Video: Silver Hydrophobic Coating

Shown in this video is a 6” substrate coated with GCL’s (M14) silver. Half of the surface is coated with a secondary hydrophobic coating visibly beading up and repelling water droplets.

Adding our hydrophobic coating to most of GCL’s thin-films, including metallics and AR coatings, will assist in protecting the coated surface from debris and repel water without compromising optical performance.

Hydrophobic coatings can be applied to most coatings on glass, metals and plastic substrates.
