Superhydrophobic Coating

Posted on November 14, 2011 by Alaska

I love living in the 21st Century.

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…

Videos here.

They probably took the vids private because there is an issue of intellectual property rights with their wunder-goo, which would also explain why you can’t buy it.

Actually, chocolate syrup isn’t the best testing material, just one of the most stark. For a real test, I would mix up a saturated solution of Trisodium Phosphate (TSP) and warm water, then dye it with food color, and dribble THAT on a wunder-goo coated item. If, after a few minutes of such dribbling, there was zero coloration of the test object, I might be more of a believer, but there are more ways to fake this demonstration than I can list. As far as I know, Scotch-gard will do the same thing if you spray several layers on, with drying time in between applications.

The remaining video has a popup saying “available in 2012”, so the patents/copyright/whatever may not be finished yet, or maybe it’s still waiting on final EPA approval or something.

But if it’s as good as advertised, and reasonably priced, then I want!
