Metals are known for their robustness and durability. That is the reason why industrial and commercial ventures depend upon metal-based machines and equipments for better productivity and reliability. However, metal is also more prone to rust-formation as compared to any other material. Hydrophobic Metal Coatings help in protection of metal against rust, environmental elements, corrosion, abrasion, natural wear and tear etc.

Erosion and corrosion are the two most common causes of structural damage. These two environmental elements impact the utility of metal surfaces in a harmful way by reducing their life-span and affecting their performance in a negative manner. It also leads to more frequent damage which calls for frequent maintenance and repair. It would be fair to say that unprotected metal surfaces can prove to be an expensive affair to any industry in the long run. A high-performance protective coating is especially beneficial to industries where prolonged exposure to its equipments and tools to environmental elements such as rain, uv rays, humidity etc cause significant damage to their structural integrity.

Hydrophobic and oleophobic properties of Hydrophobic Metal Coatings repel water, chemical and oils from the surface as if it were afraid of them. By sealing out water and other liquids from coming into direct contact with metal surface, it makes the applied surface incredibly easy to clean and maintain by forming an additional polymer layer over the top of the metal surface. This polymer surface acts as a barrier between abrasives, water, oils, and other chemicals and underlying surface. Nanocoatings are permanent coatings with hydrophobic and oleophobic properties that repels water, oils, water-based fluids, and other chemicals.

Premature rusting and eroding of metal and steel surfaces has been the main cause of concern to large number of industries for a long time now. Frequent repairs means additional expenses and reduced profits for the companies. Earlier, applying traditional coating of normal paint was considered as a temporary solution to the permanent problem of rusting. However, latest advances in polymer science, surface chemistry and nanotechnology have led to the creation of state-of-the-art hydrophobic metal coating, which has made the metal surfaces in industrial units relatively safer, durable, enhanced with prolonged shelf life.

A high-quality corrosion and rust-resistant protective nanocoatings offer protection from natural elements like moisture, sea salts, humidity, sand, water, uv rays, oxidation, fouling and other corrosive chemicals. Anti-corrosion coating, when applied on the metal surface, acts as a rust inhibitor by creating a shield barrier on the substrate so that corrosive elements are not able to come into direct contact with the underlying surface and are repelled away by strong resistive coating.

Nanocoating technology is an appropriate choice for metal and steel surfaces of every type, kind, and size. High-performance, incredibly smooth, abrasion-resistance metal coatings increases durability and performance of the metal parts as well as ensures the prolonged life of a coated surface.

A good quality nanocoating has already undergone various rigorous environmental tests such as Corrosion Resistance Testing, Salt Fog Exposure, Hydrolytic Stability, Outdoor Exposure etc to confirm its efficiency in protection against rust, fouling, oxidization, and corrosion.
