Hydrophobic Coatings and Surfaces: 2016-2023

In this report we identify the opportunities that are emerging from the latest developments in hydrophobic materials andsurfaces. These include important new materials based on carbon nanotubes, graphene, nanoparticulate calcium carbonate andvarious nanocomposites, which are slated to create a new breed of “superhydrophobic” products. The report also covers the latestdevelopments from more conventional silicon-based hydrophobic materials as well as novel patterning approaches to creatinghydrophobic surfaces.

Hydrophobic coatings have been available for decades and virtually every major specialty chemical company has a range of suchcoatings in their product catalogs. Until recently, these coatings have been treated as semi-commodities. What n-tech is seeing,however, is a new emphasis on hydrophobic materials reflecting (1) the technological developments mentioned above and (2) thegrowing need for high-performance hydrophobics in the marketplace.

This report also analyzes how revenue generation potential in the hydrophobic material space is changing. In this analysis, the focus ison self-cleaning, anti-corrosion and de-icing, but we also examine the commercial applications for the closely related oleophobic andomniphobic materials.

In putting together this report n-tech has drawn on its extensive experience in the smart materials space as well as interviews withkey companies shaping these markets. n-tech believes that this report will provide valuable insight into hydrophobic materialsmarkets that will benefit marketing and business development executives from various parts of the supply chain, including rawmaterial suppliers, chemical and coatings companies, glass companies, OEMs, as well as investors with an interest in the smartmaterials business.

• n-tech believes that if cost challenges can be overcome,hydrophobic materials based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) willlead to a new generation of high-performance“superhydrophobic” materials. Promising designs for these novelCNT-based hydrophobes include those utilizing CNT “forests,”CNT meshes and approaches making use of the intrinsichydrophobic channels in CNTs themselves. By 2021, sales of CNT-based hydrophobic coatings are expected to reach more than$360 million.

• Low-performance, semi-commoditized hydrophobic materialshave been used on building surfaces for years. However, themost innovative self-cleaning building products – windows, tilesand wall panels – have tended to use hydrophilictechnology. The new superhydrophobic technologies will catchup with hydrophilic products and by 2021 the constructionindustry will account for more than $724 million in hydrophobiccoatings and surfaces.

• Also, by 2021, the automotive sector will spend $305 million onhydrophobic materials and surfaces. These will be especiallyuseful for cleaning and anti-stain functionality in buses and taxis,which have to cope with large numbers of passengers. However,for private vehicles hydrophobic coatings will be positioned as“what’s next” after conventional polishes and coatings. Nissanhas already developed a “concept car” with a superhydrophobiccoating.

Opportunities & Challenges

Hydrophobic R&D Trends and Opportunities

Technology Opportunities Challenges

Carbon nanotubes

Many ways to use carbon nanotubes to achieve

hydrophobicity. Work can also leverage the enormous

ongoing work on CNTs more generally

Carbon nanotubes are not always easy to work with or to

turn into mass market products. Cost may also be an issue

Graphene

Graphene may possibly lead to similar hydrophobic coatings

and surfaces to CNTs, although perhaps more powerful and

or less costly

At very early stage of development at the present time.

Development and commercialization directions are

unclear

Nanoparticulate calcium

carbonateSeems useful in the oil industry and for de-icing applications Given other R&D directions, may be a niche opportunity

Silicon-based materials

Silicon-based materials are currently the mainstay

hydrophobic materials. Silanes and nanosilicon look like a

new opportunity going forward. Products using these

materials generally are relatively low cost and they may also

be tunable

No obvious negatives, but other materials may ultimately

have higher performance

Nanocomposites Mentioned frequently in the literature Does not seem to be much R&D in this space as yet

Fabrication of hydrophobic

surfaces

Many roads to creating such surfaces including self-

assembly and laser treatments

Coatings still seem to be the more popular way to

commercialized hydrophobicity

Hydrophobic Materials in the Automotive Sector


Phone: 804-938-0030



• Future advanced hydrophobic coatings sold into the automotive sector will be positioned as “what’s next” after conventional polishes and coatings and they will be leveraging an established market that has been built for decades by polishes, etc.

• Hydrophobic surfaces fit very well into the needs of the automotive market providing a means of cleaning off dirt and grease. Extending the use of these coatings to the interior of the car, hydrophobic coatings also help to protect against bacteria, odor and stains; this is especially valuable in public vehicles where these are most likely to occur.

• Hydrophobic coatings for the automotive industry will have to be compliant with established industry standard for automotive coatings. They will also have to meet customer expectations in terms of gloss, etc.

• The big hurdles for self-cleaning coatings in automotive are both better performance (how well they repel dirt, water, etc.) and especially durability. Currently available hydrophobic coatings like Rain-X have to be frequently reapplied.

Hydrophobic Materials in Aircraft and Marine Transportation


Phone: 804-938-0030



• Many of the applications for hydrophobic coatings and surfaces in the aircraft and marine transportation space overlap with the public vehicle segment of the automotive market. With the same need for self-cleaning surfaces with demanding requirements because they are used by passengers who are both numerous and also not that personally interested in keeping the surfaces clean

• As a result of the limitations of these existing technologies, n-tech sees a significant opportunity for hydrophobic coatings that prevent ice formation on aircraft surfaces and are not degraded during flight. These are only just beginning to become available and are subject to intensive research.

• Corrosion is a huge problem in a number of transportation sectors and cause billions of dollars of damage per year. Hydrophobic surfaces offer a way to improve on the performance of conventional anti-corrosion coatings and also to avoid one of the biggest problems for conventional anti-corrosion additives; chromium VI.

• Anti-fouling coatings can be fabricated using many materials technologies of which hydrophobic materials are just one possibility and there is a lot of R&D in this space—and investigation of new materials—because companies are trying to move anti-fouling coatings away from the traditional copper-based materials, and metallic materials more generally.

Markets for Hydrophobic Materials in Textiles and Clothing


Phone: 804-938-0030



• Hydrophobic coatings of various kinds are already available for protecting textiles including furniture fabrics, window treatments, conventional clothing and uniforms. Hydrophobic coatings can provide stain resistance/removal and self-cleaning functionality for all these textile types, although they do so in competition with hydrophilic coatings and a large range of stain removers and stain repellants that have been around for years.

• Different segments of the textile market have different potentials for use of hydrophobic coatings. Uniforms for medical and military personnel both have considerable potential for penetration of self-cleaning technology, for example. But other sectors also have some potential including expensive fashion clothing and some non-clothing applications, including carpets and furniture. Low-end casual clothing may be too price sensitive to support expensive coatings, while uniforms, especially military uniforms, might find the value offered by a hydrophobic coating or similar to be compelling.

• What smart coatings, including hydrophobic coatings, bring to the table compared to more traditional coatings is that they are not just better at repelling dirt, stains, and spills, but even actively eradicating them. Other important functionalities of hydrophobic coatings in the clothing and textiles sector include the following repelling liquids, anti-bacterial action and preventing dirt and particles becoming embedded into the fabric

Other End-User Markets for Hydrophobic Materials


Phone: 804-938-0030



• Hydrophobic surfaces for consumer electronics devices are an emerging opportunity, primarily because cell phone and tablet makers are always on the lookout for new ways to distinguish their products in the marketplace. Hydrophobic coatings for consumer products may make money from providing water resistance, anti-abrasive functionality, fingerprint reduction, anti-bacterial action, and avoidance of dirt and stains.

• Hydrophobic materials have been used in the food industry for some time in order to preserve ingredients and in food packaging. And while many applications for hydrophobic surfaces in this industry are reasonably mature, the emergent opportunities appear to be in “slippery food packaging,” which enables viscous food products to flow smoothly.

• Hydrophobic coatings and surfaces have claimed a number of applications in water treatment. Some of these include: 100-percent efficient water recollection systems and irrigation systems, latrines for areas where water is not abundant enough to allow for effective cleaning and removal of salt deposits without using fresh water.

• Hydrophobic materials represent an efficient means of imparting antimicrobial functionality and can serve as smart antimicrobials in a number of different applications including medical clothing, medical devices, walls and floors of clinics. Patterned hydrophobic surfaces also show promise for "lab-on-a-chip" microfluidic devices and can improve surface-based bioanalysis.
