METASORB's superhydrophobic coating technology is a PFAS‑free, two‑layer surface‑engineering system that marries a patented, cross‑linked polymer with a customisable nanocomposite top layer. The polymer layer anchors atomically to metals, glass, plastics, and composites, delivering long‑term adhesion and chemical/UV stability. A subsequent nanoparticle spray imparts micro‑ and nanoscale roughness, forming a self‑cleaning skin that repels water, oils, and microbes. Our competitive edge is durability —while most commercial water-repellent coatings wear away quickly, our proprietary technology remain intact through abrasion, UV exposure, and harsh cleaning, ensuring long-term performance and compliance with tightening environmental regulations.
WORLD CLASS R&D
The coating is the result of more than 5 years of focused R&D led by Professor Antonio Tricoli, and Professor David Nisbet. Their combined expertise drove the technology from concept to commercial‑ready performance.
- Superhydrophobicity: water‑contact angle 160–163 °.
- Antimicrobial: > 99 % reduction within minutes.
- Abrasion resistance: industry-leading abrasion resistance.
- Chemical stability: maintains performance after 24 h in acid.
- Outdoor exposure: still superhydrophobic after 12 months weathering trials.
- Corrosion protection: no rust after 30 days seawater immersion; scratches remains protected.
- Optical clarity: > 90 % light transmittance on glass.
- Cost effective at scale
UNIVERSAL APPLICATION
The customizable nanocomposite layer enables us to precisely tailor our spray coating technology for a wide range of applications, including:
- Protective paints — self‑cleaning topcoat that resists stains, graffiti, and weathering.
- Marine hulls & ballast systems — anti‑corrosion, anti‑fouling shield that cuts drag and fuel use.
- Food/pharma‑grade surfaces & biomedical implants — hygienic layer that inhibits biofilm and speeds sanitisation.
- Architectural glass & Automotive panels — hydrophobic film keeps surfaces clear, sustaining appearance and output.
- Solar panels, electronics & sensors — ultra‑low‑fouling finish for easy wash‑down and longer service life.
- Defence & Aerospace: Tough, self-cleaning coating protects surfaces from icing, wear and corrosion.
