Ross Technology Corp, a company that specializes in the manufacture of steel products, NeverWet called, is a spray that when applied to a surface makes it completely water repellent. Its hydrophobic effect is impressive, because it increases the contact angle between water and the surface, preventing the liquid molecules to stick together. Ross Technology has applied 13 patents on this product, which could become as famous as Teflon.
We all know that moisture is the enemy of steel structures. When deposited on the same water, the oxygen it contains oxidized iron, and eventually weakens the structure becoming a bunch of useless junk. Manufacturers of steel based artifacts constantly seek ways to keep moisture away from your products, for example using anti-rust paint or different types of oils. However, there are better solutions, as just introduced Ross Technology Corp. This company specializes in the manufacture of steel products has developed a product called NeverWet, which applied as a spray on a surface, regardless of whether or not steel, makes it something completely waterproof.
The search is impressive. Then we come up to see dozens of applications for NeverWet, including some jokes that will surely be memorable. But Ross Technology makers have taken it very seriously, therefore, have sought at least 13 patents for this product. Not only have in mind to use it as part of the treatment they provide to their non-slip floors or racks, but rather seek to become as popular as Teflon. The operating principle of this spray is quite complex, but as has been learned, what the NeverWet is to increase the contact angle between liquid molecules and the surface to be protected. Apparently, when a liquid is deposited on a hydrophilic solid droplets spread completely, with a contact angle close to zero degrees. When the material is less hydrophilic this angle increases to about 30 or 40 degrees. When the angle is greater than 90 degrees, the surface is hydrophobic. And in the case of NeverWet, the angles increased to over 150 degrees, keeping the surface wet. Surely we will see this product in stores before too long.
