CytoPel 600 is a hydrophobic and oleophobic versatile nano coating. It is polymer solution for coating membranes, glass, plastic, and metal surfaces. CytoPel repels water, oils, solvents, buffers, and biofluids (blood, serum, urine, etc.). Thin films dry in a few minutes at room temperature and provide a surface with a contact angle to water of >110°. On membranes, mesh and filters, CytoPel does not occlude pores and helps achieve oleophobicity grades up to 8. Formulations with fluorescent tracers are also available. CytoPel is a good replacement for 3M Novec family of conformal coatings. Please contact Cytonix for help with product selection and applications.
