CytoCure DB is a family of hydrophobic and oleophobic conformal coatings. CytoCure has excellent resistance to water-vapor, chemicals, solvents, and abrasion. CytoCure can be applied by dipping, wiping, spraying, syringe-dispensing, etc. When well-cured, contact angles to water greater than 100° can be achieved. CytoCure forms a hard shell around devices that prevents water, water-vapor, and pollutant ingress. CytoCure reduces corrosion. CytoCure is UV-light resistant and lasts 3 to 5 years in extreme sunlight.
Please contact Cytonix for custom applications or formulations. Formulations with fluorescent tracers or tinting are available.
