VIRIDYN RF
DURABLE, HYDROPHOBIC, RF TRANSPARENT
VIRIDYN RF is a durable coating for SATCOM terminals to minimise Rain-Fade.
Formulated for RF transparency, durability, hydrophobicity, and easy application.
Ideal For:
Comms-on-the-move (COTM): durable, modified ceramic technology forms hard transparent shell that protects against bumps, scrapes, scratches, and knocks. Perfect for backpack deployed terminals.
Moderate Incline Flat Panel Antennas: Hydrophobic protection ideal for Flat Panel antennas positioned at moderate to severe inclines.
Key Features & Benefits
Hydrophobic & Low-Grade Oleophobic: Repels both water and oils.
Easy Application & Reapplication: Fast-curing, one-step system for high-performance in-the-field.
Reapplication Kit: Quick restoration of RF Transparency and hydrophobicity: VIRIDYN RF-1.
High Durability: Ensures surface protection against harsh tactile environments.
RF Transparency: VIRIDYN RF coatings allow radio frequency signals to pass through with minimal interference.
Chemical & Solvent Resistant: Impermeable to gas and corrosive pollutants.
Fluorocarbons & PFAS-Free: Ensuring environmental compliance.
