VIRIDYN 101-M
HYDROPHOBIC, OLEOPHOBIC (up to Grade 8)
VIRIDYN 101-M is a hydrophobic and oleophobic nano-coating surface treatment for membranes, filtration, and venting devices.
Application methods: Easily applied by dip, spray, spin, flow, or syringe coating. Masking not required when VIRIDYN 101-M concentrations of less than 4% are used. Dries quickly at room temperature.
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.
This coating is designed to create high-performance oleophobic and hydrophobic surface properties on filters, membranes, and venting systems.
101-M dries to a thin, transparent, long-lasting film with great hydrophobic and oleophobic properties. This conformal coating is easy to apply, non-flammable, low in toxicity, non-ozone depleting and RoHS compliant.
Thin films dry in a few minutes at room temperature to a surface energy of about 10 dynes/cm.
101-M is available as a liquid nano-coating or as a polymer resin.
