A new waterproof coating has been developed by Daikin Industries
which is both environmentally friendly and will protect your electronics
from water damage. We have featured other waterproof coatings here on
Geeky Gadgets before but what makes this on a little different in that
it dries within a minute at room temperature and once dried creates a
layer just 0.1 micron to 1 micron thick over the electronics.
Keeping
them protected from water and other damaging elements. Watch the video
below to see a demonstration of the new coating in action. Daikin
Industries explains:
“This product isn’t intended for full
waterproofing, but for raising the baseline in waterproofing to everyday
standards. So we’re suggesting this coating as a way to reduce the risk
of phones malfunctioning if they happen to get dropped in water.”
For
example, even if the phone has an earphone jack or connector, there’s
no problem with connection after coating, because this coating is such a
thin film. It can be used for protection against water and moisture in
applications where, until now, a thicker coating was needed.”
The
new costing is currently still under development, but is created by
dissolving a fluoropolymer in a fluorinated solvent. The fluoropolymer
is nonflammable and has low toxicity, making the solution
environmentally friendly.
