Iranian Knowledge-Based Company Uses Nanotechnology to Produce Hydrophobic Glass
In addition to improving visibility in rainy and snowy conditions, the product reduces the need for frequent window washing and significantly reduces water consumption.
The product is suitable for car windows, homes, hospitals, buildings, hotels, and stores. Reducing the frequency of window washing, improving visibility in adverse weather conditions, and lasting up to two years if the surface is not scratched are the advantages of this product.
The company is also a pioneer in production of calcium carbonate nanoparticles. Iran is the eighth largest producer of these nanoparticles in the world.
Hydrophobic is a property of molecules that do not mix with water. Hydrophobic molecules, also called hydrophobes, are water fearing molecules.
In chemistry, hydrophobicity is the chemical property of a molecule that is seemingly repelled from a mass of water. In contrast, hydrophiles are attracted to water. Hydrophobic molecules tend to be nonpolar and, thus, prefer other neutral molecules and nonpolar solvents.
