Application examples

Water drops on cardboard

paper & packaging

Treated cardboard shows significantly reduced wetting and beading. Benchmarking (e.g., Cobb test/contact angle/bleed-through) in development. Transferable to customer-specific process windows.

wood protection

Visible water beading and significantly reduced water absorption after treatment. Compatible with common oils/coatings; design depending on substrate and application. Characteristic values (e.g., contact angle/water absorption) project-specific.
