VIRIDYN NIV-6-ET
Icephobic, UV-light Resistant, Corrosion Resistant, Hard (7H-9H), Hydrophobic
VIRIDYN NIV-6-ET creates a hard (7H - 9H), hydrophobic & icephobic shell. Formulated for optical transparency and corrosion resistance, while offering low-grade oil repellence. VIRIDYN NIV-6-ET is Fluorocarbons-free and PFAS-free.
Key Features & Benefits
Hydrophobic: Repels water (contact angle > 100 degrees).
Icephobic: Encourages ice & snow release.
Low-Grade Oil Repellence: Can be used to achieve oleophobicity grades 0-1, enhancing anti-fouling properties.
Easy Application & Reapplication: Fast-curing, one-step system.
High Durability: Ensures surface protection against harsh tactile environments.
Chemical & Solvent Resistant: Impermeable to gas and corrosive pollutants. Protects the substrate. Does not decrease porosity of membranes.
Fluorocarbons & PFAS-Free
Major Applications
Automotive LED Lighting: Reduces visibility obstruction by ice and snow. Protects plastic housing substrates from chemical exposure, corrosion, UV light.
LiDAR & Radar: Prevents obstruction of surface. Enhances easy removal of ice and snow when combined with heat.
SATCOM & Telecom: Encourages release of ice and snow from antenna surfaces, reducing signal attenuation in cold climates / seasons.
