GENTOO COATING is the next generation of corrosion-resistant and easy-cleaning coatings. With its combination of high performing abrasion resistance and very low sliding angle, GENTOO COATING excels where other coatings have fallen short.

Traditional hydrophobic coatings are transparent and abrasion resistant, but do not shed fluid easily. Superhydrophobic coatings are generally great at shedding water, but are not transparent, and are easily removed. Whether it™s abrasion resistance, oil repellency or visual clarity, conventional coatings have their limitations. GENTOO COATING changes that.

GENTOO COATING is a transparent coating that not only repels water but most oils and solvents. It is also able to withstand significant abrasion without sacrificing performance.

How Does Gentoo Coating Work

GENTOO COATING is a dense polymer system that forms a barrier against corrosion initiators. This is due to its low surface energy, high density, and low porosity. The system is conformal, pinhole free, and very thin (4-6 microns) compared with traditional polymer coatings but far more dense and durable. The higher density of the system provides an excellent barrier to water and corrosive ions.

Adhesion And Durability

GENTOO COATING has robust adhesion to painted, plated, and bare metallic substrates, as well as glass and surface primed plastics. The coating has demonstrated excellent resistance to salt spray, UV exposure,and chemical exposure - significant improvements over traditional hydrophobic coatings.

Corrosion Resistance

When used on top of other qualified systems, GENTOO COATING further reduces corrosion and extends the lifetime of the barrier system and therefore the coated substrate. This is due to its excellent water and salt shedding properties and impact resistance. These properties also significantly reduce the effects of galvanic corrosion of dissimilar metals.

Easy Cleaning

The low sliding angle combined with the high dirt and solvent resistance of the coating allows for easy cleaning of many surfaces with less water. See the video below to see testing that was done to test GENTOO COATING for anti-graffiti applications.

Application

GENTOO COATING is a two-part coating that is mixed together and then applied as a single coat. It can be flow-coated, dip-coated, HVLP sprayed, or painted on with a brush or roller. It provides a lightweight, thin (4-6 microns) coating with minimal surface preparation.

Chemical Resistance

Offers superior resistance to most oils, solvents, and acids.
