Why is water repellency essential in life?


In short: Fluorine free, high performance, low sliding angle (self-clean), acid-resistant.
Unlike traditional waterproofing technologies that rely on low surface tension coating materials, Atop Materials is dedicated to creating nanoscale structures to achieve superhydrophobicity (ultra water-repellency). This approach replaces the need for low surface tension but highly toxic PFAS-related materials. Innovatively, we utilize 100% fluorine-free raw materials that are already produced and utilized in industries on a large scale for decades, and ingeniously control their proportion with water to generate a highly distinctive structure.

This innovative superhydrophobic nanoscale material can play a significant role in numerous fields, including but not limited to:

Outdoor Apparel and Gear: Used in manufacturing waterproof yet breathable jackets, shoes, and tents, offering exceptional water resistance while maintaining comfort.
Building Materials: Applied to roofs, walls, and windows to enhance a building's waterproofing and anti-fouling properties, reducing maintenance costs.
Automotive Industry: Used as an external coating for vehicles, such as windshields and bodywork, to improve dirt and easy-clean properties, while also enhancing the durability of the vehicles.
Electronics: Protects smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices from water damage, extending their lifespan.
Medical Equipment: Applied as an external coating on medical instruments to improve hygiene standards and ease of cleaning, reducing the risk of cross-infection.
Aerospace: Used on the exteriors of aircraft and spacecraft to improve anti-corrosion properties and reduce the impact of hail or other weather elements.
Marine and Oceanic Structures: Enhances the corrosion resistance and anti-fouling capabilities of ships and marine platforms, reducing maintenance needs.
Energy Sector: Applied to the surfaces of solar panels and wind turbines to reduce the accumulation of dust and debris, improving efficiency.
Textiles: Used in home decor such as curtains and carpets, providing stain resistance and easy cleaning characteristics.
Industrial Manufacturing: Serves as a coating for various machinery and tools, enhancing wear resistance and anti-corrosion properties, extending their lifespan.
Due to its environmentally friendly and efficient nature, this material demonstrates vast potential for application across various domains.
