Features Of KEY-216 Lotus Moisture Fluorine-Free Superhydrophobic Nano Coating

  1. Fluorine-free formulation ensures compliance with global PFAS restrictions and supports sustainable manufacturing goals.

  2. Nano-engineered silica-based architecture delivers robust superhydrophobicity (water contact angle >150°) without fluorinated chemistry.

  3. Moisture-triggered self-assembly enables rapid, ambient-cure film formation on diverse substrates.

  4. Exceptional chemical resistance to neutral aqueous solutions, mild acids, and aliphatic hydrocarbons.

  5. Low VOC (<50 g/L) and solvent-free aqueous dispersion format enhances workplace safety and EHS profile.

Typical Applications Of KEY-216 Lotus Moisture Fluorine-Free Superhydrophobic Nano Coating

  1. Protective topcoat for architectural façades, precast concrete, and natural stone surfaces.

  2. Water-repellent treatment for textile substrates in technical apparel and outdoor gear.

  3. Functional coating for electronic enclosures, sensor housings, and PCB edge protection.

  4. Hydrophobic barrier layer for paperboard packaging in food-contact-adjacent applications.

  5. Surface modification of ceramic tiles, glass, and anodized aluminum in interior design elements.

KEY-216 Lotus Moisture Fluorine-Free Superhydrophobic Nano Coating – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for KEY-216?

A: KEY-216 is a proprietary multi-component nanodispersion; individual constituents are disclosed under confidentiality agreement, and the formulation does not carry a single CAS number. Full compositional disclosure is available under NDA for regulatory submissions.


Q2: What is the recommended application dosage for optimal performance?

A: For dip-coating or spray application, target dry-film thickness of 0.8–1.2 µm; typical usage is 8–12 g/m² (as supplied). Exact dosage depends on substrate porosity and desired contact angle — validation testing is advised for critical applications.


Q3: How does KEY-216 differ from fluorinated superhydrophobic alternatives like KEY-215F?

A: KEY-216 replaces perfluoroalkyl chains with tailored siloxane–polyether amphiphiles, eliminating persistent bioaccumulative potential while retaining >148° static water contact angle and comparable roll-off performance under standard test conditions (ASTM D7334).


Q4: Has KEY-216 undergone migration or extraction testing for food-contact-adjacent use?

A: Yes — tested per EU Regulation (EC) No. 10/2011 Annex V: no detectable migration (<0.01 mg/kg) of non-volatile components into 10% ethanol, 3% acetic acid, and olive oil simulants at 40°C for 10 days (validated by SGS Lab Report #K216-MIG-2024-0892).
