At ArkDistro, we understand the importance of staying ahead of the curve in the rapidly evolving field of nanotechnology. Our commitment to partnering with industry pioneers allows us to offer cutting-edge solutions in the form of hydrophobic and icephobic paints and coatings. These innovative products are designed to reduce adhesion and increase water resistance, optimizing surfaces for longevity and performance.

One of the key strategies in reducing ice adhesion is the use of superhydrophobic coatings¹. These coatings, prepared from a mixture of silica nanoparticles and polymer binder, have been shown to significantly decrease ice adhesion with an increase in particle content¹. The ice adhesion can be predicted based on the solid–water–air interface, a correlation that could guide future superhydrophobic coating fabrication to create surfaces with greater reduction in ice adhesion¹.

Another approach that has emerged is based on icephobic coatings. Among the studied nanostructured and nanoscale surfaces, the slippery omniphobic covalently attached liquid (SOCAL) surface with its flexible polymer brushes and liquid-like structure significantly reduced the ice adhesion on both glass and silicon surfaces². The reduction in ice adhesion is attributed to the flexible nature of the brush-like structures of PDMS chains, allowing ice to detach easily².
