What Materials are Used in Nanocoatings for Stain Resistance?
A variety of materials are used in nanocoatings to impart stain resistance, including:
- Silicon Dioxide (SiO2): Commonly used due to its excellent hydrophobic properties. - Titanium Dioxide (TiO2): Known for its self-cleaning abilities and photocatalytic properties. - Zinc Oxide (ZnO): Offers UV protection along with stain resistance. - Fluorinated Compounds: Provide both hydrophobic and oleophobic properties.
