EXOCOAT SH (Development Product)
Superhydrophobic Sol-Gel system for Breathable Concrete and
Masonry Sealers
Axcentive® has developed a sol-gel-technology with extremely high water exclusion properties to
produce superhydrophobic coatings.
EXOCOAT® in Coatings
The EXOCOAT range of raw materials for coatings is specifically developed for smart and functional
coatings, to obtain functions like easy to clean, superhydrophobic, superhydrophilic, anticorrosive, heat
reflective, anti-microbial, anti-fogging and self-cleaning. The technology developed comprises advanced
inorganic and hybrid sol-gel-technology, organometallic polymers and nano materials for solvent and
water based systems.
EXOCOAT SH
EXOCOAT SH is a unique 1K superhydrophobic sol-gel system that can be applied on concrete,
pavement, wall and stucco to get the so called Lotus Effect. The sol-gel system deposits as
superhydrophobic particles on the porous substrate. It will not form a film and as a result the wall stays
breathable. With the contact angle of 145o water droplets bounce back from the surface and will roll
down immediately upon touch. As a result the wall remains dry, clean and will behave as efficient
barrier against water.
