High-Performance Fluoropolymer Coatings for Water and Oil Repellency
CyclAFlor® amorphous fluoropolymers have exceptionally low surface energy, chemical inertness, and optical clarity. Surfaces coated with CyclAFlor will cause water, oils, and other contaminants to bead up and roll off rather than adhere, protecting electronic components, optical devices, medical instruments, and industrial materials from fouling, corrosion, and performance degradation. Soluble in perfluorinated solvents, CyclAFlor oil-repellent polymers can be applied using standard spin- and dip-coating techniques to produce thin, uniform, defect-free protective coatings . This combination of hydrophobic and oleophobic performance and processing versatility makes CyclAFlor an ideal choice for companies seeking fluoropolymer coatings for critical applications.
Key Performance Benefits
Optical Transparency
CyclAFlor transparent fluoropolymer coatings maintain exceptional clarity across DUV to NIR wavelengths, providing protection without sacrificing optical performance. Smartphones, tablets, lenses, and photonic devices benefit from coatings that ensure clarity and performance while protecting screens, mirrors, sensors, and internal components from fingerprints, oils, moisture, and other contaminants.
Improved Surface Protection and Durability
Treated surfaces stay cleaner longer, resisting dust, dirt, and particle buildup. This extends the service life and improves the long-term performance of sensitive electronics and medical devices while reducing the frequency of manual cleaning.
Corrosion and Chemical Resistance
Chemically inert and thermally stable, CyclAFlor coatings protect sensitive assemblies from corrosion and fouling and remain effective even in harsh environments — making them among the best water- and oil-repellent materials for a wide range of technical and industrial applications.
Ease of Application
CyclAFlor fluoropolymers are easily dissolved in CyclaSolv® and other perfluorinated solvents, enabling thin and uniform water repellent coatings using standard spinning and dipping techniques. This ensures efficient and scalable production of high-quality, defect-free surfaces.
Innovative Surface Protection
CyclAFlor amorphous fluoropolymers combine optical transparency, chemical resistance, and liquid repellency in a single material platform. By forming thin, durable, and defect-free coatings, they protect sensitive electronics, optics, and medical devices from moisture, oils, and contaminants — while remaining easy to process with standard solvent-based methods.
