- Ross Nanotechnology has developed a new silicon-based spray that may save users buckets in cash by water-proofing electronics.
- NeverWet has a very high contact angle, a way of measuring hydrophobicity or water resistance. The product is long-lasting and can also be used as an anti-icing agent or antibacterial shield.
- “When water hits a NeverWet-coated product or item, it simply beads and rolls off the surface just like the proverbial duck’s back,” reports Digital Trends. “It’s not just water it repels either, as the silicon-based spray sees everything from oil to ketchup instantly fall away.”
- NeverWet was applied to an iPhone that continued to operate successfully, despite being submerged underwater for a half hour.
- The post includes two compelling videos showcasing the capabilities of the technology.
