Hydrophilic/hydrophobic coatings
on glass and metal change their wetting properties: either with a hydrophobic effect by increasing the contact angle (lotus leaf effect) or with a hydrophilic effect with the formation of a closed film achieved by reducing the contact angle.
An anti-fog coating is often used in combination with other coatings (e.g. anti-reflection coating).
With hydrophobic coating ("lotus effect"), the water forms large drops and then drains off.
With hydrophilic coating, a continuous film of water forms that does not hinder transmission - important at horizontal surfaces
Material types and sizes
We offer the following materials with anti-fog surface coatings:
We coat not only different types of glass but also different metal surfaces – in each case according to the customer’s specific application requirements.
