TTG manufactures oleophobic treatments that improve oil resistance. Oleophobicity is the physical property that measures a material’s ability to repel oils and similar substances. We have experience applying these coatings on several types of surfaces for various applications.
Oleophobic Treatment Capabilities
What Is Oleophobic Coating?
Oleophobic coatings have chemical and physical properties that create an oil-resistant surface. The term oleophobic describes a material’s ability to repel oils, while oleophobicity refers to the level or degree of that oil resistance. These coatings bond with various surfaces to minimize adhesion, allowing oils to bead and roll off rather than spread or penetrate.
The coating reduces contact between the surface and oils, making it immune to particulates like oils, dust and dirt. Besides oil resistance, oleophobic coatings make the substrate easy to clean and help it stay cleaner longer than it would without the coating.
Surfaces That Benefit From Oleophobic Treatments
Oleophobic treatment capabilities can resolve various performance issues with your materials. An oleophobic treatment is the best solution when:
Applications for Oleophobic Coatings
Oleophobic coatings have use cases in these industries:
Medical
These coatings improve wettability and lubricity for medical devices while allowing them to repel water and oil.
Oil and Gas
Oleophobic coatings are used to improve oil recovery for down-well treatments. The coating also treats industrial equipment to reduce cleaning requirements while giving the surface anti-fouling capabilities.
Oleophobic coatings are common for touch screens and hand-held devices. The coating helps these surfaces resist smudges, fingerprints and oils to improve functionality and aesthetics.
The type of substrate and the product’s end use will determine the best approach to the coating. TTG will work with you to choose the best oleophobic treatment for your application.
