DuraSemper™ is an easy-to-apply ultra-robust high-performing surface coating solution from Nanostratus that has been developed to survive severe environmental conditions. The durability of superhydrophobic coatings is a well-known problem that scientists, researchers, and industries around the world have been actively trying to solve. Several factors like sand and wind abrasion, chemical reactivity, UV exposure, humidity, temperature variations and wear and tear due to manual handling can lead to loss of super(de)wetting performance. These factors make superhydrophobic coatings very easy to abrade and lead to unsatisfactory real-world performance.

DuraSemper™ has been specifically designed to address the durability performance of water-repelling super(de)wetting coatings. Rotary abrasion test based on ASTM D4060 standard demonstrates more than 500 cycles of harsh cyclic abrasion performance which is equivalent to unaffected coating performance for over 5 years under minimal abrasion. A uniformly thick DuraSemper™ coating can be applied to any surface with minimal loss of transparency or visual alterations and used for obtaining self-cleaning, anti-microbial / anti-viral properties, and preventing the surface from moisture degradation. The contact angle for surfaces treated with DuraSemper™ coating exceeds 150° with very low sliding angles of 1-2°, making it a perfect choice for industries looking for durable water repellent solutions and superhydrophobic coatings. This product is ready for demonstration, testing, purchase, and deployment. Interested in DuraSemper™ or want to see the coating in action: Contact Us!

Some key features of DuraSemper™:

• Ultra-durability: DuraSemper™ is designed for applications requiring high durability, longer coating life, and surfaces exposed to harsh environments. With a capacity to sustain 500 cycles of harsh cyclic abrasion, DuraSemper™ ensures 5+ years of stable coating performance under minimal abrasion while also providing resistance to chemical wear.
• Waterproofing: DuraSemper™ keeps everything dry, no matter what surface or material is coated
• Corrosion prevention: Active repelling of not just water but all aqueous-based mixtures like seawater, aqueous acids and bases, tea, coffee, milk, and the likes
• Anti-icing: With no water droplets sticking to the surface coated with DuraSemper™, icing or frosting of the surface is either eliminated or super easy to clean
• Viral and bacterial protection: Water repellency also ensures aerosol droplets containing viruses or bacteria never actually contact the surface providing complete protection against pathogens
• Self-cleaning: Repels mud and dirty water keeping the coating always fresh and clean. Even if some dirt settles on the surface, a low-pressure water flow can be used to return the original state of the coating maintaining a clean work environment
• Product life extension and cost-cutting: Degradation of products from water, moisture, and other aqueous-based liquids is common in the industry and everyday life often requiring maintenance or replacement of parts increasing manufacturing costs significantly. DuraSemper™ acts as a protective layer saving thousands of dollars by optimizing manufacturing processes and incorporating sustainability
• Coat anything: DuraSemper™ can be coated on any surface. Some examples include PPE, clothing, footwear, hardware, tools, equipment, vehicles, motors, connectors, sensors and printed circuit boards, construction materials like roofing tiles, concrete, timber, bricks, stone, etc.

DuraVitrum™ is an ultra-transparent low surface energy optical coating solution from Nanostratus. This product is specifically designed for applications where water repellency is required while maintaining a very high level of transparency and minimal to no haze. This makes DuraVitrum™ an excellent choice for automotive windshields, glassware, construction, and housing windows, mirrors and glass panels. In research-based applications, DuraVitrum™ offers long-term reliability and accuracy for sensors where waterproofing is required. Haze and transmission values based on ASTM D1003 standardized test shows more than 100% transmission and 0–0.25 haze value.

Transmission values are even higher than bare glass/substrates, due to anti-reflective properties generated by nanoparticles suspended in DuraVitrum™ coating suspension which self assembles when the surface is coated.

Some key features of DuraVitrum™:

• Ultra-transparency: DuraVitrum™ is specifically designed for surfaces requiring high optical transparency and no haze. Surfaces coated with DuraVitrum™ offer even higher transmission than bare surfaces for some substrates due to the anti-reflective property of nanoparticles suspended in the coating solution.
• Waterproofing: DuraVitrum™ keeps everything dry, no matter what surface or material is coated
• Corrosion prevention: Active repelling of not just water but all aqueous-based mixtures like seawater, aqueous acids and bases, tea, coffee, milk, and the likes

• Coating applications: DuraVitrum™ can be coated on any transparent surface or those requiring high transmission for best surface finishing. Some examples include ophthalmic lenses, windowpanes, automotive windshields, optical sensors and cameras, solar panels, and the likes.

DuraOmnis™ is the ultra-low surface energy coating solution from Nanostratus which combats the spread of the majority of everyday liquids including water, oils, alcohols, and the likes. DuraOmnis™ has been developed with applications where repellency to multi-liquid systems or mixtures is desired and can be particularly useful for applications where oil degradation is highly likely including valves, tubing, pipes, and oil-field sensors. DuraOmnis™ prevents binding of these low surface tension liquids to its surface resulting in contact angles of more than 150° for most oils. DuraOmnis™ offers a substantial amount of savings on the replacement of degraded parts and maintenance costs of surfaces deteriorated due to liquid contamination. Interested in DuraOmnis™? This technology is still under the research and development phase and more information on availability and demonstration can be obtained by reaching us: Contact Us!

Some key features of DuraOmnis™:

• Repel everything: DuraOmnis™ is specifically designed for surfaces requiring repellence to multi-liquid systems like oils and alcohols in addition to repelling water. Surfaces coated with DuraOmnis™ can not only give more than 150° contact angle for water but also several other low surface tension liquids.
• Liquid proofing: DuraOmnis™ keeps everything dry from everything, no matter what surface or material is coated and what liquid is wetting the surface. Active repelling of not just water but all aqueous-based mixtures like seawater, aqueous acids and bases, tea, coffee, milk, and oils like sunflower oil, hexadecane, dodecane, and the likes.
• Anti-icing: With no water droplets sticking to the surface coated with DuraOmnis™, icing or frosting of the surface is either eliminated or super easy to clean.
• Viral and bacterial protection: Water and oil repellency also ensure aerosol droplets or human skin touch which may lead to transmission of viruses or bacteria never actually contact the surface providing complete protection against pathogens.
