Polymeric coating

Polymer coatings are a choice for icephobic coating. Different composition of polymeric coatings has been applied widely in the different branches of industries.

During freezing water will penetrate the topography of a surface, which increases the ice-surface- contact area that increases the ice adhesion strength. Good icephobic coatings have the proper combination of wettability (hydrophobic or superhydrophobic), suitable surface roughness and low surface free energy.
