Water & Oil Repellents

Overview

Protection against stains, corrosion & liquid damage.

Water and oil repellents are substances that prevent liquids from adhering to surfaces. They are commonly used to make fabrics, coatings and surfaces hydrophobic or oleophobic — meaning they repel water and oil — helping protect against stains, corrosion and other damage caused by liquids.

These repellents are used across a wide range of applications, including clothing, footwear, electronics and construction materials. Common formulation types include waxes, silicones, fluorocarbons and nanotechnology-based coatings.
