Material Development Focuses on Cost Efficiency Durability and Improving Stability
Due to high wettability and water resistance, hydrophobic and superhydrophobic materials are gaining significance as water repellant layers, for removal of oil from water, and as self-cleaning layers in various industries. Moreover, due to high water-repellant characteristics, they can function as anti-corrosion, anti-microbial and ultraviolet (UV) resistance materials. It has been adopted for its various attributes in several industries such as building & construction and food & beverages, manufacturing, and oil & gas to name a few. Hydrophobic and superhydrophobic materials have longer durable performance than conventional anti-corrosion and anti-microbial protection systems and hence are gaining in prominence.
R&D activities are increasing, especially focusing on investigating the potential of nanocomposite materials, enhancing the performance of metallic hydrophobic and superhydrophobic materials, enhancing the quality of PPE, developing recyclable polymeric hydrophobic and superhydophobic technology and cost-efficient fabrication processes.
In addition to new product development, the technology domain has also been witnessing partnerships and acquisitions aimed at providing enhanced products to companies and also growth opportunities in new geographies.
