HydraShield,  Amazing Futuristic Sol-gel Coating

Water Drop on HyrdaShield Treated Surface
Water Drop on Black Crystal Surface
Treated with
HydraShield
HydraShieldÔ Sol-gel Coating is a thin-film,  silicone based,  polymeric coating specially synthesized to protect surfaces from high humidity or weatherable environments.  HydraShieldÔ is capable of withstanding heat loads up to 450C with little or no thermal breakdown.  This amazing coating is very hydrophobic,  and can be used to repel water in critical electronic applications.  HydraShield is commonly used in applications which require the following properties:  transparent infrared reflection,  low thermal emissivity,  hydrophobic encapsulation,  high heat load capacity,  ductile,  low porosity,  anti-corrosion,  surface protection,  and dielectric applications.
Other applications for this coating are continually investigated.  Some very interesting applications which are currently being investigated are as follows:  Doped HydraShield films for chemical sensors,  doped HydraShield conductive films,  doped HydraShield for luminescent, photochromic, and photoelectric films,  semiconductor-doped sol-gel optics,  and doped HydraShield for ferromagnetic films.
