Hydrophobic & Oleophobic Treatment

Make glass, optics, electronics and other surfaces repel water and oil, resist fingerprints and clean easily with polysilazane-based treatments. We don’t promise a universal result — we recommend a specific material for your substrate and use case, confirmed by documentation and a sample.

The challenge

Recognise your situation — and what it costs when a surface won't stay clean.

Water, oils and fingerprints settle on glass, displays and hardware constantly. When a surface smudges and holds contamination, the cost is not just cleaning — it is poor readability, rejected parts and a lower-quality feel.

Conventional coatings have limits in demanding, high-touch conditions. Silazane-based treatments form a thin, low-energy layer designed for lasting water and oil repellency — the right grade and process are confirmed during technical review.

Typical situations

High-touch displays and optics — fingerprints and smudging

Wet and humid service — water spotting and residue

FAQ

Common questions about hydrophobic and oleophobic treatment projects.

Can the treatment be applied to an already contaminated surface?

Surface preparation requirements — including cleaning and residue removal — are defined in the Application Guide. The condition of your surface is assessed during technical review.

How is this different from a conventional water-repellent coating?

Silazane-based systems form a thin, low-energy layer designed for durable water and oil repellency. Comparative data for a specific grade is available on request.

How long will the repellency last?

Longevity depends on the substrate, contact conditions and application quality — we validate it on your parts through sample testing rather than promising generic numbers.

Which product should I start with?

Send your substrate, use case and process — our team will recommend a grade and provide the TDS. Custom formulation is possible subject to technical review.

Can I test before committing to volume?

Yes — sample support is available for qualified B2B projects after a short technical review.

What about MOQ and pricing?

Both depend on the grade, packaging and volume — include your estimated quantity in the request and a quotation follows the technical review.

About hydrophobic & oleophobic treatment

Hydrophobic and oleophobic treatments make glass, optics, electronics and other surfaces repel water and oil, resist fingerprints and clean easily. Polysilazane-based systems form a thin, low-energy layer for demanding, high-touch conditions.

Product selection depends on the substrate, use case and application process. Technical data sheets, application guides and sample support are provided on request for each product grade.
