New Fluorine Free Water and Oil Repellent Materials Exceled in Dynamic Properties

Environmentally friendly material Sliding angle is very low & water- and oil-repellent material

Background

The organic/inorganic hybrid materials with nano-sized phase separation lead to give excellent water and oil repellency, which including no fluorine element.

The hybrid material has excellent slippery with sliding angle of 3 degree to oily droplet of hexadecane.

Characteristics

  • ■The hybrid materials composed of PSQ, siloxane, epoxy and urethane.
  • ■The hybrid film can be coated to various material without primer treatment.
  • ■Phase separating structure of hydrophilic/hydrophobic with several nm in size causes in water and oil repellent.

Proposal from KRI

KRI will propose R&D project for the functional application using the fluorine free water and oil repellent material.
 Application fields are health care, medical material & equipment, automotive and housing.
