Fluowet® ETC 100 & ETC 140
Category: Coatings - glass/ceramic
Description:

Clariant offers a range of easy-to-clean (ETC) coatings for the protection of glass, ceramic and metal surfaces. Fluowet ETC 100 and Fluowet ETC 140 are solvent based systems which either are applied by manual wiping (ETC 100) or via spray coating to the respective surface (ETC 140).

Typical Use:

ceramic
glass
enamel

Apparent use of Nanotechnology: fluoropolymer modified nanoparticles in solution, formation of nano-scaled polysiloxane particles
Reason for Inclusion:

"All products are based on fluoropolymer modified nanoparticles in solution and can be applied to the substrate surface by spray application or wiping." "Inorganic-organic hybrid nano-composite materials with unique properties can be prepared by the sol-gel-technology. A schematic illustration of the process is given in picture 1. The hydrolysis of organically modified silanes leads to the formation of nano-scaled polysiloxane particles." (see product brochure via product link)
