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!

Ultra-transparent and haze-free superhydrophobic coating
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.

Ultra-low surface energy superoleophobic coating
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™?

Nanostratus is actively involved in the research and development of next-gen easy cleaning surfaces. A slippery liquid-infused porous surface (SLIPS) or liquid impregnated surface (LIS) is a two-layered coating solution with the first layer providing a highly textured porous surface and the second layer offering a low surface energy surface from the impregnated liquid. The first layer is designed such that the loss of lubricating liquid can be eliminated. SLIPS finds numerous applications as ultra-slip easy-clean surfaces, anti-fouling, anti-icing, food waste prevention, medical devices, and protective layer for surface degradation prevention. SLIPS offers several advantages compared to the traditional lotus-based super(de)wetting coatings. The superhydrophobic coatings once abraded lose their waterproofing properties, which we have addressed by developing an ultra-robust coating, DuraSemper™, capable of withstanding 500+ cycles of harsh rotary abrasive cycles. Comparatively, SLIPS have the capability of self-repair when damaged due to infused liquid flowing to the damaged regions. In addition, SLIPS can be made highly transparent due to a smooth topcoat in contrast to a rough topcoat for super(de)wetting coatings which lead to light scattering and significant haze issues. We addressed the transmission and haze problem of super(de)wetting coatings via our DuraVitrum™ product range, which is still under development. SLIPS can also offer very low sliding angles for both high and low surface tension liquids. Interested in knowing more about our research in SLIPS: Contact Us!
Nanostratus is also actively engaged in the research and development of next-gen antifogging coatings. Fogging is the condensation of tiny water droplets on a surface which can then act as nucleation sites for further growth. Coatings being developed will apply to any surface including transparent, translucent, and opaque objects, and would be ideal for optical applications such as ophthalmic lenses, goggles, camera lenses and sensors, mirrors, windowpanes, automotive windshields, and the likes. The technology works in complete contrast to super(de)wetting coatings where water is made to repel from the surface. For anti-fogging coatings, the water droplets wet the surface completely forming a super-wetting state thereby providing complete transparency while eliminating fogging. The technology was first researched by NASA improving the spacesuits of their astronauts and we are bringing this technology to consumer homes.
