Hydrophobic coatings

Hydrophobic coatings are special surface treatments that make materials repel water. When applied, these coatings create a barrier that prevents water droplets from soaking in or spreading out, causing them to bead up and roll off easily. This helps protect the underlying surface from moisture damage, dirt, and stains. Hydrophobic coatings are used on various objects like electronics, fabrics, and buildings to enhance durability, maintain cleanliness, and improve performance in wet conditions. They work by reducing the surface energy, making it difficult for water molecules to adhere.
