PORTFOLIO

This project develops an eco-friendly superhydrophobic coating that repels water efficiently while avoiding harmful fluorinated compounds (PFAS). Using sustainable materials and a simple application process, the coating offers excellent water resistance, durability, and environmental safety. The innovation provides a sustainable alternative for various industries, combining high performance with reduced ecological impact.

Thanks to the support of the Gebert Rüf Stiftung during the Validate phase, we have significantly improved our superhydrophobic coating by optimizing its formulation. We now have good control over the production process and are able to produce consistent volumes with reproducible quality. This new phase will focus more on market readiness, particularly through testing with industrial partners, validating coating durability, identifying the most promising commercial applications, and developing a business model. The goal is also to strengthen industrial collaborations, secure additional funding, and build a team to prepare for the creation of a spin-off and its market entry.
