Our coating creates a nano-structured surface that drastically reduces ice adhesion. Ice cannot bond strongly, sliding off effortlessly under its own weight or wind force – like on a slide. This enables proactive “anti-icing” rather than reactive “de-icing.”

Answers to Your Questions
What is a superhydrophobic anti-icing coating, and how does it work?
It is a nanomaterial coating that creates a micro-rough surface structure with low surface energy. This causes water to bead up and roll off, and even if ice forms, the adhesion to the substrate is extremely weak, allowing the ice to shed easily under wind or minimal force.
Can this coating completely prevent ice formation?
It’s more about “anti-icing” than “ice-proof.” Its primary function is to drastically reduce ice adhesion, making any ice that forms very easy to remove, rather than 100% preventing ice nucleation under all conditions.
What is the coating's service life? How often does it need reapplication?
The lifespan depends on environmental exposure (UV, rain, abrasion). Our industrial-grade products are typically designed to last 1-3 years. In harsh environments (e.g., wind turbine leading edges), periodic inspection is recommended, with reapplication as needed.
On which material surfaces can it be applied?
It has a wide range of applications, including composites (e.g., wind turbine blades), metals (e.g., aircraft wings, power towers), glass, and certain polymers/paints. Surface compatibility testing is recommended prior to full-scale application.
Is the application process complicated? Does it require special equipment?
The process is relatively straightforward. For large areas, spraying is the most efficient method. Brushing or dip-coating are also options. No special heavy equipment is typically needed, but proper surface preparation (cleaning, drying) is crucial.
Is the coating surface abrasion and scratch-resistant?
We have enhanced the mechanical durability through formulation optimization. It can withstand certain levels of sand erosion and mechanical contact. However, abrasion resistance in high-wear areas remains a challenge and a key focus of our ongoing R&D.
Is the coating environmentally safe?
Yes, our coating is designed to be eco-friendly. It is formulated without/PFAS-free and other harmful substances. The key components are based on silica and other inorganic oxides, making them safe and non-toxic.
For a surface that is already icy, should we de-ice first or can we apply directly?
All ice, frost, grease, and contaminants MUST be completely removed before application. The coating needs direct contact with a clean substrate to form a strong bond. Applying over existing ice will lead to failure
Will the coating fail in low-temperature environments (e.g., -30°C)?
No. The coating itself has excellent low-temperature resistance; its physicochemical properties remain stable in extreme cold. Its anti-icing mechanism (low surface energy) remains effective at low temperatures.
How is the anti-icing performance evaluated? Is there test data?
We quantify performance through ice adhesion tests, measuring the shear stress required to remove ice. Test data shows our coating can reduce ice adhesion by over 90% compared to an untreated surface. Third-party test reports are available upon request.
