Color: no colour when dry

Water contact angle: over 105°

Mineral oil contact angle: over 60°


Key Features & Benefits

Acrylic-Based Polymer: Provides durable and flexible protection.

Corrosion & Damage Protection: Prevents corrosion, condensation, humidity and sweat damage.

Environmentally Compliant: All ViriDyn conformal coatings are low toxicity, non-ozone depleting and RoHS compliant. ViriDyn conformal coatings are available with flammable and non-flammable solvent components.

Hydrophobic & Oleophobic: Repels both water and oils, achieving an oleophobicity grade of up to 8.

Low Viscosity & Surface Tension: Ensures even coating and penetration into small features.

Retained Permeability: Maintains air permeability, Rayl values, and acoustic penetrance in fabrics, mesh, filters, and membranes.

RF-Transparent: at 2 microns or less.

Salt-Fog Resistance: Protects critical electronics in high-stress harsh environments.

Transparent Coating: Maintains visibility of underlying components. UV tracer compatible for ease of quality control inspections.


Major Applications

Architectural & Building Membranes: Anti-condensation, anti-fungal, waterproofing, protection from chemicals.

Automotive Venting, Membranes & Filtration: OLED/LED headlamps, electric motors, ABS brakes, gas tank pressure.

Consumer Electronics Protection: Protection from water for water resistant electronics, computer disk drives, headphones, and sound systems.

Laboratory & Medical Devices: Venting membranes for catheters, IV filter vents, suction-related apparatuses, and instruments.

Oil & Gas: Gas sensors and fracking water organics cleanup and separation.

Packaging: Vented packaging, including for battery packs and the chemical industry.


VIRIDYN 101-M is a low viscosity, low surface energy solution of a coating carried in a hydrofluoroether solvent.
