VIRIDYN RF-1

HYDROPHOBIC, RAIN-FADE RESTORATION KIT

RF-1 is a durable, RF transparent, hydrophobic nano-coating restoration kit military & enterprise SATCOM users in the field, including for Starlink devices. Available for global delivery.

VIRIDYN RF-1 is a restoration kit for Flat Panel Antenna (e.g. Starlink) and SATCOM Terminals.

Wipe-on application formulated for easy and fast restoration of RF transparency and hydrophobicity in-the-field.

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 (e.g. Starlink).

How to Apply:

  1. Clean surface of dust, oils, and debris (can use isopropyl alcohol, Windex, etc.).

  2. Apply drops to applicator until wet.

  3. Wipe coating onto device with horizontal movements. Surface should appear wet.

  4. Rewet applicator if necessary.

  5. Wipe coating onto device with vertical movements top to bottom.

  6. Air dry (60 minutes to 24 hours).
