is it actually "released" though?

 

Wow i would put that on everything too lol

this is from there website:

Pressure:



• Remains dry under 1 foot of water for months

• Remains dry under 90 feet of water for 6 days



Taber abrasion: Remains superhydrophobic for 30 cycles of tabor test with CS10 wheel

Toughness: Remains superhydrophobic for over 600 rubs with latex glove or cotton cloth

Salt fog: No visible corrosion after 1,000 hours of salt fog

 

 

basically, i'm really interested in somehow spraying the entire underbody of the car with this stuff, plus wheel arches, the coilovers, stock suspension...... i wonder how feasible it is

Seems like application of the coating etc is extremely important as far as protection and longevity goes - and has a ton of fumes as well

 

very interesting stuff

 

I wasn't gonna watch the video but this post has changed my mind

 

Search for it on Youtube, there's tons of videos showing this being used to waterproop RC cars, speaker grilles (water can't pass through the holes after coating) and even one guy that sprayed the inside of a cell phone and makes an underwater call.

I'd love to coat old people's steps in the winter so I wouldn't have to visit them with my big red ambulance when they fall and break something haha

 

better hope their boots aren't wet

 

Curious as to where can u get this

 

Funny... I saw this demo at TED long beach this year. He had too many people around him to talk to him. I found the TED Talk online.

Here are some of Mark's comments:

": The current formula would not last more than a year before needing to be reapplied. We have some new formulas coming out that will last multiple years."

"You are correct, sand blasting will take it off, as it does to most coatings. The Ultra-Ever Dry has better abrasion than previous superhydrophobics, but that is relative. The overall abrasion is okay, but not a strong point of the material. So no need to ring those bells yet unless you have an application that works with its strengths. Thanks for the comments."

" A suggested United States list price for a gallon of top coat and a gallon of bottom coat is about $ 2.16 for both coats to cover a square foot. So a pair of work boots might cost $ 3.00 in material. You get approximately 250 ft2 per gallon so the price per gallon ends up being about $ 540 for both gallons. It would be more in the UK due to freight, duties, etc.

Please note it is only approved for industrial use in the US at this time.

Thanks"

"22 hours ago: It is a two coat pray system. You can use air sprayers, trigger sprayers or pump sprayers. Spray a thin, 1 mil coating for the bottom, allow 20 minutes to dry, then the same for the top coat and allow 10 minutes to dry Thanks!"

 

mega bump for this:

not ultra ever dry but:

MUCH cheaper than ultra ever dry lol

 

Gotta be rustoleom to completely try and ruin their market - Bet it barely works compared to this other stuff.

 

the product seems to be literalyl exactly the same

 

I've been wanting to study the effects inside a engine... My engine is upward of 15k at the moment so I don't wanna start there. Can you imagine the effects inside a crank case? Oil drain back wouldn't be an issue... Hard right hand sweepers would pull the oil out of the sump only for it to flush right back in. No need for a crank scraper... It could have amazing results. But what would it do at 300* oil temps over months of use? I wish I had a spare engine on a run stand to test this out. Also would need a oil testing program to monitor brake down into the oil itself.
