New development Lotuflon - Rhenotherm No 1 Coatings Plastic Coatings GmbH

Rhenotherm Kunststoffbeschichtungs GmbH in Kempen has developed a new generation of non-stick coatings: a super-hydrophobic fluoropolymer coating with different structure elevations similar to nature's models of lotus leaf and sharkskin.

The completely water and adhesive-repellent coating has a water contact angle of up to 170 ° and thus outshines the lotus effect of the lotus leaf (water contact angle 165 °). The structural materials used are ceramics or high-strength steels.

The areas of application of this superhydrophobic layer are very diverse. In the adhesives industry, for example, deflection rollers for adhesive tapes or labels are coated. Areas of application can also be found in the hygiene product manufacturing industry, in the automotive industry and in the paint processing industry. The big advantage over conventional unstructured or silicone-based systems is abrasion resistance and hardness. The coating is approved for the food industry.
