Liquid-repellent coating

Liquid-repellent coating technology is a type of technology that seeks to impart liquid repellant properties to objects made of diverse materials, including polymers, metals, fabrics, leather, ceramics, glass, paper, etc.

This type of technology can also be referred to as Hydrophobic Coating technology when treatment is imparted to repel water more specifically.

The technology is often reliant on advances in Chemistry and the newly emerging field of Nanotechnology. Treatment techniques involve physical vapor deposition and gas-phase polymerization processes.

Early pioneers and suppliers of this technology include companies such as P2i of Oxfordshire, UK and Liquipel of Santa Ana, California.
