- Features
Excellent Hydrophobic Properties, Excellent Water Repellency , High Optical Transparency, Hydrophilic, Hydrophobic, UV Resistant; Superior Water Repellency - Upon curing HydroFoe™ develops a surface roughness that is similar to that of the lotus leaf and provides contact angles between 150° and 170°.; Optical Clarity - The combination of the HydroFoe's thinness and surface structure results in excellent optical clarity.; UV Stable - HydroFoe™ is stable in under normal/ambient ultraviolet exposure.; Coating Methods - HydroFoe™ can be applied by a variety of methods including dip, spin, spray, or blade. The substrate will often determine the best coating method.

- Removal, Storage and Disposal
Clean Up and Disposal - Clean up all equipment per the cleaning instructions that came with your equipment. Dispose of collected materials according to local regulations. Cured HydroFoe™ has the same composition as glass and can be disposed of according to the regulations for fused silica. The liquid coating solution containing solvent should be disposed of according to local and federal regulations.; Storage - HydroFoe™ should be stored in securely closed containers. HydroFoe™ may be stored at temperatures form 5° to 30° C. Allow material to acclimate to room temperature of 18 to 30° C prior to application.; Caution - The solvents in HydroFoe™ are flammable in liquid form. Material should not be used in the near open flame or sparks. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Consult MSDS prior to use.; Shelf Life - HydroFoe™ has a shelf life of up to 24 months when properly stored.; Removal - Cured HydroFoe™ may be removed by sanding lightly or rubbing with alcohol.
