Industry Applications
Oleophobic
-
Coated membranes repel water and oil, while allowing passage of air, gases, and sound.
Venting membranes are used in automotive-related applications such as, headlamps, electric motors, ABS brakes, gas tanks pressure sensors, engine oil sensors and combustion engines.
-
Coated vents and mesh provide protection from water for water resistant electronics, computer disk drives, headphones, and sound systems.
-
Venting membranes are used in healthcare applications such as catheters, IV filter vents, suction-related apparatuses, and instruments.
Blood, biofluids, earwax, and lipids repellent coatings are important in design of medical devices, microfluidic devices, and surgical instruments and scopes.
Hydrophobic
-
Hydrophobic nano-coatings are designed for moisture and corrosion protection of printed circuit boards and other electronic devices. These coatings also perform well in the prevention of tin whiskers.
Conformal coatings are essential for protecting PCBs from short circuits, moisture, dust, chemicals, and other environmental hazards.
By forming a protective barrier over the PCB, these coatings help prevent physical damage and corrosion, thereby enhancing the chip's durability. In certain applications, nano conformal coatings are favored for their ability to support heat dissipation, contributing to better thermal management of the PCB.
The choice of conformal coating for a Printed Circuit Board depends on the specific application and the operating environment. For instance, PCBs exposed to harsh chemicals require more robust coatings than those used in controlled, cleaner environments.
Key benefits of conformal coatings on Printed Circuit Boards include:
Protection from environmental factors like moisture, dust, and chemicals
Good heat dissipation
Increased reliability and extended lifespan
Reduced maintenance and repair costs

These coatings are essential for the dependable performance of mission-critical electronics systems in the field.
Superhydrophobic
-
ViriDyn’s superhydrophobic coatings are RF transparent and reduce signal attenuation caused by rain, ice and snow. Major advantages of these coatings include, rain fade reduction, minimize signal loss in Ku and Ka bands and eliminate water film formation. ViriDyn’s coatings can be applied on metals, plastics, ceramic, etc.
Major applications include:
Prevent signal loss due to rain, ice and snow on satellite dishes, radomes, and antenna arrays, including flat panel antenna.
Reduce signal loss due to rain on wind and radiometric sensors.
Reduce ice and snow accumulation on mid-path passive reflectors and repeaters.
-
ViriDyn’s superhydrophobic coatings enable critical sensors to perform continuously and reliably in harsh environments where failure is not an option.
ViriDyn and Cytonix’s coatings are trusted by governments to deliver results when they are needed most.
-
ViriDyn’s superhydrophobic coatings play a key role in the aviation and space industries, enabling critical sensors to perform reliably in high-stress environments.
