CyclAFlor® Applications
Repel Water and Oils with CyclAFlor® Coatings
CyclAFlor amorphous fluoropolymers are renowned for their extremely low surface energy, making them ideal for creating coatings that effectively repel both water and oils. Benefits include:
Optical Transparency
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, and moisture.
Enhanced Durability
The hydrophobic (water-repellent) and oleophobic (oil-repellent) nature of CyclAFlor coatings helps protect surfaces from moisture and oil-based contaminants, extending the lifespan and maintaining the cleanliness of coated materials.
Improved Surface Protection
These coatings provide a protective barrier that prevents the adhesion of dirt, dust, and other particles, reducing the need for frequent cleaning and maintenance. Hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings on medical instruments and devices prevent contamination and ensure hygienic surfaces.
Corrosion Resistance
In electronic devices, these water- and oil-repellent coatings protect sensitive components from moisture and contaminants, improving reliability and performance.
Enhanced Performance in Harsh Environments
The chemically inert nature of these fluoropolymers ensures that the coatings remain effective even in harsh chemical environments, providing reliable protection in a wide range of applications.
Ease of Application
The high solubility of CyclAFlor fluoropolymers in perfluorinated solvents allows for the application of very thin, uniform, and durable coatings using standard spinning and dipping techniques. This ensures efficient production and high-quality finishes.
CyclAFlor amorphous fluoropolymers offer superior water- and oil-repellent properties combined with optical transparency, chemical inertness, and ease of application. Let’s explore the benefits of CyclAFlor coatings for your water- and oil-repellency needs. Contact us today to learn more.
