A process for imparting superhydrophobicity to aluminum surfaces! Okuno Pharmaceutical Industry, a specialist in aluminum surface treatment, presents a new product!
The lotus leaf is known as a surface with water-repellent properties found in nature. The surface of the lotus leaf has protrusions of about a few micrometers, and this fine uneven structure manifests its water-repellent properties. As a result, water on the surface of the lotus leaf forms droplets due to surface tension and rolls off along with dirt and foreign substances. By chemically reproducing this self-cleaning property (lotus effect), we have successfully imparted anti-fouling and self-cleaning properties to aluminum surfaces. We propose applications of this process for anti-fouling in buildings, prevention of frost on air conditioning parts, and suppression of reduced thermal conductivity due to water accumulation on cooling components.
