EXOCOATTM SH

Superhydrophobic Sol-Gel System

General Information:

EXOCOATTM SH is a sol-gel-based sphere technology. It can be used to produce superhydrophobic coatings with extreme water exclusion properties.

Description and Application:

EXOCOATTM SH is a unique 1K superhydrophobic sol-gel system that when formulated in water can be applied on mineral substrates as concrete, pavement, wall and stucco to get the so-called Lotus Effect. This effect is exemplified by a nearly invisible coating that has extreme repellence to water and aqueous solutions. With the contact angle of 140° water droplets bounce back from the surface and will roll down immediately upon touch.  As a result, the wall remains dry, clean and will behave as efficient barrier  against water. It will not form a film and as a result the substrate stays breathable.

Procedure to use EXOCOAT™ SH

  • Dilute EXOCOATTM SH 1:10 with water

  • Spray, brush or roll the product on the substrate

  • Let it dry at room temperature for a day

Features:

  • Spheres for waterbased translucent superhydrophobic coatings

  • Lotus effect with self-cleaning performance

  • High water contact angles: >140°
