Usually, it takes between 10 and 20 layers to get the desired coating,
The coating basically causes water that hits the surfaces to develop a sustained sheeting effect, and that prevents fogging,
As a result, the droplets flatten and merge into a uniform transparent sheet rather than forming countless individual light-scattering spheres.
They remain stable over long periods, do not require light to be activated and can be applied to virtually any surface.
The nano-particles in the coating strongly attract the water droplets and force them to form much smaller contact angles with the surface,
Our coatings have the potential to provide the first permanent solution to the fogging problem,
