NANOMYTE® SuperCN Plus
NANOMYTE® SuperCN Plus is a superhydrophobic coating for a variety of surfaces, such as metal, plastic, glass, painted surfaces, and fabrics. Surfaces treated with SuperCN Plus force liquids to bead up and roll off, shedding water instantly and leaving the surface completely dry.

- Curing
- NANOMYTE® SuperCN Plus is thermally cured at an elevated temperature. Recommended curing conditions:
- PMMA
- 2 hours at 85°C
- Polycarbonate
- 1 hour at 120°C
- Other
- 30 minutes at 150°C (for substrates that can withstand high temperatures)
- Shorter cure times / reduced temperatures may also be used depending on surface properties and performance requirements; test samples for desired performance when deviating from recommendations.

- Coating Application
It is recommended that coating be applied with an HVLP spray gun or an air brush in a well-ventilated spray booth. Shake the solution to mix well before coating application. For HVLP spray gun, a nozzle size of < 1.0 mm is recommended, and the pressure should be set at approximately 25 to 30 psi. Apply one or two uniform coats (no drying in between) to achieve a superhydrophobic surface. For best coating performance, the coating solution should be stored in a refridgerator/freezer. If refridgerated, warm the solution up to room temperature before application.
- Surface Preparation
Ensure surfaces to be coated are clean and dry – the surfaces should be water-break free before coating application. The coating can be applied with or without the use of a primer depending on the substrate. NEI supplies a primer product, NANOMYTE® SR-Primer, which works well with a range of plastics. The primer may be applied by dipping, flowing, spinning, rolling or spraying. For spray application of the primer, an HVLP spray gun with a nozzle size of < 1.0 mm is recommended, and the pressure should be set at approximately 25 to 30 psi. The primed parts should then be dried at 70ºC for 10 min before application of NANOMYTE® SuperCN.
- Storage and Handling
Precautions for Safe Handling Appropriate personal protective equipment should be used at all times. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Provide good ventilation or extraction and avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of vapor. Keep away from heat, sparks, flames and other sources of ignition. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Conditions for Safe Storage For best coating performance, store Part B in a freezer or a refrigerator. Keep the containers of Part A tightly sealed and store in a cool and dry place. Avoid storage above 30 °C / 86 °F and contamination with incompatible materials. Keep away from heat, sparks, flames and other sources of ignition. Residual vapors might explode on ignition.
