Watch how SH-PTFE™ repels aqueous liquids.

Superhydrophobic Material

High-performance, easy-to-apply, and regenerable surfaces for aerospace, industrial, and commercial use.

Our proprietary process creates a microstructured fluoropolymer surface that delivers a robust, high-performance, and long-lasting superhydrophobic effect. With an adhesive backing, the material applies as easily as tape—no complex coating steps required. Sheets can be cut into custom shapes, allowing precise lamination on both simple and complex geometries.

Applications include: self-cleaning surfaces, waterproofing, anti-icing, anti-fouling, process masking, and many other uses across diverse industries.

Originally developed with NASA for advanced fluid management in space, SH-PTFE™ combines aerospace-grade performance with real-world practicality. Key properties include:

  • Anti-Wetting – Repels a wide range of liquids, including water, aqueous solutions, and many polar fluids. This property helps prevent unwanted wetting, corrosion, and liquid intrusion across critical surfaces.

  • Anti-Fouling – Liquids and contaminants roll off easily, carrying away dirt, debris, and residues. Surfaces stay cleaner for longer, reducing maintenance and improving reliability.

  • Durable & Stable – PTFE-based, a proven fluoropolymer recognized for its resistance to chemicals, thermal cycling, and environmental degradation. Naturally flame-resistant and highly reliable in extreme conditions.

  • Regenerable – Superhydrophobic performance can be restored with simple soap-and-water cleaning, even after exposure to oils, dirt, or harsh operating environments—extending material life and reducing replacement costs.
