Self-cleaning Surfaces are our Business

The leaves of lotus flower have self-cleaning ability. Dirt is carried off by rain water. Scientists discovered the secret of self-cleaning. The complex hierarchical micro/nanostructure of lotus leaf create superhydrophobicity. Engineers are mimicking lotus leaf effects for self-cleaning application.

Do you dream a magic bathtub having self–cleaning surfaces? There are many obstacles. For example, bathtub always deals with detergent containing surfactants. However, when lotus leaves or mimicked surfaces contact with a surfactant, superhydrophobicity lost permanently [2]. They change to hydrophilic surfaces.    

Engineers in Fluonova Inc. developed the material and the method that change a normal bathtub to a magic bathtub. The magic bathtub has self cleaning ability. The material selected is fluorinated polyurethane having very low surface energy. Fluorinated polyurethane repels water, hydrophilic dirt, hydrophobic dirt, and surfactants. A special application method makes the magic bathtub with microscopic rough surfaces. The microscopic rough structures enhance water repellence and provide non-skid bottom.  Surfactants with dirt are easily washed away by water.  Hydrophobicity and self –cleaning ability is recovered when surfactants are cleaner out. It is better than a lotus leaves in a real world bathtub application. Fluonova put a self-cleaning bathtub dream to the real world.

Do you dream a magic bathtub having self–cleaning surfaces, a non-skid bottom, and a brilliant color? Yes! You can make a magic bathtub yourself.

Fluonova now provides the training courses and materials for making magic self-cleaning bathtub 

Fluorinated polyurethane provides refinised surfaces with excellent chemicals, acid, alkali, salts, mildew, microbe, and stain resistance

Fluorinated polyurethane provides finised surfaces with excellent water and grease repellence.
