Coating materials used to decrease icing have a wide variety.

Coatings determined to increase icephobicity are for example polymethylsiloxane (PDMS), smooth silicone rubber and ultra-hydrophobic polycarbonate coating. Different composition of polymeric coatings has been applied widely in the different branches of industries.

Polymethylsiloxane (PDMS) PDMS coating has a very high icephobicity and can shed ice off easily.

Slippery liquid infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) have also been studied for their icephobic qualities. Flame sprayed SLIPS has a low ice adhesion value and could therefore be a viable icephobic coating option.

Fluorine containing coatings (polymeric coating).
