Plunger is superhydrophobic – it never gets wet, and it repels virtually all germs and bacteria from its surface."
Interesting that this technology came from a contract steel manufacturer -- but they took the plunge into nano.
My first thought is that when you put this on clothing, you won't be able to wash it. My second thought was that you may not need to wash it!
I guess a t-shirt coated with this stuff would be super moisture wicking - or maybe not, maybe it would just keep the moisture next to your skin. Fascinating, can't wait to see what they do with this!
Want.
ReplyDeleteWant now.
Absolutely stunning.
ReplyDeleteBut is it organic and environmentally safe?
Interestingly enough the NeverWet site map page has no obvious links for retail purchase of the product...
ReplyDelete"But is it organic and environmentally safe?"...
Who knows but the site map page has a link for requesting the White Paper on this product...

My third thought is don't get this stuff on your skin or inhale it!
